Still plugging along

 Hello everyone,

Still kicking, finally fulfilled a dream of mine on the Harley, I ordered the electric start kit and it should be here this week or early next week. I met the guy who makes them probably 10 or so years ago at Waseon, Ohio, at the AMCA swap meet and decided then it would go on this bike. I also picked up the windshield for the side car the frame is in good shape but the windshield itself and the apron need to be replaced. I’ve been looking for one of those for even longer and finally found one I could afford.

I’m still working on the house and such, cutting wood etc.. but am closing in on starting to work on the bike. I’m getting really excited! The engine guy contacted me and I have to run some money up to him for parts, hopefully in the next couple of weeks. 

My little job came to an end unfortunately. Things got slow and he has to let me go, I may look for another job just to keep buying parts, although I can do it without that distraction.

It looks like we may be selling the homestead come next summer, so the bike has to be running at least even if it’s not painted yet.

Well, I think that’s all for now.

Talk to you soon,

Back at it

 Hello everyone,

Made it back from Canada. Great trip, beautiful scenery, wonderful people! Traveled about 4,000 miles, and enjoyed all of it!

Returned to work on Monday, trying to save a little money for the electric start kit for the Harley. I had enough when I left on the trip but a windshield for the sidecar came up on eBay and I won it at an auction! A little more than I wanted to spend but I know they’re getting scarcer than hen’s teeth to find anymore, and it’s one more piece of the puzzle.

I didn’t get the house completely painted and even though my wife doesn’t think so, I’m fairly certain it won’t get finished until next spring. I’m going to start splitting wood today and cutting in the next few days.

I haven’t heard anything from the engine guy, but that’s ok I’m not in any kind of hurry for that just yet, actually, January would be about perfect.

Well, I think that’s all for now, talk to you soon,
