I'm soon to be fifty two. Been working since I was thirteen. Pretty broad sprectum. I have been a door to door vacuum cleaner salesman with a brown three piece polyester suit and a greasemonkey in an old grease pit. I've been listening to the voices of the leaders and watching trends.
Seems that in a couple of years I may have to find something else to do.
Oh buttfuck!

I never fully said so, but the amount and the quality of work that went into that vehicle is staggering considering that you only do it in whatever spare time you have. You're nearly there now. Keep it up because it's beautiful and nearly finished. Soon You'll be posting pictures of it at shows.

I hate hogs. It stems from the fact that about 15 years ago I bought my first wife one of those Viet Nam pot bellied pigs. A choice I regretted many times. He was so cute when he was little, but he grew into a nasty fucking fat hog. He tore up my house. He made me want to kill him. He was disgusting. My wife loved him and he could do no wrong. I swear he was a large factor in me getting divorced from her. I knew she'd go and take him with her. Let's say I enjoyed that video.

Things seem pretty weird sometimes, but I think about the population explosion and energy crisis fears of the seventies, the Japs inevitable ownership of the US in the 80s, the Arabs in the 90's, Y2K, and on and on.
We have been hearing about the Boggey man Du Jour for a long time now. And if you listen to some, that Boogey man is me. When I think about who benefits from turning the US into Mad Max III the answer is really, nobody. If they are so fucking smart they can manipulate us all, what do they stand to benefit stealing our worthless fiat currency just to hold worthless fiat currency?
We've fucked the manufacturing base and sent the service industry to India. I am beginning to think we are delusional to think that anybody that can find their ass with both hands wants what we got.
Couple that with the fact that we'll shoot back when they come for us, are they really that stupid to try?
I dunno... I can read all that infowars, world net daily, etc. stuff and see how it could happen. Then I think of guys in bunkers ten years ago getting ready for their damn computers to quit assuming the world was over. Seems like when you choose sides in these things you're hosed by default if you choose wrong and you're prepared for no life worth living if you're right.
I think I need to live frugally, teach my kids and future grandkids how to properly bbq pork loin, hope for the best and keep enough invested in precious metals (brass and lead) to ruin the day of anybody that thinks I don't deserve to do that.
But then, I am a dumbass. I had three customers tell me that just last week...

We all have one in the back of our mind. Mine is a Bensen Gyrocopter. Short take off and landing and fly like an eagle on two to four cylinders. A really clean British chopper I could build myself. Man if I could have the ultimate vehicle. I wouldn't trade my chopper for the gyrocopter though. I think I'd have to have two. Not just one. A gyrocopter and a Triumph or BSA or Norton chopper. Oh wait! A gyrocopter.
A Corvette, a piper cub. Ferrari or biggs & stratton. South Bend or Bridgeport. Brown and Sharp or Starret? Harrington Richards? Smith and Wesson?
What two machines would you like to have in your shed?

They go up real quick and they last forever. My workshop used to be a horse barn. All metal. Four phases of construction to get it to where it is now. Total metal frame and total metal skin. The metal skin must be rolled with ribs and valleys to make it rigid enough to span a certian distance without support. That means at the crown of the roof, places where the walls meet the cieling there are many square feet of open corrigations acting as little air scoops. Man I wish I had a finished interior like you do. My heater could handle a shop like that nicely. As it is now I have to position the heater into the area where I expect to spend the most time in. When I go into the other areas I must return to warm my hands and butt from time to time.
But in the summer when it's already hot, the metal can radiate the sun's heat. Unless I take a back wall panel off to allow the air from my fan to exit, it's a fucking convection oven.
Wish I had a shop with a finished interior.
There'd be a lot more shit done around here.
Your shop reminds me of my friend's which is like that. A big two-car affair with an ajoining bathroom with bathtub and shower. All finished inside. He rolls his bikes up close to his 56 chevy and the guys come over with amps and boxes and drum sets and set em up. Dave's a hell of a guitar player. The other guys are good too. Speedy on the drums always reminded me of a kid I went to highschool with. The skinny singer guy sucks. Just plain sucks in my mind. My long time buddy is on either the keyboard or backup guitar and he's good. One time there was a guy who was sort of an old hippy who came to a party there and brought this little short guitar with a hollow small wooden box and a neck and strings and pickups. He came in with the guys about midway and did another hour. He plugged his shit in and got it tweeked and did Free Bird first. Lyrics and lead guitar. He and that funny little guitar he played in his lap pretty much mesmorized 50 drunk hippies for a coupla hours. Me and Kathy came home from that one but a lot of people crashed on the trampoleen and in the yard. None of us remember that much of it. That was a fun night. OOPS! I changed subject.

This guy rebuilt this car one nut and bolt at a time. He took it down to the chassis and did everything it needed. It was all either replaced or it was made factory perfect, and he has a website devoted to it to prove it. While you're there, go to the home page and look at some of his others. He's got the time and the stick-to-it-ness needed to do it the right way, not to mention a lot of money to spend.
She was very young and her family had one just like that but it was red. It ran outta gas or something like that but it ended up on the side of the road and the family had to hoof it to the closest phone. When they finally got back to it, it was gone. Stolen, never to be seen again. Hell it could be the one in the picture.

Long time, no see over here! Don't have enough time to write a book on what all has gone on, but will try to update briefly.
Just finished up my 3rd semester of college. If Vo-Rehab springs for it, I'll do 2 more semesters and graduate with 2 degrees.
Sadly, the zoo crew is diminishing in size, and lost three of my beloved dogs this year. The little wire-haired terrier had cancer in February, my youngest daughter's heart dog, Toby, was 15 and went into renal failure in September, and just lost my oldest dog (16 1/2) last month. It's hard when you have several oldsters.
Amber decided to play grownup and has been living with the boyfriend now for about 4 months. Seems to be a decent fellow, hard worker, served in Iraq in 2003. She turned 21 this past summer.
Maybe I'll get over here a little more often in the future.

Nothing happening but the everyday stuff. We're all pluggin along. Sounds like you're becoming an educated woman. I like smart women. I married one. My little daughter got herself knocked up and now I'm a grandad. She's 31 and went to Cancun with Joe the grinder. Brought back a souveneir. It took me six years but I finally finished the bike. Getting close on a trike. Rowdy's on the final stages of a PT Cruiser PT pickup truck. I think Waz got his wife pregnant again. Reaver's got a toddler. My old cat died. I have a little herringbone calico who's about two years old and I had to take in one that belonged to my buddy but he got too old to take care of her. Medium build shorthaired solid black female Kathy named "Tillie". She's a young adult. Had a hell of a time making them git along until we bought two of those pherimone diffuzers. I belive that's helped a lot. They don't scream at each other at 3:30 AM any more like they used to. Come back to visit when ya can.

The other night me and the old lady were pretty zonkered. I was thinking about that beautiful little first Yamaha.
She interrupted my chain of thought with her piano. I washed my mouth out and sucked my reed, We played together for several songs. More memorable to me is the fact that I sat at her piano after I had put down my sax and managed to do something I have never done before.
I sat on her piano bench and fingered a simple Folgerburg song with my right hand. My left hand followed with chords. I don't know shit about playing keyboards but I did it for a brief moment.
The cats are getting along just fine so far.
Anyway, I'll leave ya with some tits.

Muskets and pitchforks are the last straw. Our founding fathers laid out a very good plan for this country. Yes it's been corrupted. We're only human. Timothy McVey lashed out in a way he deemed justified. He was an idiot, and history will prove that. It's not yet time to take up arms. Wait and watch the vote. People will vote next year who probably haven't voted in many years. The founding fathers gave us the vote. It works. Go vote and pay attention to what you are voting for. Don't hit the button until you are sure. The real problem is the spin and the media. They have so much to do with the vote because so many people in this day and time aren't interested enough to go any deeper than the major network news. That accounts for about a third of the reason our man got elected. So it's time people who know better than to put up with this shit get off their asses and volunteer some time or talk to people or at least buy a t-shirt. The President is one problem no doubt about that, but the real problem is our congress and our senate. It's intelectually constipated. They get up there and from day one the only thing they work on is their re-election in two years. That's just wrong. Get rid of the fucking lobbiests. Pass the line item veto bill. Get the fucking illegal aliens out of here.
We'll talk about the fair tax when all that shit is done.

Gonna go down in my shop as soon as I have time and deisel fuel. I'm gonna take that brake plate apart and polish the shit out of it. I'm donating the wheel to whatever you have dreamed up in your nappy little haid. It will be cleaned and dusted off when you get it.I'm like you man. I love that series of wheels. Like I said, that wheel is the best braking wheel on a british motorcycle in the late sixty early seventy years. Twin leading shoe. Best thing available until the dual disk. OK so it's yesterday's technology, but it worked fine back then. It will work fine now. Have a sturdy neck in mind. It may be old but the chrome is pretty good on the rim. It is totally factory. I can send it to you like it is, or if you'd like I can polish the living green piss out of it. You expressed an interest, I am stoned. You have the wheel but you have to promise to post a lot of pictures of the bike it's going on. I'm gonna polish that fucker.

They insisted they couldn't insure the house until I installed central heat and air. I did. They told me I have to remove my gas heaters. I told them I did. But I really didn't. I was raised with gas stoves and I understand how to use them without killing myself. Global warming? Shit! Bring it on. I got good gas warming.
Fuck them repeatedly for long periods of time the narrow minded bastards. Bunch of numbfucks who tell me I can't continue to heat my house the way I had already ben doing it for twenty years. Oh hell yes you dumbfucks. I got rid of my heaters. Yup!

Not sure why Blackjack dislikes building trikes, unless it's because he just likes building motorcycles that much better. I'm having a lot of fun with mine. I was sitting with cold toes surfing and found a site for a place out west. The guy claims to have thirty years experience and by looking at his product I do believe that. They're all pretty good and well built and I like them with a couple of exceptions.
I like the big keg.
Notice the engine turned around after loosing the fan and it's big ugly housing. I like these things! They call it Swedish. It involves some trick transaxle modifications but if I ever build another of these things, it will be of this configuration.
This is a fiberglass body that was produced some years ago and may still be I don't know. I do know that I've always hated them. They are just stupid looking. This one's missing the bottom half of the headlight housing. It looks like the old starship enterprize. Ugly. Cut it off under the driver's butt and show the tubular frame.
This one looks pretty good..
He made a tilt-up body with gas shocks. I did exactly the same thing and then took a torch to it and cut it all off. I thought it was stupid looking and it was gonna take longer to finish.
They don't use big honkin forks. That just plain sucks. I like big heavy complicated mechanisms with lots of shit moving back and forth. That hydraulic shit is just too dammed simple.
WHy can't you lose the transaxle and just run it through a tranny and tie to a regular differential? Doesn't seem like it would be that big of an engineering project for someone
with your abilities.

I'd have to do some research about the direction of rotation. If the rotation was right, it wouldn't be a huge job to adapt an automobile tranney. Don't know if I feel like reversing the direction of an engine. Those guys have a way to do it using an empty transaxle case coupled to another transaxle. As far as coupling it to a transmission, if I was gonna figure a way to hook it to a transmission I'd figure a way to hook it to an automatic tranny. I'm getting lazy. I admire automatic transmissions in stop and go commute traffic. A volkswagen engine coupled to an automatic transmission? Surely that's been done already.
Posted on Dec 26, 2009, 7:18 PM from IP address 99.33.77.57
Choppers magazine (Chris Bunch) was building a trike using that same setup Willie just mentioned. VW motor running through an automatic trans (believe it was a Ford C4) to a conventional car rear end. Never got it built, because the motor was stolen. However, he went to great lengths to mate the trans to the motor including some heavy machine work on the VW case...enough that it wouldn't bolt to a VW transaxle when he was finished. I always wondered why he just didn't build an adapter plate instead of all the machine work?

you can split them, relieve some ribs inside the case, and build it back together with the diff flipped. Though maybe not on the IRS one?
The "Swedish" stylee thing usually uses two Vee Dub trannies, with an empty case between the motor and the actual tranny which has the diff flipped.
Flipping the diff does give you four reverse and one forward, but since the motor and tranny are facing the "wrong" way, then that's what you needed.
Most bikes (two exceptions being BMW's and Gold Wings) have the drive shaft on the left. That puts the "crown wheel" to the right of the shaft, and that's the opposite of most car stuff. When I did that V-Max, I had to flip the axle over or it would have had five reverse gears.

Not sure of the best way to explain this, but because I don't LIKE trikes, I tend to be more (OK, very...) critical of the performance of the various sub systems. So rather than thinking "Wow, we got brakes, let's go for a ride!!!" I'm more likely to be thinking, "These brakes are shit, what do they need to improve them???", and altering whatever needs altering. Assuming it needed altering...
I think my "build philosophy" could be expressed as "The best way to solve a problem, is not to design it in in the first place".

Lets take control and vote all the trash out and put some new real people in, get-r-done! Let them feel the rule of law! God Bless You My Brothers and Sisters

We're all pretty like minded here and we couldn't agree more with you. I'm wearing my new T-shirt right now which reads "You Can't Fix Stupid But You Can Vote It Out!" Just about everyone I talk to agrees 100%. I doubt you'll see them all gone but the next few election cycles are going to be interesting for sure. Hope everyone in your world had a good Christmas and everyone's doing well. Thanks for posting and come back often.

I hope your feet are healthy and when you go to bed you sleep solidly. Today is the first day in four weeks that I had off, and I enjoyed it. Big exhale...... I've been loosing my sanity lately because I have gotten so dammed busy. Went from nothing to do to way too much to do.
Why can't things be simple?

Everyone had good suggestions but none of them could be done against the deadline. Waz suggested the one that really struck me the most. Way to go Wazzoo. I took your advice and customized to fit my situation better. He reads a whole lot so I gave him my book. It should provide us hours of shit to talk about. The flashlight? His is an old taped together piece of shit. This one is the latest greatest Maglight LED flashlight. I saw it in the store and a little voice in my head said "Perfect!". A good flashlight and a good read. Perfect!

good, I heard that on the radio, so thought it proper
make sure to tell him when the bulb burns out on the maglite, and when replacing with the new one, to use cotton gloves or tissue paper, oil from your fingers will burn the bulb out quicker, although I know ya know that
I still need to send you that book on the early days of death valley

I'm telling him he means something to me the best way I can. I told him I love him only one time. When I was coming out of a two week coma. I couldn't see yet but I could hear and speak but I was in limbo land trying to claw my way back to an earthly existance. That's the only time. I regret that but how do you reverse fifty years of status quo?
I'm making a roast and mashed potatos and Kathy made his favorite, sweet potato cassarole with toasted marshmellows.
I know about death valley. A soap company made a black and white series on it.
I think everyone should wash at least every other day. Otherwise we will begin to stink in less than twenty hours.
Kathy is leaving but I will stay here and continue cooking. A good roast beef needs to be watched. I took what my mother taught me and adapted it to a slow cooker for many hours. When my roast beef is done it's smothered in a natural gravy and only one bite will leave a lifelong memory. My Mom usta get up early on Sunday mornings to have it ready by lunch. I can still hear her calling "Yall come on!"

hell i know its new, just saying when it burns out,
anyway thought ya wanted to read all about death valley and the border wars, smuggling dope in from mexico in a ol C47, about using marine radios and referencing coastal cities to throw off the man, getting shot at by the guy we were delivering to, (but after he found out about the airplane he apologized for shooting at us, no big deal as he only had a walther 380 and he was about a 1/4 mile away, plus he only had one eye, but up close he was deadly with that little auto)
but back to the book, ol panament bob was a pilot during the korean war and flew for the Navy out of Japan during that war, anyway he landed the plane in a cross wind (bob mentioned that there was no sock, I dint know what he meant by no sock, as I had my own socks, maybe he had a wooden leg and only needed a "sock") anyway as we landed the plane hit a crosswind and we dipped to the right and tore about 20 feet of the wing off, we had to hoof it across the desert for 3 days to avoid being found by the san bernardino county sheriff, after "finding" some dirt bikes and riding into downtown needles cal to rent a truck we went back and loaded up our score, Ill tell ya one thing, 1967 wasnt a fun year for panament bob and myself, thats how we met up with mother maria, she was living in a old miners cabin near el paso wash in the el paso mountain range near the other goler canyon (there are 2 of em ya know), we were runnin and a gunnin from fremont dry lake when we met up with her, she was around 23 years old or so and panament bob fell for her hard, thats how I ended up with the panhead, seems ol panament bob wanted my chebby 4wd so we traded straight up, they got married about 10 years later, about a week after being married, mother maria had enough of panament bob and went back to live near her uncles silver mine near trona, but she did let panament bob live with her, she just didnt want to be married, so i performed a mexican divorce and they lived together for many many years until panament bob got drunk and fell into dantes inferno and broke his pecker, mother maria was a nymphomaniac and she would fuck the prickly pears off a cactus she was that horny, I think thats where seldom seen slobby thought she was skinny dipping up in anvil canyon when them durned german touristas got lost and got themselves dead,
I found out later that them tourists had kids with em, why in the hell would they want to see some old nekkid hippie chicks anyway
so hell, ya dont know half the true story of death valley, hell why read the book, i ve been telling most of it here

This old house is leaky and drafty. In weather like this I can either let the heater run nonstop or turn down the thermostat and use back up heat. Two burners on the stove, the bedroom heater and bathroom heater running full out. I've had them on for about an hour and they're catching up nicely. That electric fireplace thing has a heater inside but it's just a bad joke that's expensive to run. I gotta get up at 04:00 because I gotta go to work. I like old naked hippie chicks. There was one in the bedroom this morning while I was checking my email. I didn't get to work in my shop. Just too cold. I'm smoking some pretty good pot and thinking about Death Valley. I'm an old hippie and I don't know what to do. Should I hang on to the old times or grab on to the new?

although more snow and rain forecasted for this weekend, went for a ride on the harley, met up with brushy bill robert and his jenny mule, he was crossing the road with a christmas tree he prolly chopped down from the indian ranch just north of ballarat in panament valley, he said he got his flathead 80 running and he wants to go riding, but i doubt he will, he has gold and silver fever so bad he forgets to eat, and as I left ol brushy broke out in song he liked from the butthole surfers:
Marky got with Sharon
And Sharon got Cherese
She was sharing Sharon's outlook
On the topic of disease
Mikey had a facial scar
And Bobby was a racist
They were all in love with dyin'
They were doing it in Texas
Tommy played piano
Like a kid out in the rain
Then he lost his leg in Dallas
He was dancing with a train
They were all in love with dyin'
They were drinking from a fountain
That was pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
I don't mind the sun sometimes
The images it shows
I can taste you on my lips
And smell you in my clothes
Cinnamon and sugary
And softly spoken lies
You never know just how you look
Through other people's eyes
Some will die in hot pursuit
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
Another Mikey took a knife
While arguing in traffic
Flipper died a natural death
He caught a nasty virus
Then there was the ever-present
Football player rapist
They were all in love with dyin'
They were doing it in Texas
Pauly caught a bullet
But it only hit his leg
Well it should have been a better shot
He got him in the head
They were all in love with dyin'
Brushy sure can sing, although I suspect he had some tutoring with a bottle of Scotch Whiskey, I flipped him the finger and he flipped me back, FTW, I sure wish ol brushy would get the flathead running, but I know gold fever will kepp his eyes glued for color
well got to go down to the mission and help feed the Indians, todays menu is indian tacos and some type of flatbread and some trout that Jonny Little Tree got out of the owens river, most likely he and his cousin snuck into the fish hatchery at black rock and took some brood trout, oh well who cares its Christmas ya know

Mook
A term coined by Douglas Rushkoff in an episode of PBS's "Frontline" entitled "The Merchants of Cool." Mooks are archetypal young males(teens-early 20s) who act like moronic boneheads. They are self centered simpletons who live a drunken frat-boy lifestyle(or are frat-boys). Examples can be found anytime someone watches "Jackass." Rushkoff claimed that the media glorifies this ideal and stifles natural self expression, however, some people might argue teenage boys have always acted like morons(its actually a long-standing stereotype). Nonetheless, standardized conformist dumbass-culture behind a veneer of exhuberance is a scary notion indeed.

I like a lot the work these guys have put into their product. Not crazy about all their stuff but I do admire the quality of work. They build a good frame and the complete rear suspension. I'd never want to own one of theirs but I would consider copying some of their ideas. I like the frame.
It's funny, they put the battery the same place I did and I'm starting to regret putting it there. Their shifter is nice but complicated. It has long cables that streach around into a big circle. Looks like lot's of room for unwanted feedback and slop in the linkage. I like my approach better. It's purely rigid steel on rigid steel. Oh hell theirs could be fine.
It's very pretty.
A dammed nice trike.

I guess it's cause I didn't have anything to do with it. I suppose it's the reason they have such a robust wheelie bar. I'd much rather my front tire to remain planted firmly in control. It is a good looking front though. Needs more weight and remove the wheelie bar.

Although I did admire the form, I noticed exactly what you mentioned. A hinge made of what I would call light metal. Two hinge points made of about 3/16" steel flat swinging on a 3/8-1/2 inch bolt. The bolt is fine, it's the fact that it bears the load through two thin pieces of steel that would have me watching it closely. Other than that, I like how they replaced the factory swingarms with a fairly nice looking fabricated ones. It does makes me think of hanging a big barn door with $2.50 hardware store hinges though.

Ever wished you didn't know as much about the neighbors as you did? The house next door is yet again split apart by divorce. Don't know what it is about that house. I've had several familys, a hippy commune, a whorehouse and soon a whole bunch of new people because the present people should have never gotten married in the first place. I think that soon I will cook a roast to die for. And not worry about it any more.
I'm in charge of the christmas roast. Good butt roast cooked all night in gravy. Umm.
I do feel badly about that broken family next door. Not a dammed thing I can do. Sorry shit people! Sorry.
I'm slow cooking a Christmas roast beef like my mom did it. Kathy is gonna make sweet potater pie. Gonna take rolls....Umm....

OK.. finally, 1st coat of the single stage urathane is on the cab fwd half.
Im gonna need to color sand it.
Ive heard you "cant" but in reading on it, it was because it "dulls the gloss" when you wet sand it/rub it out. Thing is, this aint gloss to begin with, so im good there.
I have dust bumps to knock down. No cat hair this time tho.
I wanna cut it down with 1500 then 2000. This be OK?

Good to hear you're making progress. I think you and I are real close in the major project finishing department . I've got a mountain of shit in my head I haven't even begun. I know you're in the same boat. My project can't even support itself . I have to get the thing supporting itself on the front springer and then figure a way to get some tubing bent for handlebars. These are some swept back fukers. Should I get stoopid or keep it simple? I'm thinking I'm gonna make two mirror image halves, and glue them together in the middle. I'm even thinking of a slightly upward arched set of bars with the grip area being about 28 inches apart about level with my shoulders, angled down about thirty degrees. Swept back about five degrees each. Handlebars get more complicated when they are on trikes. The angles and the distances get way more egzadurated and I reach the limit of me being able to spell simple english words. Some guys make swivles and belcranks and motorcycle handlebars. Guys, that just looks stupid. Don't ever attempt that. I'm not saying that my springer is God's gift to chopperdom. It was an experiment and I'm still working on it. It will look cool and function well in the future. Homade motorcycles and such are always being changed by their owner's mood. My problem is that I don't use some kinda CAD software but instead just build it and then decide I don't like it. Then start over. Three times. Do you even realize how much time and money is lost?
I still have plenty of pot.

How can I follow that? I gave him a miniture steam engine about eight years ago. That was good. It's getting down to the nut cutting and I have to do something. Don't know what to get Dad this year. What dumbass said Christmas takes a long time to get here?

I think this is the final chapter for a while. I hope Hank and Barb are having good luck with it. I am very happy with mine. I paid around $25 for it and it plugs into my USB port in the back and just sits there. The blue LED lights up when everything is up and running. I leave my computer running anyway so I always have phone service even if the computer is in sleep mode. It's software has a good call log you can click a number and it dials. It works like and sounds like a phone from ten years ago would. Even if the company folds in two or three years I will have been using the thing for a second line for now. maybe the only line later on. I bought a super cheap corded phone to use with it. I used the USB extender cord that comes with the unit. I can see when the blue LED is on telling me all is working.
The cheap phone just plugs into it for now. I'm gonna use it some.
And then hell if it keeps working like this I may make it my only phone line.

We were sitting in three feet of water with our backs against the river bank. "Oh what a big fish." she said and I looked. Nothing like the one in the pic but it was four feet long and four feet away from my pecker. I whooshed it away with my foot and watched for it.
I catched a lotta two and three footers when I was a kid. Hang a lantern off the barge at about a foot off the water. In a slew on a local lake. I had a two foot music wire leader and a big treble hook with a medium sized perch hooked alive and kicking. Big bobber two foot above the hook. They are bright silver on the sides and you could see them cruising about a foot or two under the surface with the lantern. I'd cast right in front of him. If everything went just right he'd get my distressed perch plopped down in front of him. Like I said, the biggest one I ever caught was four feet and about 10-15 pounds. That thing has to go a hundred. Sam Rayburn is in that southeast part of the state that's pine tree jungly as hell. Swampy, but Rayburn is a sizable lake. I wonder if they had that thing mounted. I would have.

welding trailer house frames for a bunch of damn yankee carpetbaggers. Got fed up with the shit and joined the Navy.
About the time I really started enjoying things in the Navy, they decided to take second place in the SE Asia war games and pulled out and the ARVN's get the shit stomped out of 'em. The peacetime Navy was too chickenshit for my tastes and I bailed out when given the chance.

Wondering through life without a care in the world
by Apehanger Hank (no login)
Had really long hair and a Fu Man Chu mustache and a skinny ass, was going to college, girls were plentiful and readily available. Both pair of blue jeans were heavily patched and I had one pair of boots. Riding around on my old 47 knuck, with a 47 chief in reserve. Worked several jobs around school, including but not limited to a pretty steady gig at the local Honda shop, a less steady and very uncertain gig at the only chopper shop in town, a very good night gig at the chrome plating place (handy if you are building bikes) and a low paying but interesting gig as a contributing editor with "Choppers" magazine. Rented a room in a hippy flop house known only as The Grey House (it was grey) and sublet my closet out to another guy (big old house with big old closets). Had a friend that lived in little one room house (400 sq feet or less), all he had was a water bed and a 46 knuck. The guy who owned it sold the land to some company for a buiness location. My bud didn't want to move, so he tried to buy it note: banks did not readily loan money to long hairs especially when their only assets are a water bed and an old motorcycle. The new land owners didn't want the house and gave it to my friend. He rented a space in a backyard down the street, but needed to move the house so we got 20 guys (12 only count because the rest were stoned), picked up the house and "moved" it. Had another friend, Dwight, the best mechanic I ever met, lived in an old school bus behind his shop. Got in trouble for taking showers with a garden hose...naked and had to go to court. He had lived all over Europe and attended the Mercedes, VW and Porsche factory mechanics courses. The next year I got drafted...how the hell did that happen!

9N 1939 thru 1941 were painted dark grey (battleship grey) from factory.
2N 1942 thru 1947 Were also dark grey.
8N late 1947 thru 1952 were red belly with light grey fenders and hood.
I have saw 9N and 2N painted like an 8N and even all three painted a later Ford blue. My wheel centers were painted red by the previous owner, but someday I plan to do an original all dark grey paint job, just like it originally came with.
These old tractors are not very expensive and anyone that owns one should paint it any color they like.... except green and yellow... that would be just plain obsene.
Thanks for sharing the pics!!!

Got a nice tax exempt check for Christmas and am on the gov't tit till I die or they run out of money (at the rate things are going, that seems to be the most likely scenario in my mind.) Get hearing aids and enough each month to make a small car payment. too.

Though I found out the shredded some of my medical records... absolutely no accounting for a couple of accidents that contributed to my neck and upper back issues that they claim 'no service connection'. I even remember the corpsman (IDC) that treated me both times, Chief Church...oh well.
My exam turned up some other things, and the doc is maybe going to change the cause of the pain, dunno if that'll increase it or decrease it. All I know is it's a little bitty check, and they won't even pay for a new cane or give me a gimp plate for my car. (seeing a new doc about that one) We're homestead exempted, so the vet part doesn't get me any more on my taxes, though it gets me a 10% tuition discount.

Chances are you have more then 20% and the VA knows it. If they can get you to accept and go off happy, it'll tickle them shitless. If you belong to the VFW or American Legion they have reps that will assist.

that is in a wheel chair. He has no love for the VA or their tactics and does everything he can to help.
I really don't have anything else to complain about that I can blame on anything that happened while I was in the Navy and was pretty surprised to get what I did.

FINALLY dried out enough up here to where I'm not skeered of falling through to China if I pull off the pavement. It was so damned wet until about two week ago that when dumb asses would hit my guardrails, it would pop the posts out of the ground. They wouldn't break.
We set 'em 36 to 40 inches and tamp 'em in. I was making the crews haul dry base to fill in around the posts on repairs just so the SOB's would stay put until we drove off. They hated it.

I have two cats who don't do well together. Cats are just plain hard to get rid of. I got the second cat just because my friend couldn't take care of her any more. Cooter doesn't like her and she don't trust Cooter. I tried pheromones. There is a product available that plugs into the wall that produces either cat pheromones or dog pheromones that have a calming effect. I got two of the cat calming plug-ins. They haven't tried to kill each other since we plugged them in so it has to be helping. Cats not getting along makes for a less than perfect household. These things seem to be helping.

make a negative pressure tent using 4mil poly sheeting ( get the largest width roll possible, so you dont have to many seams to seal) use a large heavy duty vacuum cleaner, duct tape the sheeting to the floor, you should be use pvc pipe for supports, make 2 entry ways, turn on the vacuum cleaner and epoxy away, not a cure all but will eliminate a lot of headache
if not, just shoot the cats or sell em to foonyai's chinese emporium and opium den

wouldn't it work better to have positive pressure in the tent? Air leaks to outside would help get rid of the farts too.

You can use A/C filters on each end (make a rack for them to slide into and seal it with tape. Put filters behind and in front of the exhaust fan (a vacuum cleaner would be a major explosion hazard, plus it would clog up really fast). You can use a whole house fan or a small square window fan, pulling air through the "booth" from one end to the other. The A/C filters aren't perfect, but they will eliminate cat hairs unless you bring them in on your clothes...... 90% of dust and dirt in a spray booth is on the vehicle or the painter, if the booth is properly maintained.
Wear a painter's suit. You can get them at Homey Depot...... Wet the floor down, then wait for it to semi-dry before painting. Try to NOT move stuff around that would stir up dust for a few hours before spraying.
Also, old wive's tale that actually works..... Wrap a length of chain around one axle and let it hit the floor. This will drain off any static electricity that may build up in the vehicle. Touch the vehicle while holding the spray gun, before starting to paint, to drain off any static you may have built up. It won't be enough static to spark a fire, but it will be enough to attract dust..... They also make anti-static wipes if you want to go the whole Monk way.....
One more tip, if your fan is old and sparks alot when it runs, get a new one........ I have never seen a fan start a shop fire, but I have heard of it happening. In fact, in over 30 years of doing paint work, I have NEVER seen a fire start in a spray booth. I have seen several start outside the booth, however........

was booked at the VFW in Navasota, TX back in the 60's. NOBODY knew he was black. He drove from Dallas to that bumfuck, KKK infested backwoods hole to play. When he showed up, they were aghast! They paid him and told him to "GIT YOUR NIGGER ASS BACK TO DALLAS!"
I two stepped many a mile in that place with a little raven haired temptress of a girl with Czech origins in the mid 70's.
Fast forward 20 years. Charlie is now on the downside of his career. The VFW in Navasota tries to book him. His reply? "No way in HELL!!" They deserved it.
He is a true gentleman.

They would broadcast country music shows Saturday nights on two stations. Grand Old Oprey and several others. I remember Cowboy Weaver and Bill Anderson. I do remember all that old shit. Can't say it's my all time favorite but I do kinda like it. Remember Earnie Ford on the Lucy show?

Got my release from active duty and a fellow Texan and I drove non stop from Jacksonville, FL to Navasota, TX. Upon crossing the Texas border, we stopped at the first joint that sold beer and bought a case of Lone Star ( horse piss ) longnecks and my buddy, Phillip, dug around in his stash of 8 tracks. He pulled out this and pugged it in. We were quite well toasted when we arrived at his house aobut three hours later.

Looks like he did a helova job too. He cut the thing up and retained one back door. I do like it, but why did he close off the back glass? Seems like it would limit a lot of visibility. I like trikes. Always have since I saw my first one in the sixties. Can't lay one over unless you're dammed good or dammed unlucky. An engine that was designed to push a ton of vehicle pushing out only half that much. Good power to weight ratio. Plus let's face it, they're just unusual. I think that's what I like the most about them. There probably aren't any others on your block and if their are, they were probably both built by the same guy. My main reason for starting the dammed thing to begin with was an excuse. Now Rowdy's got cat hairs in his paint and I have run outta time. I was supposed to be off all weekend but they called me in today and I have to do ten hours tomorrow. Wonder if I'll ever finish the dammed thing?

A guy sat down at the bar and ordered a beer.
The bartender filled his mug and slid it down the bar.
While sliding down the bar, the mug hit a blond woman's boobs and splashed all over them...
The bartender went over, retrieved the mug and licked the beer off her boobs.
Each time the guy called for another beer this happened.
After his third beer, the guy decided to help the bartender out.
The next time the bartender hit her boobs, the man jumped up and started to lick them...
She decked him!
He was laying on the floor moaning, 'Jeez lady... Why'd you let the bartender lick your boobs, but not me?'
'Duh,' said the blonde, 'He has a licker license!'

2001 I was at the britbike ralley. It was cloudy and rainy. I had been reintroduced to motorcycles for about a year at that point. Not totally confident. There was an old grey haired and grey bearded fucker down there with an Indian Chief. I said something like "Man that thing is cool!" and he replied with something like "No it's an old piece of shit!".
Next morning was the group ride. My front fender was missing. It was threatening misting rain. We Started out and me and Kathy ended up beside the guy on the indian. I was wearing my sun glasses, no rain yet. We rode for about twenty miles down some nice roads and I admired that dammed indian beside me. He kept up with the pack and I was diggin it. Then the rain started. I couldn't see. The front tire on the Thunderbolt was like a shower head. I couldn't see shit and the pack was riding too fast for me. I had to leave the pack and turn back. On the way back it stopped raining and our clothes dried out and we enjoyed the ride. I have never liked riding with more than two other motorcycles since.
But watching that guy shift and throttle that old thing beside me was very cool. I've always liked indians but it was the first time I rode beside one. Yours is a rare jewel. Enjoy the hell outta it! Any more pics?

I had one that looked like this (web find, not the actual motor)
[IMG][/IMG]
It was a little newer than that one. I gutted it like a fish...
The ony work I hired done was truing the wheels at a local HD shop (Ballance's HD in Battle Creek, MI)... an old wooden floored dirty HD shop (remember them?)
The rest of the work was completed in an unheated, poorly lit hog barn at Michigan Live Stock Exchange in Battle Creek in the old stock yard on Emmet St.
I need to find my old manager and thank him for letting me do that after hours there...

I like the easy way out. A unitized power plant gets you on the road way quicker if it's a frame-up build. I'm thinking about a belt driven unit BSA with a dry clutch. Bearings need to be inside the same assembly between the torque production and the torque transmission stages. Cast aluminum works well in this instance.
