Im good. Changed shifts at work and now work the 100 to 1100 pm shift. Counting the days till we head to Florida for a couple of weeks soaking up the sun. Unfortunaly bikeless while there. This 0 degrees Colorado weather is also bumming me out.

Gots the "back to the grind stone blues". That, plus I'm tired of all the rain/snow/cold. Seems as though when it's warm enough to ride, it's pouring down rain!!! Looking forward to Maggie Valley, with great friends, and good riding :biker:

Back to work, kids back to school and new years deprssion is setting in. 8 degrees this morning and only 18 now. Oh well at least the bike has new chrome on the way so that will keep me busy for a weekend. Hope to see you at the INDY show.

......back to work, turned cold yesterday, and like Michael P. - waiting on Spring. Got a little riding in during the holidays, but not enough to satisfy the needed grin..........

Lots of swearing, taking of the wrong parts, putting them back on, taking them off again, then putting them back on. Actually it was pretty easy when you figure out how they actually put the bike :cry: together. The biggest difference so far is I only have to screw with one carborator instead of 6. Then there's the parts that get lost somewhere in the engine cavities. Anyway the ones I can't find I figure I don't need anyway. besides they'll fall out sometime...
I'm taking the carb over to S&E and he's going to bore it out from 36 to 40mm. Like is should have been done in the first place. I should be able to get it back by Friday. This guy has just about every tool I ever wanted.
It is depressing here, it's 12 with a wind chill of -8 :shock:

I've just been lurking around watching everyone else. I'm fine; bike(s) are fine. ghost is okay. I've kind of been wondering what Hawk has been up to. I think maybe in West Virginia in the winter they just kind of live off the land.

Busy with the holidays, work (of course), and hacking up the manuscript for my next book (think I need to get out the Katana for that).

BTW LaMonster, thanks for the plug for "Neighborhood Hazard" on BBR! :D

Hey I am here, been working day and night (literally) on the garage and the house. :roll: Got tired of it all looking the way it did. So I tore the whole place up, :a13: rearranging everything and finishing each area the way I want it. If it isn't the way I want it, then it doesn't get put back until it is right. Guess you would have to see it all to understand that. Since there is no woman in my life, it will be my luck once I get it all done, then one will show up, :wink: if she does, I am not rearranging it again. :bow1: Please remind me of these words if the later happens. :D

Plus Ragnar sent me a few emails before Christmas and I am still gathering information for my theisis to him. :hun1: Hope I get my degree? I am afraid of what it will be in though. :pepper1: As for living off the land? :o We normally do, hunting season is a time to fill the freezers. 8) I went a bought a brand new (expensive) bow, and a modern muzzleloader (plus some other goodies) just so I could enjoy Hunting season while I am unemployed :eat1: Now in West Virginia, with all your proper tags and such you can take up to nine deer during season. (Legally) then there is Grouse, Geese, and Turkey. :chicken: (chicken if you don't get caught) :a13: Between being sick and I have no clue what else, :rain1: I only hunted 2 1/2 days this year. :( :mad1: This is the first year in a while I haven't bagged a deer everytime I went out. :oops: There were times before I didn't even go out "hunting" to bag a deer. I just walked out of the house and shot one. :lol: Well that should make Ragnar happy. :a13:


This should sound familar Lamont. :D I have been working hard on getting the "old" section of the garage (20X30) set up and finished so I could put the big Bad Dodge in there, :drive1: and I would have the "new" section, (24X36) for the Bikes and fun stuff. :biker: The other night around 2 a.m. I was sitting in the old section, looking in at the new section where the Dodge is now. :22yikes: Suddenly it hit me (like a ton of bricks) :banghead: "that truck won't fit in here? So I got the tape measure out, started measuring the doors. :cus: I have no clue how this happened but the old section door is 7 ft tall, and the new section doors are 8 ft. :mad1: The Dodge stands 7 ft 6 in. FIGURES :roll: so now I am changing everything around so I can put the bikes in the old section, the Dodge in the far side of the new, and all the fun stuff in between. Actually I think it is going to be better this way, just wish I would have seen it a few months ago. Oh Well Dang somehow I need to find time to get a job. :duck: Maybe I will move south once it is all finished. :clap2:

Geeze, Hawk, you don't do anything on a small scale, do you? Monster truck, monster garage, monster deer...what's next? I know, monster woman :) . I became exhausted just reading your post. Regarding the woman, I have an idea. Hang out a deer pelt as bait; that sends the message, "Hunter, provider, lives here." They'll flock.

BTW, my 96" upgrade is done on the Electraglide. It runs great (I think). I've only gotten to test it in the rain. New pistons, valves, cams, to name only a few things. I'd go on, but then this post wouldn't qualify to be on the general board. If it ever warms up, I may ask Vicki to ride it to see what it will really do :wink: It's no blown Valk, but it is fun.

Ragnar

P.S. Do deers have pelts?

Thanks for checking in. Sounds like a lot of folks have been sick :( and most of us are just too darn busy :roll:

It's still good to hear what all my friends have been up to. Hope we can put some miles on together soon.
