A Month to Remember??

We'll see... the jury's still out on that one...

It's been a month of hellos, goodbyes, and "what the fuck"s...

All-in-all, pretty balanced. I got some good... continued some bad... dropped some baggage... picked up some new shit and made it out unscathed for the most part.

Probably just jinxed it, seeing as how I still have a few more to go before Feb gets its claws outta me! Bring it on!

Fuck this Noise...

I have been staring at the damn frame on my Sporty now for over 3 months wondering what the fuck was wrong with it... something just didn't work no matter how hard I tried. Well, sometimes my impatient / impulsive side takes over and the phrase "fuck it!" booms out across the land... Cut the neck off the stock frame and am going to start from scratch and get the dimensions the way I need em to be. Set back? Maybe... Progress? Definitely!

No digs against the Paughco shit, but it is what it is and if that works for you then do it. For me, it was a good way to get all the shit together to the point where I could really size up the whole deal, so I'm not complaining... at least not until the frame sits around gathering dust and I remember that it cost real money... eh... whatever... next project! Someone has to have an EVO they need rigid right? Ha!

Also got a new computer at the house and will be migrating all the long lost photo goodness over to it and that will give me a ton of shit to post up here... mostly my shots of bands you love to hate and motorized vehicles that get my juices going or make me laugh...

Out...

That crazy thing called life...

I keep saying I'll get to posting all the cool shit that's been going on in the garage... but... well... you know... nothing's been going on. Don't think everyone wants pics of me changing oil on the truck or cleaning my shit up, and to be honest, that's about all I've gotten around to lately. Ha! Yeah, life in general just piles up sometimes and I've got enough crap for a truckload of excuses to not do a damn thing on the cars or bikes. 

That said, once I get back in the swing of things, I'm gonna be busy for years! I got the pan motor mocked up and am hopefully going to be getting the heads out for cleaning up and then dive in to see what other damage I can cause. Planning on turning the Buick a different color this year... either that or just redoing the white... haven't figured that out yet. Keeping the 57 PU for now. Plan is to go through the motor again and make it more of a daily driver (get rid of solid lifters / new cam, etc.) and get some decent paint on it along with a new set of rubber / wheels. Maybe it can be my daily and I'll unload the 05 PU? Who knows. Life is changing day by day for me and I'll be damned if I have a clue what tomorrow brings!

Hope everyone out there is juggling their shit as well as possible! Stay in touch... I swear I'm not dead... even though the lack of phone calls and outings may make it seem like it...
