I noticed the head pipe was cracked at the crossover Y when changing the tire. So I had to remove the entire exhaust system, weld the pipe and put it all back on.

That sucked.

Then an oil change.

And here's what I did for the car.

I think we fit in a house full of company and a confirmation ceremony for the oldest boy and a meal afterwards at out house here....

Also there was some planting of plants... and the plasma cutter turned an old mailbox into a flower planter at one point...

and I think I fixed some other stuff, welded a broken dog kennel....

Yeah, there was "stuff"

I have pain now, from wraslin tires and pipes and plumbing...

why does it take all weekend to do what we used to could do by noon on saturday ?

I blame it on lack of drinking, lol.

Just kidding.

WOW! Looka dat sumbitch!

You seem to have *too many* toys. Lemme hep ya!

Now, dammit, Randy! I done told ya, I'm on the way! When Dave picks me up I'll text you. We'll have a division of duties - Dave'll drive and I'll drink his beer!

Hey. Sorry I missed you last week bud, but it was a bit of in and out..........of town!

I'll try and connect again in Aug.

Gee Dave, what did you do in your spare time?

I'm thinking about fixing up an old Plymouth if I do get any spare time.

of course the Y pipe cracked! Its a Harley! Shake rattle and sometimes roll.

I have a big leak in my compressor ( now down in the house basement , near the loadin bench.
Sounds like the drain valve leakin, but I need to lie it down to address it.
Always something!

My twin cam HD is the non counterbalanced version... so that sumbich really shakes, very violently.

I don't know how the exhaust system couldn't break after 35k miles.

Very nice Dave! Keep the pictures coming!

Happy Memorial Day!

Bob

We will put the doors back on the car today, finish final prep on the exterior and finally paint the damn car.

Uh...you missed a spot.







Looks great!

Hey Wade! When are you heading for Canadia for pike?

I could take 3 years to accomplish what you have in your spare time, only difference would be mine would still look like chit!
