    Building a new home for the bikes.

    A picture of the chia pet persona would be good . My place was a rebuild. It was pretty bad when I bought it. Good luck. The fun part for me was no constraints, I could do whatever or however I wanted.

    Building a new home for the bikes.

    There's the closed to finish product. Just have one narrow strip to install and trim it out. Glad this one is done. Real happy with the way it turned out, not rocket science after all. There's a pic of the sheets, 14' x 3', they make a great sail, glad there was only a light breeze that day...

    Building a new home for the bikes.

    Here's what I did on my place which is similar except I'm living in mine:). Mine is 24' x 24'. I wired it for 20 amp circuits and glad I did. I also numbered the outlets so I knew which circuits I was using so I wouldn't trip the breakers. I use 4 electric floor heaters, all different...

    What you did to your Tenere today??!!

    I am old fashioned pencil style air gauge from way back. I am not a fan of electronics. I have 5 or 6 pencil gauges, low pressure, high pressure, large truck gauges. I was a little disappointed in the discrepancy between them when checking the tires on the Tenere. Project farm did a test on...

    Where are folks sourcing steering bearing nut wrench from?

    Haven't mess with the Tenere but I did adjust the DR650. Put the bike on the centerstand and the handlebar would fall to one side or the other because of gravity. When I was adjusting it I used this as the indicator of proper torque on the bearings. Too much and they wouldn't fall. Then when...

    Bought a Suzuki DR 650

    Another good thing about black snakes, they will eat other snakes:)

    Bought a Suzuki DR 650

    We had a gentlemans agreement. I would relocate the snake without harm, it wouldn't tell anyone I screamed like a little girl when I saw it.

    Bought a Suzuki DR 650

    Went out to the shop while ago and there was a big black snake sitting on the DR. Had to relocate it being they are A #1 mouser. But first had to put gloves on. Grabbed it about 3/4 of the way back and it wrapped its tail around my hand. But I persevered.

    I'll add this for the metal heads who decide to build. I was asking the guy at the lumber yard about pulling the metal out and how to avoid peeling the paint off when put in the bins and taken out. He said, the way the metal is cut, one end has the burr up, the other down. So you put the burr...

    Think that is the 40 yr guarantee paint job from Menards that they carry in store, white.

    My new metal roof. Almost halfway done. Thing is, not to get in a hurry. See the before and after, definitely got the moneys worth out of the old one. Standing water between the layers but nothing got to the ceiling inside. What a deal.
