OT - What are you doing right now?

@Sea2Ski  Is your dad letting you do any of the work yet?  Or when you say I, is that like a royal I.

My buddy called me up and he said that he wanted to finish the aluminum fabrication on my steam punk bike project that's been sitting in his shop languishing for about a year...he was sick of looking at it. So I went over there and met him and we discussed what could be done in 2 days. Anyway I'm going to get it back in a few days, move it over to the warehouse and get back to work on it

@blasting   No, this part is all me.  He does not like the detail work.  Anything detail oriented or tedious and he Is harder to find than a four leaf clover. He shows back up when it is done.

@nolaegghead   Great project.  I like the suspended springer seat with the pivot in front of the tank - very cool design.

Just sold my gasser.  Buh Bye my neglected friend.

$165 for a 15 year old grill with heavy mileage - that's halfway to a cajun fryer.  Getting a fryer is the responsible thing to do, otherwise all my propane tanks might rust shut.

$165!!!!  You robbed someone.

Na.  That included new stainless grates, a full tank of propane, and I delivered it.

Thanks - I thought of that myself.  Not to say it's never been done before but I haven't seen it.  There's a lot of work to go before I disassemble and start painting.

My buddy did the metal fabrication on the two bikes they made (one a backup) for some series I've yet to see called "into the badlands". 

He started on my bike, then did the work on the set bikes and now back on mine.  I don't have the budget these guys have.  Actually my budget is about 4K all said and done.  And that's with me doing a lot of the work.

@nolaegghead very very nice metal working skills there.

This friend is a savant with metal.   His name is Bryan Mavor.  I also have some kinetic art he did.

This bike reminds me somewhat newer Excelsior-Henderson. Cool!

Just ordered the protein for my baby brother's 40th. Going gold baby.

@WeberWho Looks like that's *obviously* the bike they started with!

Fellows it looks like I may eating shrimp for the next few days. Went out with brother Noel and caught a cats whisker over 2,500 pounds the first drag. 

End of day total was 5,890 pounds. Not to bad.  

Sweet haul! Fresh shrimp is one of my very favorites. A little butter, a little garlic, a little more garlic... It's a winner every time..

Picked up one of these suckers on craigslist this evening for $200.  SCORE!  (you won't appreciate this unless you do a lot of woodwork)....

Wow! I wouldn't be able to get to the seller fast enough. Sweet score, for sure! Do you have any projects in mind yet to run through it?

Looks pretty cool as is. Is that aluminum? I wouldn't paint it, it has more attitude like it is. Plus save $$ on materials and your time.

My dad's friend has one. Wish they would have stuck around a little longer. Hopefully the Indian stays around this go around. Nice to see an American motorcycle company try to compete against Harley. (A Minnesota company - Polaris)

I'm on a tear tonight. Finally ordered the AR I've been wanting. Wallet is crying.

If I may ask, which AR?
AR- Automatic rifle
AR- Adjustable rig.
AR- Anal ring. 
I'm hoping it's not option #3

@sgh should have said CGS AR. Adjustable rig. Got a big cook coming up for my little brothers b day. Been wanting one anyway. Tired of messing with the fire bricks.

He is a little B.  

I've debated an AR too.  That slide rack looks snazzy.  I cook many things at once, so it could make my life easier.  

I also need a indirect means for my medium too.  I've been using fire bricks and the stone from the Joe Jr.  I call it my white trash set up, but it works. 

NorthPilot06

Just get it, fellas.  I got an AR when I needed to make bacon and haven't done a single cook without it since.

One of those times where you think....how did I work without this before?

Having a Grapefruit juice (fresh squeezed) and waiting for the right time to add Tito's. It's game-day for some of us who kick off the college football season. Good or bad.....tee the d@mn thing up and lets play.
