Keep these two in your heart please.
1. I'm still hoping to make the Congregation Show on the 13th, if I don't then the time ain't right. It was always gonna be tight. All I can do is continue to work and according to the weather forecast, one day will have the right mix off temperatures and humidity to apply a gloss clearcoat over the current satin on my gas and oil tanks. Last year, I used Satin clear and although it protected the sticker bomb, it didn't "POP" like I wanted it to. I still have a lot of work to do.
2. I'm in a lot of pain.
The Hillbilly Way.
Hillbilly Engineering (Injuneern')
I was taught from a young age certain principles.
1. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
2. When a thing is no longer in use, don't throw it away. Store it, at a later date the thing or it parts can be repurposed for another use.
Example, in our old place my son's bedroom was the original master br. I made him a toilet roll stand to use and when he outgrew it, I repurposed it as a fan stand. When we cleared out the old joint, I stored it outside. It was made of pressure treated lumber so it withstood the weather. On Saturday, I took it apart (using screws makes it simple) and rebuilt it wider than original and added a 2by4 to the top. Voila! A stand to hold up the rear of my bike after I took the wheel off.
Sunday, in spite of the pain I cleaned the rear fender so, I achieved something.
Monday; build a front stand, take off the front wheel and start rebuilding the forks, if I have a good day I'll get the forks rebuilt.
Tuesday; Inspect wheels and tighten the spokes, after that take wheels and new tires to bike shop and leave them to be mounted and balanced.
Wednesday; reassemble the bike and do a little sheet metal fabrication.
Thursday; spare day because nothing ever goes according to plan there will be work to do.
Friday ; rest and recuperate, hopefully before my long ride to the show Saturday.
Final request, I promise. I'm looking at video editing apps for Galaxy Tab A (2017), pray the Lord guide me to the right one. I've taken stills and will take more and shoot video. My idea is germinating but, I will give you what I have so far, idea wise. A YouTube video showing the build, kinda like a stop motion and video that distills the process of the build into a short section, the finished bike, a section on the ride and ending with video of the show.
Working title. One week build, ride to and sights of the 3rd Annual Congregation Show, Charlotte NC. That's too long. I'll figure it out.
Thank you in advance for your prayers. Let His Glory Shine!
