Making Room
Current mood: busy
Category: Life

So, a new project will be following me home soon.  Not a 'project', as in my historical type of girlfriend/wife, but a mechanical type project.

1978 Honda CB 750, a classic bike of stellar reputation

Problem - I don't really have room for this thing.  There's the 90% finished front door project, which is keeping all my woodworking tools out in the only open space in the shop (and putting saw dust everywhere).  There's the 75% finished multi-function barbell rack project, which is not that big but requires lot of clearance for putting plates on and off the bar (and, um, I broke down and joined an expensive gym this year too).  Oh, and of course the 60% finished car project, which is already standing up on end to make room (kinda handy how I made it even more rear-heavy than a Porsche).  See, this is why I never became a serial killer - I just don't have the follow-through!

Oh well, the bike is (supposedly) in running condition as-is, so I shouldn't need to work on it right away. 

And just to prove (to myself) that it's not a mid-life crisis*, I'm selling the single most manly, virile, and potent possession I own,

Remington 700 BDL in 7mm Rem Mag - still just about the most powerful high-accuracy long-range stock rifle, for when you want to keep varmints out of your (5 mile square) yard

*And just because I can't get the sound-bite out of my head,
"It's not a Toomer!"
