LIfe….

Crazy days lately, on all fronts. But rain is falling again, washing down the streets, the gullies, and piling the leaves and the summer crumbs where they can be collected or swept aside. At least Gigi and MasterBlaster remain smitten with each other….

Been collecting some doo-dad parts and tools I need to jerry rig my frame jig to nail into place Dan's chainstays for tacking to weld. Had to spend tonight doing some mods to the extrusions I'll use…drilling through holes, marking out where I will cut the lengths down, etc.

Needing to drill some aluminum….super mushy shit after punching through Ti…..I wonder about that stuff….suspiciously cool shade of grey……

Long live the counterpunch….what genius invented that?

Spent a good hour…maybe more fixturing Dan's frame back into my jig and aligning the angles (in the good words of Janis Joplin, Lord won't you buy me, a Mercedes Benz, or if not, an Anvil Journeyman? Used is fine…) The good news? The jig remained on the money. Hitting angles to the half degree.

I need to stop going to Hillsboro every day. Please. Someone dump some gold bars and peanut butter Snickers down my chimney. I need some time to get awesome. Back to the task tomorrow night. High Five's at Halloweener.
