Well, today I rode the GL1800 to church to pick up communion kits for our family and two neighbor families. On the way home, rode over Norris Dam to do my part for Homeland Security. When I got home I warmed up Johnny 5 and rode it down the hill toward the daughter's house. There is an earthen dam (that seldom has water behind it) there that made a good backdrop for glamor photos for the bike. Then, I put about 20 miles on it (still running rough).

That's the daughter's house down below it.

Well for people that have been around long enough know the doghouse was built by me ..it was a 40 W 60ft long building with 24 ft tall ceiling height in the middle all free standing and no posts inside

.it was made to hold a greyhound bus so one could work on it totally inside a building ..nevet did get the dog or greyhound to turn it into a motor home ...well doghouse gone but I've bought the dog now ..and MCI 97 yr DL3 RV ...

Joe, I had to google it to find out an mci is a bus. Cool, gonna make a toy hauler out of it?

I'm going to make a Joey hauler out of it and for hooch also ..
 
Set up my corner office. That means an office in the corner, right?

The desk is wall mounted and drops down, as pictured. The computer monitor is also wall mounted.

We have a small house, so I don't have room for a real office desk. At least this should stay out of the way when done.

Tomorrow, I have to sand down the spackle on the wall and do some touchup paint.

How big is the monitor? :whistling:
 
I put new bulb in the speedometer so it lights up and a new bulb in the high beam indicator on the Mighty CT 70 then played around with the nighthawk 450, it's going to start soon

I was going to change the chain and sprockets on the golden turd but the rear sprocket is held on with a circlip, I didn't have a way to remove it so I went riding on the Mighty CT 70

I woke the girls after a long winter's nap. Both started without much complaint. Did a couple of short, shakedown rides around town. Its been a cool, wet spring. Today got up to 60* with sun, and we won't see anything this nice for another week. I hope to start riding regularly soon.
 
Went out to my son & daughter-inlaws and put together our Granddaughter's swingset that we got her for Christmas, quite an ordeal with the chichen scratch instructions that came with it but we gotter done :good: :good: :good:
 
Spent part of the day yesterday putting the final touches on the 81: the only thing I need now is a license plate. This morning I found out that it seems all the notary offices in our state have been deemed non-essential so they are all closed until our Governor gives them permission to earn a living once again.

our DMV is also closed, a friend who needs to renew his plates said he was told not to worry about it that he would be " ok " until the DMV opened up. i'm good till the end of july
 
The problem I have William is that the bike is still titled in the previous owners name and I do not have a "legal" license plate on it. I am swapping it from my 84 every time I take it for a test ride, but the local police station is a block away from my house so I am always concerned that the Po-Po is around. :BigGrin:
 
played with the 450 nighthawk some more and got it running better, practiced low speed maneuvers while standing riding the GSA and even got in some yard work today. went out for about an hour early this morning on the Mighty CT 70 ended up close to SB so I went and got a pic

my buddy that lives across the street from me just picked a used F150, when he drives it he takes the title with him
 
seeing that it wasn't raining I went back out and got some work done on the 450. I noticed that it doesn't have tail lights but the brake lights work and both bulbs are good. seeing that the speedometer is working on the Mighty CT 70 I took the phone holder off of it and put it on the 450, the phone holder looks big enough to hold my garmin nuvi 255. I also took the 450 up and down the block a few times, the more it runs the better it runs
