The Buildoff Continues . . .

That's right, it's still going on. With no clear cut winner, it's going to come down to the wire and the very last vote (I don't know who's voting). Super Dave's 360 (aka Vapor the J.J. (just ask Dave or I what it means)) got some new "mufflers" ( I doubt they muffle much) since the last update. The gas tank is getting painted and the battery box is made. The Vapor is progressing nicely and it is visible progress. Meanwhile, the 500 is just getting little touches (just like that nice gentlemen gave me in the airport bathroom, mmmmm). And you can barely see them in the pictures but in person they are there. But more importantly, we got some new additions to the garage (no babies, that would be weird if the garage had smaller baby garage's. actually, that would be pretty sweet). If you look in the first pic, you can see the two 48" fluorescent lights that we picked up on Sunday. That made a world of difference. The other addition hasn't been utilized yet, but it will. My grandparents dropped off a drill press last Saturday. I'm thinking a bunch of stuff is going to get some holes.

The Shakopee Biker Buildoff Has Begun . . .

This became a two horse race Sunday morning when Dave E. Boy picked up his bike. He's working on a '77 Yamaha XS360. As you can see in the top picture (yeah, it's from my cell phone, we didn't think about saving the pictures from craigslist) it's a pretty clean mochine. A couple of little dings in the gas tank but overall pretty good for a '77. And for it being a 360, it moves good enough. As a side note, Dave's 360 and my 500 both have (or had when new) 27 horsepower. The cutting has already begun (if you couldn't tell by the pictures) and so has the buildoff to end all buildoffs. Two men enter, one man leave. Two men enter, one man leave. Or something like that. Can't you just see the fire in Dave's eyes that he wants to win?

Lost Footage From Hawaii

As I was perusing the vast archives of the 320 gb hard drive on the mainframe (wow, that sounds technical), I ran across this footage from the Hawaiian vacation/marriage trip last year. Yeah, just your ol' pals Ryan and Timmy doing some karate, talking about lethal weapons and shit. Then this dude shows up on a killer choppa. Good times.

Sunday Mornin' . . .

I've been meaning to post this song for a while now. And when the ol' youtube pulled up this version, I figured I would post this instead of just the Johnny Cash version. Does it get any better than Cash and Kris Kristofferson (you know, Rubber Ducky from Convoy)? How about the two previously mentioned AND Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings. Dude.
