My '69
Had a busy Saturday helping the neighbor set up at a local swap meet for car racing equipment in Portland. Was not as good as the big swap meet they have here about the first weekend in April. Instead of 30,000 square feet this last Saturday, it will be 10 times that plus the entire parking lot and it will be 3 days instead of one. That should be fun... exhausting but fun.
The highlight of the show Saturday, to me at least, was a like new 1968 Red Honda Sport 90 motorcycle, so naturally I had to visit with the owner. He said, "I bet you're going to tell me you owned one just like it". I said, Nope, but had my first MC wreck on one just like it. He helped me with a problem I have with my 1969 Honda Trail 90's carburator, (they share pretty much the same components). So now maybe I can get the '69 fixed and ready to sell it at the big show in April. Need more room in my garage other stuff...
Next project is to get my Epson Photo printer cranked up to print out a couple of my 8X10 stereos for Tuesday night's jurying for our next photo gallery exhibit at the 3D Center later this month. Hope the ink jets don't clog up in the middle like last time.

i was hunting around for one of those back when i lived in sf and was dating a guy that was very good at restoring cars and bikes. i enrolled in a class at the community college on how to repair motorcycles, just to get ready for owning a bike, and then had to drop out because it was too much work. some day i shall return to that class, with a nice little old bike in tow and work on it to my heart's content.
mmm. i knit. i knit like a maniac! mostly just scarves though. so your wive weaves yarn? does she sell any of it? if so, where might i pick some up?
