A quick hello...

Okay folks, jamming on, so just a quick how do ya do...

Christi is on vacation this week, so I've been single parenting and running both kids, working in the shop, getting ready for the final race Saturday, and trying to keep moving on the new shop as well. I've had to take some time saving steps, like mixing the "bleach whites" in with the "normal whites" in the laundry, so if you see a pic where my socks are not as brilliant as they could be, so be it...sacrifices must be made :)

I finished up two Ho forks, here's Todd's in the fixture for a final check before tacking...

I broke out a new hole saw, trued and turned it on the lathe.  The result of the prep work is super tight fittment...
They are all welded up and ready for paint, probably this afternoon along with about 28 bars I pushed out the last two days.  Mikey, Tim, and I snuck in a quick lap at the Knob to check out the final trail conditions and punch list before the race, coming home to the last rays of light...

Once back, it was off to school games, a quick supper, back to the shop for a hour while the kid's worked on homework, then home again.  The days have been tough on the kids...leaving the house at 0545 and not coming home again until after 2130 each night are taking their toll.  Twill be good to have Christi home again for everyone's sake.

I was able to do some work in the new shop in the late hours; getting some framing and wiring up for the paint booth/prep area and an early moring concrete pour with Gary and the guys...

The end of the daylight is creeping ever so earlier...winter is soon on it's way.


cheers,

rody
