I've been having a ball reading other people's blogs - it's ever so much easier than writing to my own!
Since my last rant, about the Occupidiots, most of what's been going on has been close to home. I was engaged in pulling together enough scratch to rebuild the power plant for Her Darkness(if you read an earlier entry, you noted that I had a major engine failure outside of Tucumcari), helping my bros in the Club get things together for a Clubhouse, trying to balance work and family and Club. Fortunately I lost my mind some years ago, so while it got a bit stressful at times, it didn't become overwhelming.
The Clubhouse we all worked so hard to get together became a reality after we leased an 'Office/Warehouse' space and remodeled it. With the talents of several and the labor of all, we turned it into a great hangout for our weekly gatherings of members and friends, with video games, a pool table and and an electronic dart board.
We like it...
The trick paint job is courtesy of Joe Larry, father of the ever-snarky prankster Spike. All told it was almost four months after we leased that it was mostly where we wanted it.
As for Her Darkness, her heart was turned over to a fella whose expertise has no equal when it comes to S&S engines. He pretty much replaced everything but the crank and jugs, had the heads rebuilt, and cleaned it up real fine...
Gods, what a lovely sound... and I was back on 2 wheels again.
