Well this weekend I'm planning on riding the Harley a little since the weather person is saying it should be 72 degrees this weekend before another storm comes in on Monday. Also I have a couple of Honda Z 50's I need to change tires on, and the 1969 needs me to finish the rebuild on the stator assembly I started a couple of weeks ago. The only other thing we have planned is the wife and I have a bowling tournament this Sunday which should be fun; it’s a no tap.

Also I just got a call from B&T and they told me the car won't be done until the end of May.:(

A tap is if you leave one pin standing on your first ball, like a seven, ten, five, etc pin it counts as a strike. Now if you leave two pins you have to try to convert it just like in regular bowling everything else applies. It makes for a fun tournament esp. if you get a lot of strikes and nine counts.

The wife and I started doing No taps last Holloween and we were lucky to win that one, since then we've placed in all but one and last month we got second for $150 they have one every month. The tournament we won on Holloween paid $500 but we won alot of the side pots and that helped alot. First place pays $300 and they pay down to 13th place which gets your entry fee back of $20.

Hey Hank ? Did you put a fuse in line with your amp meter ?

No, the wires supplied with the conversion kit have fusible links in them. Plus it's a shunt type ammeter in the 70's, no real current flow through the meter. It's really a zero centered volt meter. It measures the voltage drop across the wire between the horn relay and the junction block.

Well we ended up winning forth place for $70 and the wife won a stuffed chicken doll that does something called the chicken dance; it uses batteries. Boy was she happy, it's the first time she ever won anything at a raffle, you would think she hit the Lottery or something, but as long as she's happy.

I moved 4 Ram trucks full of top soil by hand Sunday. Don't sound like much,till you figure out that is 2 tons of dirt. My arms are so sore,I can barely type.

It was so cold and miserable yesterday,beer did not taste right.

Still working on the dash, lots of pieces to refinish. Getting estimates for a new roof too. Looks the the roof has been leaking at the chimney. Could just get the leak fixed but whoever laid the second roof did a half-assed job. Really needs to be stripped down then ice and water shield and new flashings. Got two estimates so far, $5200 and $7200, ouch. Guess I need a couple of more.
