Mostly Old Pix

I haven't gotten a thing done to the cabin lately, but plan to head for Alpine next week to get the rest of the insulation I need to finish insulating it and a few other things. Will also get some parts for the Jeep to try and get it squared away. Hopefully before the real cold weather hits I can be sleeping in the cabin where I can stay warm without using so much propane doing it. The VA has me setup for an appointment to go to Odessa on the 15th which is my birthday and that ain't happening. Since they aren't paying my travel expenses the cost for going up there would prevent me from getting the cabin insulated and jeep fixed. Besides all that I refuse to set in the damn waiting room all day on my birthday!

I was going through an old picture folder on my site a couple of days ago and found some old pictures I'd forgotten about so for lack of anything else to post here goes.

This is  a picture of the trike I built before I went nuts and turned it in to a trike. Wish I'd have left it this way, but it would be hard to put it back like that.

I later modified this again with a peanut tank, added lights, and a different seat and painted the tank red.

Above another mini chopper I built.

No doubt most women would be extremely pissed to see this in the house, but the eX was gone when I was doing this. HAY! The weather was bad outside and the garage wasn't heated!

One of the two trophies I won with the bike/trike. Won one as the bike and another one as a trike. First place in both shows.

Some of the granddaughters back in Plano when I was there also. I setup the board where marbles could be rolled down it and the girls took turns letting marbles go at the same time to see which one would win. Sort of a drag race with marbles. Only 2 marbles were used at a time and there was a rotating competition. Don't remember which one won here, but they did this many times. Lots of fun when the weather is bad.

Same bike after I sold it and the new owner chopped it. Wish I'd have done the same when I had it.

The top left cart was the first project I built in Plano and it was a high speed build. Only took about 3 hours for me to build it. It had about 4 times the horsepower it needed so it was scary fast. Probably pretty dangerous to, but I never ran it hard with the grandkids on it. From that cart there were many many more projects. (Both carts and choppers)

The upper right picture was taken at the Carl's Corner swap automotive swap meet. I'd built that cart for that reason. To hook up  the trailer and pull some of the family around the swap meets. The trinket vendors loved it because they knew when they saw us coming there was going to be some money spent.
