He's gonna high side that thing first time he leans those pegs into the pavement.
Yea, that would concern me too.
Like Dan said, love those ape hangers.

Here is the hog. My daughter picked the colors on the first overhaul.
Holy moly! Ape hanger handlebars too. To me nothing was more fun as a kid than a minibike! Nice job keeping 'er around all these years. I dig that, Ischiavo. My son is, hmm... Soon to be 26. He still has the Daisy Red rider i gave him when he was 9 or 10. Imade a really nice gun case for it as

She's not really set up for high speed cornering or high speed anything
Thanks Dan. I really don't get rid of things that have any meaning to me. I still have my first car, my bb gun, every guitar I have ever bought, etc. I have never been much of a trader or seller. That is cool that your son still has his gun. I hope mine will too :
What was your first car?
You still drive it or is it covered in leaves and sunk in the ground up to the frame?
That's some dedication to have indoor storage on an unused car. I guess a bug doesn't take up much room though.
I feel the pain I have the same issue, except without the disassembly. Can't afford the needed maintenance or the shipping so it sits.
Just returned from a college orientation for my youngest boy. My daughter (who stayed home) surprised us with a litter of foster kittens (not the first time). But this time, one of them is polydactlyl. If any of you have cats, it's really weird to see one with a bunch of extra toes. I'll get some pics later.

Came together nice. Slate from that pool table your not using for the top?
Is this a shop area? There's hardwood floors.
One heck of a week. Had to call out of work Monday due to a water line breaking under the house. Every other day was working until after midnight to play catch up. Enjoying a late night homebrew to prepare for the weekend.
Depends on what time you start work but that sounds like a long week. Enjoy the brew and the weekend
I go in about 9am. Mostly it's lab work which is really a lot of waiting around.
That's a cool shot.
Thank you, I like the hop plant reflected in the water.
So, today a thought occurred to me while sitting on the porcelain thrown reading Brew magazine. What's a better way to draw beer for gravity readings?...
So my idea, which im sure is not original but I've never heard it stated before.
Drill a hole into the lid of a ferm bucket a smidge larger than a standard plastic straw. Keep the small hole covered with someting clean and sanitized. Probably could find a small plug first and then match the drill size.
Anyway, you see where im going. When gravity reading time comes, and this is for me using a refractometer. - pop the little pug, stick a samitized straw into the hole, put your finger atop the straw, pull out a few drops of beer. Test and Bam! Reading over. Spray the little hole and plug with some Starsan if you feel the need. Reinstall the plug.
Hey all! Ive been missing you guys a lot. Still trying to figure out this Hawaii change of life, new job, and probably mostly, being so far away from my kids. It was my move, my decision. My bad and i knew id have to figure how to deal with thst and make it positive. I havent yet.
Ok.
Ischiavo, man you are always coming up with one bit of creativeness or another. Youve mentioned a few times overr these past few years you play a guitar and im making an educated guess you play it quite well. I think its quite amazing the way creativity plays out. I figure it this way, creativity needs an outlet, a path to flow, and like a river the outlets change with time. I also believe a man who sticks with his family is an energized (maybe tired, thats different) man[emoji3][emoji108]
I have a strangish, to me, outlet in one of the upstairs bedrooms. I put my FLUKE mulimeter across the hot and return - 246VAC! Thats the outlet on the left. The one one the right 123VAC
How cool is this? A potential outlet for an electric brewery. Ive never seen an outlet so small used to carry 240VAC. Anybody know if its safe, up to code? I need to go to the breaker box and see if its even idrntified and ciruit protected.

Sorry Dan. Not much time today to respond to everything.
I would guess that is a dedicated A/C outlet. It is 240V 20A - both stabs horizontal. That could serve you well for an electric brewery. Looking forward to the build

Just today I caught my son climbing the hallway wall like he was Spider-Man and while he was at the top I told him to get down and right at that second he loses his grip and falls and of course his brother is walking right below him as this happens so his ass falls right on top of his brothers head which dropped his brother instantly but causes him to flip forward face first into the wall making him bite his tongue pretty bad.
The worst part of this is I automatically defaulted to angry dad and while picking them both up and checking their injuries I am screaming at them about how stupid it all was. Not my proudest moment and I had to eat my pride afterwards and apologize to them for reacting badly. Scared the **** out of me though. I thought one broke his neck and the other broke his teeth. So I've been feeling like scumbag father of the year all day.
