    I have not had a job all week so I'm not making nothing. I'm looking forward to retirement. But going to have to do something to keep the walls from closing in.

    Findin something to do ain't the problem,

    Its having the money to go and do it.
    Cheapest thing you can do is to stay at home.

    It cost money to go anywhere, and when you leave you need somethng to eat and gas. There is more money.

    And when yer off, all yer buddy's are at work.

    I bought this for myself about a week ago. Wanted to learn more about my engine so when the time comes to rebuild and or fix it, hopefully I will have a better understanding. It has been a long time since I built a model but ended up having fun doing it.

    A little advise I got from another form is paint some of the interior parts like the pistons, rods etc so you can see them better.

    Ya can never have enough of them. Make a great pillow for restin up at the end of a run. Also serves as a handy rain cover if ya get caught out in the weather. They don't talk unless ya pull the string,and the little woman don't come out with the shotgun when ya get caught ridin with it.:roflmao:

    OK, I got the first part done. It's really just an introduction, but read it anyway... please :D

    Gift giving for the biker on your list

    They like it when you write a bunch of articles, so I figured I'd break it up.

    As far as work goes... :banghead: I haven't had enough work in ages myself. Thought I was getting married in August, so I didn't schedule anything. Of course that took me into fall and everything started getting canceled. My son moved out (temporarily) and he picked up a job quickly, so that helps. I got a part time job at a bar, which is a joke since I haven't had a drink in almost 20 years. I started as the cook, but now I'm bartending too. I'm making about a third of what I was when I was full time before, and working about a third of the hours. :gah: Thankfully I have a good landlord who's been great about late rent. Just hoping to pull through until classes start up again.

    Hey! Does anyone want to write about motorcycles for Examiner in their neck of the woods? It isn't much money, but you can write off a lot of your motorcycle expenses. Plus I get a few bucks if you tell them I referred you.
