Hi all

What a beautiful day we had in Kapuskasing today. Since the snow is melting pretty fast now i decide to park my 3 machines till next winter. Did not had a chance to try the 200a yet.

I'm thinking of re-building my 444. So in the next week or so i'll be starting to take it a part. I'm afraid that if i'll take it apart i won't be able to put it back together. I'm going to get the 444 re-painted. Since it's going to be in pieces should i chance all the bearings? I have one guy that is welling to do the work on the 444 and he will charge me between 300.00 and 400.00 with paint , primer and sand blasting .So i think it's a good deal.

I hope in June i'll be able to re-paint my Diablo 500. Not much word to do on this one. I still have to work on the other 500 that i'll be re-building. This one is all ready in pieces. This will be alot of work. But not in a hurry to do it.

One other project that i would like to finish is my 72 Snowbug. I have to buy a piston and some rings plus a condensor and points. After changing those parts i really hope that the motor will start. My grand daughter decide that she want's the snowbug and she's only 3 years old. So the Snowbug is hers

Ask the wife tonight if I could put my Bolens in the living room and said since i'm a live your junk stays in the garage but when i'm dead you'll be able to put then anywhere you want.

I love my wife

Take care all

It was a beautiful day in Wisconsin too. Tomorrow's supposed to be up in the mid 60's. Holy Cow, Spring is here!

I too was hoping to get a little more riding, but the Diablos are going to be put away with weekend. Now the focus is back on the shop and getting the inside put together. More racks for more storage, a mezzanine for smaller storage, and a heated work area for working in next winter. Get all that done, then it will be time to start on the next project.

Does it ever end? I hope not.
