Well you call a .... never mind.

In spite of all my stupid blogging I have been trying to keep an architectural firm afloat, sell a bank and have managed to start a new business. Here is the web site launched yesterday...

Carts - golf, yes. I need to get to the lake and get the parts off to send out. Hopefully next weekend.
Bikes - pedal- need to replace the crankset on my new bike with a compact before spring, just haven't done it yet. motor- still trying to find the ohlins R&T fork I've been hunting for for three years.
Guns-always buying.selling them, no end in sight.
Home Improvement-supposed to be redoing the kitchen, just haven't gotten around to it yet.

If these damned forums would just shut down for a while I might get something done.
:ack2:
 
Guns.

I've been building an AR15, and am shotgun shopping now (not too many made in USA autoloaders:ack2:). Also looking to take the CCW class.

The wife has wanted to take it for at least three years, and I told her I would go with her. I am supposed to be buying her a gun to carry and use for the course, but every time I start looking I find something else I like and buy it. :huh:
 
Had a lot of plans then I messed up my hand.

So I am still building a 60 x 60 shop for my toys, but not helping as I intended to..

Have gotten a 19' Daytona Eliminator JetBoat ready for this Saturdays Outlaw side by side 1/8th of a mile test and tune session with the outboard guys:)

Have not made any progress on restoring a 350 Big Bear 4x4 for my youngest

Have not made any progress on replacing the beaten up front clip on my midsize tractor.

Have not fixed the worn out steering quadrant on my wife's ride on mower.

Have not replaced and wired the lights on my golf cart.

Have not built a cover for the patio.

Have not re upholstered the patio furniture.

Have not rebuilt the hatch cover on my boat.

Have started physical therapy and am making slow progress:)

Oh and I did make it to the Chili Bowl in Tulsa last weekend for the Midget Race car Nationals.
 
I bought this in the fall. I've been so busy that I have not gotten everything done that I want though. I hope the wheels/tires/suspension will be done in the next week. I have custom dash, seats, lighting, stereo, and other things to attend to before it will be become my street cruising daily driver.

I can't bear to look at the mid-way pic I have, much less post it. It's in my photo album though.

Some of my ongoing "stuff"

Bikes - hopefully going to sell my 600 and buy a 1000 in the spring.

Home improvements - Painted the brick, all new windows, all new doors, all new interior doors, all new trim (Azek) on the outside, all new trim on the inside, bricked in my old front door, knocked out a window and a half a wall and made room for a doublewide entry door system with two sidelights, redo the hardwood floors, knocked out the old stoop and put in large courthouse steps on the front, both bathrooms to be redone bottom to top. Not sure what I am going to do about the driveway but after jackhammering the old stoop out, and then jackhammering the sidewalk out I don't feel like tackling the driveway - This has been going on for a while now, just doesn't seem to EVER get done. Just finished the kitchen and installing an entire HVAC system. I am tired of working on the house and just want to BOAT!!

Truck - Spent a fair amount of today tracking down a faulty brake caliper and replacing. I have now had BOTH the rears on my F350 fail. I figured it was just the slide pins both times but both times it was the caliper.

I too have been meaning to for a while. Neighbors planning on taking it, so I said I'd join. It's a good excuse to buy that M&Pc I wanted anyways.:USA:

Is that a 95? I bought a 95 2 door 4x4 last year but it is going to be a trail riding truck, already did a 3" body lift and 35's. Always loved the looks of them, mine has the tailgate option.

I picked up a sled and have been doing a few things to it. I have a poker run on the 30th on the river i keep my boat on and it hits all the yacht clubs in my area. Last year they did close to 300 poker hands and all the clubs have some pretty good partys going on. Hope the ice holds out I'm not liking some of these warmer days we have had. :sifone:
 
Not so much a "winter" project, but I bought another Jeep TJ Wrangler at the end of the summer that I've been working on.

Replaced a ton of stuff on it so far, both cosmetic and maintenance parts.

Next up are heated Corbeau seats. (So I can start with no top and doors earlier in spring)

Buy one of those electrically heated motorcycle suits and start now:)
