here's some pics to go along with the last post. 1. new 'canoe' rack, topper fits underneath, neat. started sanding and painting some rusty spots yesterday. that rustoleum 'paint over rust' stuff is nasty. had to wash my hands with brake cleaner. 2. bike now has baskets. the baskets have already gotten a lot of comments from homeless types such as, "man you can fit a lot of beer in those" and "hey nice baskets, can i have one of those beers?". back off bums. 3. trailer/snowmobile mess taking over garage.
