To be perfectly honest, it would look exactly like the last picture I took other than the headlight bucket and front turn signals are off again so that I can have better access to the gauge wires. Honestly when I went down there late last night I thought the only change was that the bench was messier. Today I'll finish up the m lock mount, get those wires run dow the backbone where all the others end with tags that are keeping everything straight in my head.

In other news I modified both rat traps last night. I made the springs stronger and ran some drywall screws up through the bottom in the hopes that when this thing is avoiding the trap mechanism, they would cause it to be a split second slower. Woke up to one trap sprung and nothing to show for it. The squirrel hasn't even touched the Black Hole trap. We did get fresh snow last night and his tracks are easily seen so I'm gonna see where they came from. Yesterday I did catch him in the tree outside the window just staring inside at me. Could have easily popped him with a pellet gun but when I mentioned that, Heather just shakes her head.

So far the squirrel gets a pass on incoming pellet fire.  So far.

As a wise old man (my father) taught me well:
It's much easier to get forgiveness than it is permission.

Shoot the squirrel and throw him in the woods.  Unless you tell, she'll never know but if she does ask, you can always do like I do with my wife.  "Honey, I know you're sensitive about animals so do you REALLY want to know what happened?"
If she says yes, you tell her but you can always play the "I tried to tell you that you didn't want to know" card if she gets upset.   ::)

Not much to show for my efforts today but I did finish the mount for the M Lock. It turned out really nice. I also needed to cut off the rubber sheath from the three wires on the M Lock because I needed the wires to be a bit shorter so the ground can join all the others at the p clamp up near the neck. I'm also redoing the wires for the horn because now I'll have the M Lock wires in the same loom as them until they get to the p clamps and the grounds leave and then the other wires will enter a new sleeve and proceed on back.

Ooooh, shiny!

Looks like the pegs I had on my freestyle bike that I rode a total of 6 times..... because I realized quickly that I hate falling on my tailbone over and over again.

I'll have to look into that. I got home from work today and the thing was sitting on the deck furniture cover. I've completely given up on trapping it with rat traps like I've been using.

Thanks Don!

My 44th birthday was yesterday. More wiring showed up from McMaster so I can continue on with where I left off with the gauges and coils. I've been getting my a$$ handed to me at work these last few days and yesterday was no different but I'm alive and kicking so I'm thankful for that.

Mom says I can't get a BB gun!!  :(  So unfair. I told her Cal's mom lets him have a BB gun. She just doesn't understand. I'm getting one!

I did, however, just get home from the eye doctor. Know what I am getting? Some damn bifocals!! That's bogus.

Tonight I got a few more wires run. I just ordered more green and yellow 22awg and then tonight I realized I need black, brown, and red in 22. So...stalled out again. Things do look a mess right now though. There's wires on top of wires. I'll get a pic later on. Tomorrow I get fitted for my new glasses. Then I gotta pick up some damn Fibercon, a phone with big a$$ buttons, and some bed rails. Hoping I get this bike built before retirement.

Cal will come pick it up from you on his way to Florida...he has supplied so much of the engineering so far he already owns a 25% stake of it...  factor in all those consultation charges and I am afraid you owe him far more than a couple bikes.  No one ever breathed cheap and Cal in the same sentence.

If that squirrel is still around in August maybe you can talk riders headed to Durango to swing by and take care of that pesky squirrel.

Wow. I was actually thinking more like 37%. And when I was in the hospital I did have a dream about setting up a will. Pretty sure that was the same night I had the dream about the hamburger. You know...as much as everyone freaks out about that sort of thing it really didn't take more than a few seconds in my dream. Then again, I don't really have anything. Cal got the bike and parts laying on the bench, floor, and shelves. (who loves you buddy?). Feel free to grab any of your tools you see laying around (by the way that one crimping tool was busted when I took it out of the box). One friend got all my fly fishing gear and another got the tying supplies. A random homeless person was going to receive my beard balm, oils, trimmers, shears, brushes, and combs. A guy I used to work with got my framed movie poster from "A River Runs Through It" (signed by Brad Pitt and Robert Redford). Does anyone want the oil based self-portrait hanging in my garage? It's a picture of me. That's why it's a self-portrait. Let me know guys. There's also some nice ball caps, and a really slick coffee mug I just got too. Hardly used.

And Cal would just stand there in complete awe and dismay at the engineering and wiring feats of genius that I have competently executed on the bike thus far. I gotta tell ya, sometimes I just stand there and run my fingers through the wires like a child would comb the hair of a favored doll.

Write me in for second dibs on the movie poster. It was partly filmed near Big Sky, MT along the Gallatin River. Beautiful country, but probably nothing special to someone such as yourself. "In our family, there was no clear line between religion and fly fishing."

If you've got a 'Legends of the Fall,' I'll take that too. Watched them both last night. Apparently it was Brad Pitt night on HDNet Movies. #SoDreamy

You got it Joey! I'll even throw in my antique fishing reels that are still in the boxes with the paper work. Never been used.

I asked my wife to marry me on the South Platte River. It's my home water and has always been very special to me. I love taking friends out on it. Especially first timers. I had always told her I would never get married so she was stunned when I proposed. Every time I walk past or fish at that spot it's special. I even put some of my dog's ashes in the river and each time I dip my hands in it's equally special. A very good friend of mine that I fish regularly with was in my wedding and read some of the lines from the book.

"All existence fades to a being with my soul and memories and the sounds of the Big Blackfoot River (of course, I substituted South Platte River here) and a four-count rhythm and the hope that a fish will rise. Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world’s great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs.
I am haunted by waters.”

It's my favorite movie.

I was sitting here having a coffee this morning and caught a bit of movement out of the corner of my eye and then saw the squirrel out on the deck. One pup (80 pounds of Pitbull) was laying in his spot with his head resting on the sill and that SOB came nose to nose with him through the window. He didn't do a thing but raise his ears. I quietly got up and opened up the door to the deck and called for the one I refer to as Little Evil (she's 50 pounds of Pitbull but ornery as hell). Her and I ran out on the deck and that squirrel dove under the covered up furniture. I kicked it over and that sucker jumped off the deck (two stories up). I saw it slip through the spindles and spread eagle in the air. You shoulda heard that thing hit the ground on his belly and bounce up before coming down again and scurrying up a tree only to find a safe branch and start barking at us.

I've given up on the rat traps and gopher traps. I bought a live trap today and it's out there baited now so we'll see what we get tomorrow.

That squirrel and you have the makings of a Roadrunner and Coyote strip or one of many other comics or tv comic flicks...

He's your caddyshack gopher.

Have you tried mixing poison in with the peanut butter? That way if the trap doesn't get him, the poison will.
