Its better you stay on that yamahahaha so you don't know what your missing in an awesome ride and handling machine.

For those of you not on Facebook, here's the headboard from this weekend... it was designed to be a floating headboard, that you just kind of lean up against the wall and push the bed up against it.



It was made of reclaimed cedar (I believe it was cedar). Up in the hayloft of our dairy barn there used to be a large water tank that was the start of a gravity feed drinking cup system for the dairy cows beneath. My dad said that he took it down, and for some reason stored the wood back in the 70's. It's just been sitting in a shed since then.

Nice headboard Jake.


If I order a blue spring from Tousley, can someone from the metro (close) pick it up and bring it to suppertown?

It was an Ace store. I worked in both Maple Grove and Rogers. They were privately owned. Just the two stores. The owner could be a real piece of work sometimes but what a great learning experience. I think you will enjoy it.

I have ridden one. Not missing anything a newer Yamaha cannot do. Better.

That is true Troy. I hate bills!

Got the T-bird home today. He told me to pick up a factory belt for a 66' T-bird and it was the wrong size. Mother of pearl!

Mom is doing ok I guess. The usual aches and pains but nothing too bad.

That should look good.
