Have fun on the roof. I'm just about to head out to the farm to fire up the cutting torch and the arc welder.

Harley is giving up his "bike" area, and it will go there. We're building a new 20' X 20' addition on the back of the shop for a new bike area for my Indian and Harley's bikes this winter.

Diane and I are thinking about a NASCAR race some time in the fall for a vacation.

A new garage for the bikes, sounds cool.

I would love to go to a NASCAR race!

Harley and I agree that we want a "special" place for our bikes, and parts, so another room off the main shop was a no brainer........

Our vacation is broken up into two places. Firstly we are going to Disneyland. I'm less than thrilled with that part. If I could figure out a way to get out of it and stay married I would. The second part we are going to Wickiup for some camping, fishing and sight seeing. I'm slightly more interested in the second half.

The unfortunate part about the Wickiup trip is that my in-laws are going. My FIL just bought a new boat and can't drive it to save his soul. He managed to wrap the bow line in the prop over the weekend on it's maiden voyage in Tillamook Bay. Apparently my MIL kept saying that there was something in the water around the motor. He told her to sit down and shut up. It wasnt until he tried to rais the motor and the bow line was taught and couldn't raise the motor that the light came on. Along with a bunch of other stupid stuff. I vowed I would never ride in a boat with him.
