She learned how to do a complete brake job this weekend, including turning down a couple brake drums on the lathe. Then she and Harley took the old POS throttle crap off and built new mounts and installed a new cable throttle out of a 87 F-350 diesel. Then installed new chrome valve covers, and plugs, wires, changed the oil and filter.....

Not too bad for an 18 year old blond...........lol

Jim gets worse weather up his way than we do here, sometimes the weather radar is solid heavy rain up north, and we barely get a sprinkle.

I think the mountain ridges and the river valley here shelter us.
