    painting fuel tank

    Very helpful and timely. I have to strip the floor of my boat and need a good paint stripper for it. Last stripping job was on my trailer, and I used Naval Jelly, but that's more for rusty metal.

    Yeah, I noticed the master link was wired and couldn't understand why. I never had a clip fail. I always used a needle nose to force the sir clip off the link by squeezing together the open ends of the sir clip and the axle of the link they were clamped on to and the clip would squirt forward...

    I once saw an early PBS show where an old time craftsman was building a heavy, short wooden horse drawn logging sled with wooden sled runners in the traditional manner. He wrapped them in iron he forged from old metal bands for wooden silo staves as this was the most durable metal to withstand...

    New Game: Old Garage Photo w/your XS

    So, I walked over and was surprised to see that I was standing in front of Pauly Teuful Jr.'s Design Studio. I'm sure most of you know he was on the show, Orange County Choppers. I couldn't get great pictures of the show room, due to the glare , but I think there's an Indian trail bike in there...

    New Game: Old Garage Photo w/your XS

    Yesterday marked the 51st anniversary of Woodstock, "three days of peace, love and music", so we decided to take a toke, err, a ride Upstate,NY, near there. We went over the Walkway Over the Hudson, then we went to the walkway under the Walkway Over the Hudson. Then we started heading back...

    My neighbor had that done and was months in rehab. He tried to stop a falling A/C unit. Each injury is unique, but as the saying goes; " Use it or lose it". I'm glad we all had a good turn out! My neighbor is back to his HVAC job and land scaping on the side.

    Long distance trips

    Fairings are pretty essential when going 450/ day. Fatigue can put you to sleep. I didn't have cruise, which used to be a set screw on some bikes. With even that little amount of twisting resistance from throttle return springs, over time, your forearm will cramp up, so I wrapped a piece of...

    Long distance trips

    Yeah, my haunches were vibrating for days afterwards. And going that fast for so many miles gives you a thousand mile stare and a deep desire for more wind in your face. No matter how fast you go, the average is 50 mph. You have to stop for food, gas and a bathrooms with a 3 gal. tank.

    I have great news! My wife's car battery died. I bought another and dropped it in backwards. With my left hand, I held the positive terminal, attached to the hold down clamp away from the top of the battery and with my right arm, palm up, I lifted the DieHard with the highest cold cranking amps...

    Long distance trips

    Noone seems to believe this. I was 21 and two friends and I left New Jersey for Colorado and did some hiking and drinking in the Rockies. On consecutive days, we did 250, 450 and 650 miles. Two days later, I left them and headed 450 miles straight to Santa Fe to visit my girlfriend who was in...

    That scene with Jimmy Stewart was taken in Mission San Juan Bautista, Ca. My brother was there and it's on my bucket list

    This is a picture of a Spanish fort in St. Augustine, Fla. The walls are made of a mix of seashells and sand. When invading British ships fired on the fort, the cannonballs just stuck in the walls, which I believe were 5 ft thick. The Spanish troops occupying the fort were able to retrieve the...

    Thanks, Dude, I needed that. I also saw mention that the Wall was in at least five movies. And if you saw the google site about motorcycles with trees growing around them, there are a whole of other things you can see that trees grew around.

    This is not a barn, either, but I stumbled on a motorcycle museum coming south of Newburgh, NY a week or two ago, Its called Motorcyclepedia, a new modern facility with 500 bikes and a website. What stopped me in my tracks was what was under the sign. It was a Yamaha. It had telltale signs of...

    I picked up the hay grabber for $12 and the two pulleys for $5 each. Everything's clumped together in this lawn sculpture, but you can see the pulleys. I'll try to get better pix.

    Every year, except this one, we go to the Thurman town wide garage sale, in the Adirondacks. One year, I picked up the pulley and hay grabber that hangs from a rope on a hook or eye below that overhang on the loft door. The pulley looks like it has a face and the hay bale grabber looks like big...

    We drive up to go hiking and boating. There's a beautiful free launch ramp and new floating dock at Lake Lillenonah. Here's the launch ramp. It's a destination for bikers. I saw this guy launching his Chriscraft. He told me the windshield was from a Messerschmidt. I have no way of knowing, but...

    That's a sleek ride. My wife came from New Milford, Conn. and was vice president of their hunting club. They had permission from farmer's to hunt their lands and some were club members. Once, I took her to her hunting grounds and her and her dog went out into the field in a snow storm to hunt...
