Going to Move on Down the Line.


 And it shouldn't be too much longer .......


since the ignition kit showed up in Saturday's mail. I just need to get the installation done before Thursday. Also in the photo is the attachment I made for pulling the muffler inserts out of the drag pipes.


The weight rack is almost done. I need to pick up a piece of angle Tuesday morning in order to finish it but only a little bit of welding and some touch-up with the flap wheel and I can deliver it. Rather than welding caps on the ends of all the tubes, I'm going to see about some plastic caps that push in. Coach Jen can do the painting.

The weather is still holding. Got out on the bike and put in 11 miles this morning. The local church is sponsoring a bike ride next weekend. 10, 15, or 20 miles. No entry fee. According to the website it's for their bicycle club. I don't know anything about the club, but I'm planning on riding either the 15- or 20-mile ride so I can get more info then. 

The church has a really nice recreation center with a walking track. I was thinking while on my bike ride, if I wanted to do the 50-mile challenge, I could do that inside this winter.

Also, there's a 5k coming up locally in about 3 weeks. They have a walking class and I'd probably be the only one in the 75-79 age group, so even though I'm not in any kind of competitive condition, I'd be almost certain to get an age group win. I did this event last year and they had nice tee shirts. It's not like I need a medal or another tee shirt, but this is the first time in a long time I haven't done any running or walking events all year. Maybe it's time to lace up the shoes and go for a brisk walk.
