We definitely need more eyes to be smiling these days. Quite a bit of turmoil in the country right now. Way too many people dying, losing their jobs or businesses, or just having trouble making ends meet. I read where 67% of the people in the country are living paycheck to paycheck. However, it doesn't seem like too many of them are staying home. Maybe where I am here in the mid-west things aren't that bad, or maybe these same people just aren't adjusting their lifestyle and living on the credit cards. Whatever the story, as my old pal Dobak used to say, "Save your money."
When we went to Fab Tec last week, there was a Wells Lamont booth that had a display of their product line. I asked the salespeople if they had the Handy Andy Rubberized gloves. Both of them apparently had never heard of these gloves. They said the product line they had was the industrial line and the Handy Andy gloves weren't part of it. Actually, to me it sounded like they had never heard of these gloves and didn't care to know anything more about them.
I used to wear these all the time when I worked at the welding shop years ago before I started teaching. The rubberized deal made them so-so waterproof, and they kept your hands warm as long as it wasn't real cold out. Anyway, I've looked for them at all the usual vendors as well as online and never found them. Somehow, Surly located some for me, so yes Virginia, you can go home again.
I tinkered around in the shop yesterday on a couple of things and then I took one of the forks apart to install the new seal. However, there are two seals in each leg stacked one on top of the other. I only have two new ones, so I ordered another pair. I'll get the first fork put back together and get the other one done when the next pair comes in. In the meantime, I'll get the electronic ignition and the muffler inserts installed on the Sportster, finish up the mailbox/bell project and see about picking off a couple of little items on the honey-do list.
