Change in the music, but variety is the spice of life after all.
Worked on the trials bike a little bit yesterday. I ran out of argon but I warmed up the shop so I could paint the swingarm. I'm liking the color - should go well with all the shiny aluminum that's going to be on the bike. The Rust-Oleum has variable spray patterns. I used setting number 3 which is low flow. It worked well painting the tubing on the swingarm.
I'll pick up an argon bottle Monday and get back on the welding. I should have finished welding it before I had the eye trouble. My depth perception is off a bit, which creates a problem when welding thin material with the TIG. I had to grind the tungsten more than times than I would have liked after "sticking it in the soup".
I've still got a couple of things to do on the frame in addition to the welding - drill some holes, mount the skid plate and some additional cleaning. I'm planning on doing some of that today.

George Foreman passed away the other day. Big George was only a year older than I am, so that hits pretty close to home.
Rest in Peace, George. You were a great champion!
