The man who pretty much started rockabilly music. Great entertainer but, man, he had what had to be the worst hairpiece ever at the end of his career.
I bought myself some Bossa Nova for my commute to the college. More like music to soothe the savage beast for the ride home.
The Magnolia trees are starting to bloom. I've got several different types, so I usually end up with blossoms on one or the other of them for about a month. They always look lovely and smell nice unless we get a late frost. I'm hoping we're done with the freezing temperatures until the fall, but you never know around here - we had snow on the first day of spring.
I started cleaning up the fork legs- lots of paint on them. Looks to be a really good primer, silver, clear, and then the bronze. It'll take me a bit, but I'll get them to shine like a diamond in a pig's ass, as the old saying goes.
I did a bit of "think time" on the Jitney yesterday. I need to raise the seat up some and make a pattern for the floorboard. Before I put the seat back in I'll make the protective shield that goes under it to keep the driveshaft hitting me in the naughty bits if a U-joint fails and a driveshaft loop to prevent the shaft from digging into the road and creating a giant pogo stick.
I'll pick up the argon bottle tomorrow, and hopefully the fork seals will be here soon. Things are moving along.
