I figured another Gil Scott Heron couldn't hurt, what with what has been going on in the world. I saw where they busted out the water cannons in Northern Ireland, and the natives there have gotten restless and have decided to do something about the immigrants after the stabbing incident the other day.
I also read of Glock handguns being outlawed in several states here. Apparently, it's fairly easy to convert them to full-auto - illegally of course, but since Glocks are extremely popular, good first step to banning firearms.
The ignition parts to make the spark plug wire for the trials bike showed up. However, I screwed up and didn't read the fine print well enough. The boot is sized to fit on the distributor, not the coil. So I still need to address that.
I welded up the brackets on the gas tank the other day. Unfortunately, when I welded one of the brackets, I developed a leak underneath where I couldn't reach it to patch it up. I fooled around longer than I should have trying to avoid cutting the welds out and removing the bracket. Eventually I welded all around it rather than skip welding it. Problem solved, but not as neat looking as I would have liked.
I went to the funeral home yesterday to pay my respects to my former minister. He married the Missus and I, my brothers, and buried my mother and father. The Missus got thrown out of the house a couple weeks before we were to be married. I explained the situation to the minister that I was concerned that when he got to the part in the ceremony about speak now or forever hold your peace, someone would take that opportunity to speak up. The minister, God bless his soul, said he'll just leave that part out. Problem solved, and the Missus and I are still married 55 years later. Rest in Peace, Reverend Starr.
