So....Thursday, as per usual, was awesome! I took off from work early to help out Papa at the job site. He does REAL man's work, something I'm not used to. Sorted debris, odds and ends busy work. Whatever I can do to help. We finished up there and headed out to the shop. Beers: engage. Smokable produce: engage. Marty stories and buddy time, fuckin a: engage!!
So yeah... On to the shovel, I decided to build myself a new little switch housing..plate..whatever the fuck. My old one was....I'll say, "janky" at best. It ended up being really slow going due to the before mentioned beers and produce. Anyhow, I completed it.
Jamey had thrown a pair of tri tips on the grill and then bestowed the title of grill master unto me. My responsibility. Oh God. I pulled the meat off the heat, and we fucked it up. Damn tasty.
I regained focus and, with the help of Papa, started installing my carb support bracket. Being a mikuni, my carb doesn't BOLT on, it's just rubber and hose clamps. I really don't want it to fall off, so a support bracket is a MUST! This task was just about complete when Jamey and I realized, "it's fuckin cold, let's leave." So we did.
This Thursday was fun, what I lacked in productivity, I made up for with laughs. Got to see some good friends, a couple I haven't seen in WAY too long. Hanging with the usual suspects is ALWAYS a blast. I'm chipping away at the little shit that has to be done on the shovel, I'm goddamn ready to ride.
