The Machine - SV650

I'm a creative dude. I like to build things. Creations if you will. And, as with most creative people, I work with those things that most intrigue and challenge me. So, I bought this basket case earlier this year with big plans to RIDE...The riding season came to an end and I still had basically a basket of parts. I did some work but mainly spent a lot of time in the idea stage. Lately, though, I've made some real progress. My ideas, and a little shopping, have got me going:

Back to my basics - or rather a passion of mine...

I've been getting a little spring fever lately.

Life...maybe...

I don't think it's so much how you start off in life, but that you do your best with what you have.

I wish...

I wish that life was different...I hope for better times.
I wish I could stand strong and resolute...it is hard to take a side.
I wish wishing could make a change...to bring about the best.
I wish I could know the outcome...then press forward with faith.

But faith is the expression of hope, which is much more than a wish, neither of which have anything to do with knowing. So I should not wish, but hope, and then press forward with faith.

Under the Counter

Its been a while since I've posted. Some times life gets in the way, and sometimes I get my priorities messed up. This blog is a perfect example. It was originally supposed to be snippets of my current likes and styles and thoughts, but lately it's been all about Mr T, which I have a blog specifically for, www.mrtdiaries.blogspot.com.


My honest mess...

The trenches of life swept silently o'er,
Mask'd villain instead,
Trivial ill weighted causes bring,
The thoughts about my head.

Zookmeld 2009 Part Deux

So I've been spending many hours in the shop getting Mr T. (my Tracker) back on the road. Now it has a different engine, a new turbo setup, an 8000 lb winch, a spool in the rear, and it is pretty sweet! Oh, I also painted the hood camo. A nice touch I think.







Blown up engine! This happened in the end of May at my first Zookmeld out by Rocky Mountain House.





















Whew! Lots of Pics...Lots of fun! eheheheh...
