The kids, Gunther, Thumper and Mr. Slick, will soon have a new home. They won't have to suffer in a rented garage without light. power or the usual moving the car routine. They'll have their own diagonal parking by order of seniority, parts storage and shelving ,workbench, and a place to hang tools for easy access. Hey, they might even get a hoist and a few other amenities for Christmas... They will have to deal with those romantic, foggy summers though, and the hardware store, coffee house and other neighborhood stuff won't be a few feet away anymore. But hey, I am sure they won't complain. http://colevalley.net/photos/kidnewhome.jpg Of course the next few weeks will be torture, waiting for all those pesky details to be taken care of, but then I will have my own "remote control motorcycle access door opener", and a summer-long list of "Honey do"s to go with it. -- Jim Stinnett VTR1000 R1100RS YZF R1 http://moto-rama.com
