Completed this +10" swingarm so I can get it shipped to Texas. More pictures of the fabrication in my "Shop Project" which can be accessed from the link in my signature.

In my work sheds I did complete service on 12 MSF motorcycles, plus changed 11 clutch/brake levers, 3 tires, two clutch cables and various minor fixes. Busy 8 hours.

Wow, Jim. I need to rent you for a few hours....

I replaced the rear brake switch on my KTM - as with most jobs on the KTM, the 15 minutes task took 1 hour, as I had to remove a bunch of stuff, including the rear master cylinder to access the banjo bolt properly.

Now on to replacing a few o-rings to eliminate the small oil leak I have, then tackle the bigger (read, terrifying) task of replacing the water pump seal. Major surgery for a new wrencher like me...

Mopped up a lot of slush from parking the daily drivers in there.

Fiddled with mocking up a dead pedal for the 911.

Painted some light fixtures.

Extended the auger/drive cables on my snowblower, just in time for another 4-6inches snow. Oh but now the Auger wont turn. Think the belt might be shot.

So dig the garages and their uses -

I'm completely rearranging everything. Moved the shelving unit from the back wall (on the left) to the side wall. Now I'm trying to purge some of the **** as I put it back together.

Oil change and coolant change on the bike, and cleaned the tablesaw top. It was getting pretty nasty. Now it looks all nice again.

Finished my wiring loom and tucking it all out of sight.

For the lighting additions to my Neon. And buttoned the interior back up.

I guess it's not exactly "my" garage but the garage I'm employed at. I drug the trailer in for 4 new tires before the start of the day!

Installed my Craigslist find stainless sink/countertop. Thought I made out like a bandit but the faucet leaked and had to get a new one. Still under $200 in the deal.

Huge upgrade from the plastic laundry sink in Formica that was nasty and wouldn't clean up. I ordered a nifty wall mount holder for the box of rags I always use too.

Used my newly found Jet bench mill from CL to square up the front edges on the $5.00 cast iron Chinese anvil I found this weekend. Nice to have a small mill here at home for small projects.

Went over to a friends garage for the weekly beer and BS meeting.

I sure miss my weekly B&BS meetings. We bought our house from the man who built it who was also into cars. He then moved across the street and built a new garage and being older, we always had meetings there. He's since passed away and it hasn't been the same since.

I keep thinking it would be cool to meet some local GJ guys, but it's never happened.

Had my buddy and his wife over, the girls watched pretty little liars, my buddy and I replaced the accessory belt on the DD (aka. The shitbox, as my boss calls it), while enjoying pizza and beer. Now I'm enjoying a smoke and browsing GJ

Finally got around to building/finishing my street a five mailbox stand. Seeing as it was my first solo welding project I am happy with how it ended up turning out.

Nice, that is going to be a spring project for me. Right now I have no water or drain lines in the garage, but I plan to tap into the clothes washer lines (which are on the wall next to the garage) and add one. Also contemplating adding a second spigot under the sink so I can attach a hose and run hot water outside.
Finished up the table I made for the entryway and got it in place.

Great job!

Just superglued the broken piece back into the wife's favorite coffee mug. I told her before she went to work that it couldn't be fixed. Hopefully, she'll be surprised when she comes home.

I pulled the transmission tunnel off my pickup and tried to decide whether or not I want to change out the TH350 myself or have it done at a local shop. I have it up on high jackstands and I was thinking about buying a transmission jack and attempting it but I don't have any help. Not sure if I can wrestle it in and out without killing myself. I can save about $500 labor and have the satisfaction of doing it myself. But, then again, $500 goes pretty fast at the chiropractor and even quicker at the funeral home!

To save 500$ it's probably worth a shot. Hell I'll try anything once. Never had to do on on the floor. I've had the ease of using the lift :)

Attempted to replace front control arms on my A4, but discovered that I was shipped the wrong part. I love having to reassemble old, worn out parts.



Notice that the taper on the ball joint is different.

The 2.0.6.
I reorganized my shelves to make more room, rewired part of the stereo, took measurements for plywood. Cleaned off the work bench so that I can start working on my bike and trophy.
