Resurrection

Dragged this thing out of the shed last night -- took a lot of digging...I had buried it in there because I decided I wouldn't ride it any more until it got a new paint job...silly me...it's just too nice not to ride, and anyway, there's still more paint than rust, so what's the hurry?

Also letting the guilt get to me, so I tore down a couple of other bikes to get them repainted, for other folks...friend Jeff figures he will have his paint booth together soon, so I'll buy the paint he needs for his own projects and piggyback...hope he has an impact wrench to tear out the stuck cartridge bb...

Home with a cold today -- maybe I'll get Fenderwoman's wheels built for the 650 conversion...what the hell, it's raining anyway, and the finished bike will have fenders, as it properly should...not the sort of anniversary gift she will swoon over (details) but more fun than shopping for baubles...besides, she already got new binoculars for her birthday last month -- how much can a guy do?
