Finally got my hair cut today. The blade was almost too dull after that but I was able to finish up demo on the kids’ bathroom. May take the saw out to the garage and take a whack at bobbin’ the T. What do you guys think?

I think I have that same set of nail bags, though I rarely wear them anymore.

My wife, who's within earshot, pipes up immediately and blats out "Tool Belt". Oh, the things you learn after 23 years of marriage.Last edited by Rich82GS750TZ; 06-18-2020, 02:06 PM.Rich

Cleaned my air filter. That solvent smells terrible, next time Im doing this cleaning thing outdoors somewhere. Air filter looked good. But ontop of the air filter cage there is some spongy thing, that thing has dissolved. Any idea what that is called? Its like an oval shaped O-ring made of sponge. I need to fix it.GS1000G 1981

Front master cylinder is on (how does only 1 motorcycle shop in a 90 mile radius have crush washers?) and I swapped out the front brake pads on the Bandit. I'll fix the turn signal tomorrow and the body shop should be done with the fairing and side bag by Friday.Cowboy Up or Quit. - Run Free Lou and Rest in Peace

Bought myself an early Father’s Day gift today. After countless home improvement rewiring jobs, you think a fella would learn. Nope. Three old pairs going in the trash. I WILL NOT CUT LIVE WIRES!

Oh, so now I’m supposed to remember to use gloves when doing electrical work and not at the drill press? I think I got it.
