          Lol....thanks. My wife says to me yesterday as she watched me vacuum my garage floor...."hey, jerk face, how about picking your laundry up off the floor on your side of the bed before you vacuum your garage"???

So this morning saw me look at the new (metal this time) rails, and start poking around a box of o-rings to test fit. Very complicated and strenuous work I didn't complete before heading into work.

                  Something about trying to be productive before finishing coffee. And distracting dogs.

                  Here's to more progress over the weekend.
                  Well, more than a weekend, thanks to much excitement with animal drama (I raise sheep on the side) and now a lack of a day job, but the bike is now running, but not for long. Seems like a lack of fuel from my sketchy aux tank setup, so maybe I should have bought brand name from the start. So tomorrow is for checking local shops before ordering from MotionPro.

                  Job drama means I'm adding more ewes come spring, and have committed to starting back up breeding rabbits. Go big or go home? Also no day job reduces the motorcycle use. Any regular transportation usually involves a young dog that otherwise would be crated. And I'm a sucker for hauling dogs around.

                    I have a couple of those motion pro Aux tanks and can spare one if you want, just shipping. I'd give you the one with the little hanger anchor hole broken but I'm sure you could fix it, rig up some solution involving glue, duct tape and baling wire. From one 'lack of a day job' guy to another.
