Homer

For as I detest the doorways of Death, I detest that man, who hides one thing in the depths of his heart, and speaks forth another.

It's time to reread the Iliad. I'm currently rereading Tacitus. It's a shame that our society has deemed classical wisdom as passe. We've much to learn from Homer, Tacitus and others. It's one thing to scorn the building blocks of that which you despise and quite another to do so out of spite because you lack the ability to accomplish anything of worth.

Metal Polishing

A while back, Kim Boyle wrote up a great "How-To" on metal polishing. That "How-To" lit a fire under my butt to get my Ironhead looking a little better than it currently does. I'm not a big fan of dirt, perhaps I inherited my father's OCD.
Here's some progress I've made on the pipes. They aren't done yet. A little more time with the nylon brushes and Nevr Dull and the pipes will look pretty good.

Before:

After using my drill on this project I now understand why plastic tools have their uses. My old Black&Decker gets really hot after constant usage.

Motorcycle Poem

R2D2 & C3PO

Nothing much going on. Need to take off my S&S Super E to tweak it a bit. I think one of the jets may be clogged.









Oh, finally got around to buying a Born Free poster. One month till I have a new bike! Ha!
