    I'd say the only manual semis we get coming in the shop are loggers/woods trucks coming in for their wet system. Anybody over the road pretty much is in an automatic.

    Just wrapped up all the painting. Everything cleaned up and and put away. Oulet covers all re-installed. Moved all furniture back. And, since snow is predicted for tonight, I parked the Green Bean in the garage.

    Estimated 4 days, took 3 long.

    Winter is back with a vengeance up here on the mountain. Blowing snow sounds like a freight train. Temp 15, wind chill -3.

    That was what it looked like when you retired right? Everybody in the shop helping get your enormous tool out of the shop?

    So...the Grean Bean is safe & clean in the garage, but I'm going to have to shovel the snow plow pile at the end of the driveway to get out of here later today.

    There's a john deer tractor parked under one of those portable shelter/garages. I'm tempted to go figure out how to fire it up and use that. It only has a bucket on the front, but it also has no driver protection...open cockpit. I'd probably have it done faster by hand versus messing around with that.

    Sure does look great. Man after my own heart. Addresses my *main* beef with *most* Harley's.

    Riding behind THIS is not my idea of riding. Yours is perfect, Mike. (and this one isn't nearly as monstrous as many)

    Happy Thursday.

    Yesterday ended up being a 14 hour day of bad food, keurig coffee and tap water. Oh! I did get $80 and the coke dealer (not) walked.

    The state did a shit job building a case and when "beyond a reasonable doubt" is the standard, there's just no way. It was cool to be on a jury and experience the process as a participant. I'm glad to have that under my belt, but I also have no interest in doing it again.
