My hiatus

Well my camping trip was fucking great, mothing quite like sleeping on the side of a mountain at 13,500 feet elevation to flip the reset switch. Unfortunately, as we unloaded all our gear, some ass hat took it upon himself to unburden me from my brand new bad ass phone that was sitting on the dash of the car... thank the gods for insurance, as long as you have their hundred dollar co-pay. We dropped back down to about 11,000 feet and found a gangster ass spot right by a creek for the rest of our stay and made the drive back to the top of the mountain to hike and snag some nice high elevation bouldering the following days.
So my phone has been replaced, the kiddo is back in Florida, work is staying busy and I finished the last few things on my list before dropping my frame off to have the hardtail welded on, which will be happening tomorrow. Pics are coming!!

Stator is off

Pull the rotor next. New wires and brushes and possibly points and it'll be time to see if it fires.

Fuck I hate packing for these trips, seems like every year the list of shit needed gets bigger and bigger.

So these are shoe molds from sears roebuck circa 1920's that they used to build shoes around, gonna see about turning them into brake/clutch pedals for the xs650 build.
