Movin On Up

I was gifted about 2 hours of bike work time this month, so I started with moving the oil tank up about 3/4" to eliminate that gap. Instead of changing the mounts on the tank I modified the gearbox/engine brackets and my neighbor made me a threaded bung for the top mount. Next up is the seat!

Maxlandia

I've spent every spare moment (around 40 hours) in the last month repairing and painting Max's new play structure. I bought it for $150, all redwood, and had to dismantle it myself (with help from my buddy Tom). I had to cut 4" off each post due to rot, 7" off the swing A-frame support, and 6" off the ladder. I replaced a bunch of 4X4s and some roof components and went through 4 gallons of water sealant. This weekend she went up!
