Rust always Creeps





.
As I tarried down south, my neglected rigid project sat idle, the frame developing a coat of rust. So, with the engine hanging like a convicted horse thief, shrouded in mystery and greasy shop rags, I fabbed a small kickstand extension and wire-wheeled the frame back to bare metal. Then gave everything a coat of rattle-can primer to stop the bleeding. Not wishing to waste precious shop heat, I gave the 'Zuke a much needed oil change and sorted maintenance, hoping for some decent weather.

Soon... maybe?????

  3. 70 degrees today Whitey, but six inches of snow and a low of 5 degrees above tomorrow, weirdorama indeed.

    On the bright side, at least the Susie's oil filter is easy to get to without the phone booth rock guard, Larry.
