Ammo boxes, Model T’s, Painting & Napoleon Dynamite… That’s some of what today held. My Uncle Lyle was looking at my trailer and saw potential for more… So, he commenced with the modifications. My new trailer is now quite spectacular; mostly the same, but so much cooler. I now have an ammo box attached to the side of it where I can store all of my straps and bungees, or whatever else I want. Also, with the extra side step on one side, my feet no longer dangle in thin air when I’m loading my bike. The side step has a pin in it for me to attach my ramp directly to it and use it for storage while going down the road. With a couple of bungees, I can attach quite a few things and free up lots of room in my car. Very convenient! As well, using some zip ties and just drilling a few holes, we attached the cord for the lights to the side of the trailer, running them down the line of it. Very slick. No more having to worry about running it around the bike and having it flap in the wind! Just hook it up and go.
Later in the day, my Uncle Lyle, Buster and I went for a little ride in the model T. That was great fun since I hadn’t ridden in it yet. Even though it was a bit of a chilly day, I thoroughly enjoyed myself. It’s not every day that a person gets to ride in a model T!
And finally, I painted some more. I really enjoyed the little prototype that I created during my time in the yurt outside of Glacier, so I ran with that on a larger scale. Though it could use a bit of work yet, I like the concept overall. It feels good to paint.
To finish off the day, we had some dinner and settled in to watch Napoleon Dynamite. Believe it or not, my Aunt & Uncle have seen that movie almost 30 times… Crazy!
I guess there’s not a whole lot for me to report today, just a few items of interest to me… And maybe some other crazy out there!
