Antiquated awesome

I wish the cheesy reporter would shut his yap hole, but...these guys are awesome

Tilly

 Git behind the mule...

...in the morning and plow. Starting a small farming operation this year so I thought we could use some mule brand farming equipment. Got this old Craftsman Tiller off kijiji and had it turning dirt again the next day. Tilly is now preparing our fertile ground for some heritage seeds.

XTra dirty

 

I think I'm really getting the hang of this XT. Took it out to the snow dump yesterday to see what the mud situation was like...it's muddy. Heavy thick clay based-get your boots stuck-don't drop your bike because its sinks like quicksand- kinda muddy.

Another one gone

The classic country men are thinning out. See them if you can, while you can.

The old DT250

 

So remember how I sold the DT250 to Chuck and Dirk for them to part out? Yeah well, Chuck decided to do something rad with his half...

With or without you springtime...

Had a little incident riding home from band practice last night. Snow storm, headlight went out, almost ran out of gas. Got home safe and sound to my little igloo. That's right crappy winter weather I got home alive, you lose!!

Note the ice packed into my ears here.

Garage Artists

A bit of video from the Garage Artist's Keepin' it Greasy event in Barcelona. I had a few videos playing as part of the film festival here. Looks like it was a good time.

Clutch slaying

 

Had this guy help me slay my clutch issue in the shovel last night. Stoked to say that tranny is clicking like she should now. Thanks for the gremlin session, Brian.

UPDATE: Gremlins return!!! AAAAHHHHH!!!!!!

Head werk

Picture of my Panheads in progress at Jason Parker's shop in TO. He's only got 2 shovels, a pan and 3 other sets of heads to do at the same time. Hahah. Can't wait...but will.

Taking spring by force III

Cyclemania sucked. Fun Motor Group bought up all the dealerships and then got all Bible Belt about it being an HA event and didn't show up. Sooo it was dead.
So I totally came home and rode my XT around town all day. Through alleys and up Spadina had a blast.

 

Went over Kenny's and helped him dig out a bike (I mostly just drank beer) and then we pulled his boat out. Because we here in Saskatchewan consider this to be right on the cusp of boating season.

Take spring by force II

 Sometimes you just have to say enough is enough and take spring any way you can.

Ready to roll

 

The shovel is ready to roll off the bench again after a few change-ups, both practical and fashionable. Now if the snow would ever release my street I'd be able to give her a shake down. Pray for warm weather.
