So you're living in a tent, chit in a bucket, bad Pond habit no doubt, and clean up with a brush. Why don't you take that credit card and get a room?

So is the Black Biotch out of the water for the season?

Or will it be around this weekend for another shot at the Formula?

Dave

Still floating. Waxed this afternoon, rather........."Minted out" and ready to roll. We are going to Samanthas moms tomorow am, plan to roll her out early sunday and get back here, there, by noon to burn some gas. Probably pull it next week. So you can have another look at the transom of the Biotch before the season is over.

Guess I should have had the butt cam on....Would have been a nice view for you to see it running BEHIND me.

I'm here...come get it!

Dave

I HIGHLY doubt that.

though I do believe the "built and (then) torn apart" order as you put it.
this is the usual course of trying to figure out how you phukked up the build in the first place.


I was tearing my first minibike down to the frame on my own regularly to repair it/clean it when I was 7
(you know the one I bought with the dollar a day I'd get paid for hanging around on the farms on the two sides of us trying to move bales of hay that wieghed more than I did)
I used to bring it in pieces into the house and use the bathtub for a parts washer when my parents weren't home- made my mom go ballistic more than once when she found the aftermath.
I R&R'd my first jug/piston in a snowmobile at 9 with help...
(from my 9 year old buddy)
basically grew up otherwise on the farm where tearing chit apart and fixing it was regular everyday fare
in my late teens as a dabbler in paying jobs as a auto mechanic (was going to go down that career path) who had previously completely overhauled his first TH-400 at 16. The powerglide in my '65 Imala SS was cake after the 400 (it was alot lighter to lift onto the bench too!
and then in my early 20's, by then with a half dozen modified cars behind me, a CNC machinist and set-up specalist in an aircraft shop (well...rocket and missle pumps/starters actually) who spent plenty of time troubleshooting both manufacturing set-up and part/assembly performance...which as you well know you gotta pull it apart when it fails and figure out why.
...that is when I wasn't holding half-thousandths tolerances on a 3 spindle 90 tool CNC working aluminum investment castings...
dozens and dozens of toys from F-bodies and Corvettes to bikes, sleds, and 6 boats now...even that Sea-Doo wasn't stock.
I guarantee you I've had more just sleds in pieces than you have had toys total.
more in numbers "than you ever will"
that I have done a great majority or all of the work on myself from typical service/repairs and mild mods to complete frame-offs

pretty bold statement there management-boy
do more homework next time.

and the end event of any of my work has never been the fire dept arriving on scene.

check?

what's a check?

oh...those things you "stroke your pen" over to impress the lesser folk...

or are they the bullschitt your mouth writes and your diminutive azz can't cash?

there's passive/aggressive mouth-piece at it again.

We all know that silver spoons, fat inheritances, insurance monies, coralling a woman with a six-figure job or other can lead to "discretionary income nirvana".

A different kind of man takes pride in making it all happen/keeping it all going by himself without such props/crutches.
I've spent the last decade making it solo, solely responsible, and accountable to no one.

A different kind of freedom...
than the one your money provides...

Question?
Why would anyone who has "made it" want to, or tolerate living in a hood where your told what you can/can't do?
or spend 20 years in a tiny apartment above a small-town storefront?

you need the structure?
is there status in conformity?
afraid to spread your wings?

on-the-rag likes to brag up his money (regardless of where it came from (see more than one but not all of the above)...

I occasionally brag a little too...
about the quality of the work I do with my own hands, and my efforts to make the most of the little that I do have.


hmmmm....
guess that's what makes us different huh?

OK, let me get this straight, drink until 3:51am, post until 4:30am....................

































CHECK!

Ditto!

Check.

Having done my homework. In response to the comment on the other thread.............................

I believe that the motor deal, agreed to be cash paid when motors taken as was mine with Doug, was a case of writing a check your a$$ did not cash. I do recall your phone call and your knowing / assuming that being a "with it dude" I would for sure would understand that you just could not pass on the "killer deal" on that new sled. Honestly, I never really did understand that deal, but you had already "taken advantage of the opportunity that had been presented". Where did that leave me? But to sit and wait. Anything to help a friend, right? But no "check". Hmmmm..............guess that's what makes us different, huh?

You were paid within a week or so, admittedly I was a little pizzed after the trip and might have been "holding out" due to that issue, and I did make you ask for it. I believe that check was cashed without any problem, was it not? However it was not the fall to spring dragged out deal you pulled on me. Nuff said? Do your homework.

I did thank Andrea for writing me the check that early summer day in the parking lot at HBW. It was a good check!
