week-end

Last night there was a neighborhood get-together... I have to admit, i really did not want to go, and just sit on my butt and watch survivor man, but i am glad we went! Lots of fun... Tonight i guess we will get some stuff together to build our little guy a outside "area." It should be easy enough, especially if we can get the guy at Lowe's to saw the wood on there giant machine, Otherwise i'll have to fire up the little guy and go for it. I cleaned up some stuff in the shop yesterday, It still needs a few hours of work but it's a start. There were some exhaust parts i could not bring myself to throw away, but i parted with some bike wheels, and a few old junky frames that i had planned to build a tall bike out of... The 165/45 tires came in the mail, those suckers are SMALLLL it's hard to believe that they will actually fit on the wheels, they are at least an inch shorter that the ones currently mounted/ pictured below...

If i ever finish the bus there are a few things that i would like to try and make;

1. Tall bike #4 (furry)

2. A bike with a side car, (in order for this to be worth doing the person in the side car would have to have the ability to help propel the apparatus. ) This is something that i have been thinking about for a while, I have some plans i drew up a few months back, i just can't remember where they went to.

3. I had a lawn mower engine that i wanted to make chopper/ bicycle with a car rear wheel/ tire
but i threw it (the engine) away. i may re-visit that. It would be realllllly funny!

4. kit the scooter, it runs great now though so no real reason to mess with it.

5. I would LOVE to get a 63 or older bus that isn't trashed and restore it.

6. I also would not mind getting a vw square back, Melissa would look good driving that.

7. Price is making a RC air boat, I think it sounds cool.... I would make a rocket boat.

8. Another potato cannon, after thinking about it the "silencer" idea may be kind of stupid, but it would look cool and i need to at least give it a try. Those birds flew over yesterday, they know that there is a problem with the current cannon, we need to be ready.
