What are you working on? (Besides your offroad vehicle)

[4WALKER]

everyone knows you don't clean old coins. I'm sure it's still worth a pretty penny though.

I looked it up first. Best case scenario with the condition it's in I was looking at 30 or 40 dollars. Said fuck it because I'd rather clean the years of dog and human stuff off it to see the details. Hell that's just a half ass clean. I plan on making that fucker shine. By the time my son wants to do anything with it, it will have a tarnish on it again. Oh yeah we're having a boy lol.

Haha. Awesome. Boys are somewhat easier in than girls. You only have to worry about one dick instead of all of them.

Congrats! That's awesome news. Boys are always ideal to have first. (I had my girl first)
So time to get that little guy a dirtbike lol

Made a PVC rocket for the kids today. Kept it super simple.
We had a lot of fun with it until we had a blow out in the rocket. At first we started with a 24” long tube and 20 psi. Was way too heavy and wasn’t able to slide down the tube all the way, so we cut it in half and doubled the pressure. Definitely made it more fun getting about 50’ or so up. We worked our way up to 75 psi and got it another 40 feet or so. In the beginning we were pouring water in the top tube thinking it would create more velocity but it just wasn’t going as high as I was expecting. Probably due to more mass. I tried it once without water and that fucker probably shot close to 200’! Super impressed. Next shot we blew up the rocket lol. We made a new one but it got dark before we could use it.

fun little project for the kids. I of course had a blast with them as well.

Partially got rid of the tree that killed my fence, shed and deck during the last storm a month or so ago. Ducking tree service’s wouldn’t bother with my little tree problem

Fixed the deck. Now needs wash and paint.

Still need to deal with the remainder of tree, shed and fence.

Had this happen 3 years ago:

So I went from that to this:

(chain ripped a hole in the motor)

Got it TIG'd.

Eventually back together:

And now working on finishing it:

Gotta paint the tank and reinstall the crash cage so I can sell it in the spring for a dual sport.

Finished this:

And bought this:

Thankfully the most part of a "Project" it's been is gathering all the tools/making a kit for trail side repairs. I have some plans for some minor aesthetic stuff and adding a little more tool storage, but keeping it simple and mostly riding it.

I'll pick up another sport bike at some point, but track is just as expensive as wheeling and I've got enough going on with two rigs as is. Haha.
