Packing up the Indian Hiawatha with sidecar, the 50 Panther, 52 Hornet on the "new" bike trailer for the migration east to Maryland where I care take and spend the winter. Inside the jeep is the Orphan moped along with welder and boxes of bike and personal stuff (is there a difference?) and up top will go a cantilever Schwinn project and another AMF Roadmaster frame to be picked up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on Friday morning. The Hornet was sold and will be delivered to the buyer in Illinois Friday afternoon. This time next week I should be where I'm going, have the jeep unpacked and be ready to go again on the Indian Hiawatha project.In between packing I'm still dinking on the fenders, still finding high spots to tap down and fill with epoxy. It'l be worth it.
Hoping to meet up with Tinsmith, Tim Boelner, The Virginian and maybe Crazy Horse the following weekend for a group ride in Thurmont, Md. the weekend of Colorfest (October 8-9). Leaves are nearly gone here in northern Minnesota, but will just be turning where I'm going... makes for a long season of colored leaves, Jack Frost's Annual Art Show. Went fishing last evening as a farewell to Eagles Nest Lake... gonna miss this place of sky blue waters and ten thousand lakes, but where I'm going near Camp David is pretty nice, too. Lucky old boy to live in two beautiful places. I may be money poor, but I'm bike rich and nature rich, too. Later...
