Come to Daddy!

Been holding out for a long time on getting a lathe but its finally time to bring it on home. I’ve got the garage insulation, sheet rock and heating in the mix so that my equipment doesnt just waste away. This lather is gonna come in real handy with my old printing equipment too. I cant count how many times I’ve had to call in a last minute favor to get something milled, drilled or lathed to get one of the presses back up and running. Dig it. Real pics coming soon. By the way… check out the South Bend site. Tons of really great information to keep folks on track. Knucklebusterinc has a bunch of great posts on the subject too.

Garage Love

RL sent me some pics he grabbed from a few weeks back. We were kicking around the garage putting that xs back together and working on a few Pabst. Cold or not, gotta get out there and keep those projects on track. Show some garage love. On a side note, I’m usually the one taken the pics. Kinda weird seeing myself for a change.

Flat Track – Dirt Track & Board Track Racers are a topic of personal interest for me. Here are some photos I’ve collected over the past. I cant remember where most of them came from. Also, a reminder; flattrackmn.org has brought back racing to northern MN. All sorts of classes to run in so get your sh*t together and lets do some racin’.

Flat Track – Matt Holm and the Hot Shoe

Someone recommend I watch this video. I did. It’s cool. Matt Holm is doing his thing around the track. Some really great shots including a lot of live close-ups. Dig that hot shoe. It was like watching a deleted scene from Little Fauss and Big Halsy. Welcome to the chopper blog.
