Time for something new in the project pile

I'm looking for a 54 Chevy 2 door in original condition. I would consider any 2 door , so long as the body is original and not rusted to pieces. This is what has me fired up. If you know where there is any old iron sitting, let me know. The right car has to be out there somewhere.

Bring on the BBQ !!

 Pork "butts" with a dry rub, and cooked low and slow over hardwood lump charcoal. I cooked these for 17 hours. We pulled them apart and they were crazy tender and moist. The "bark" on the outside combined with the moist tender meat makes for an unbeatable flavor. 

Beef Brisket "burnt ends" cooked over hardwood lump charcoal. This only took 6 hours to cook. It was the point of a brisket that I saved from a (packer) brisket cook the weekend before. I have never tasted beef as tender and moist as this. It was delish to say the least.

Feels like a Tom Waits day today

"Look how he worked around the hinge" !!!  That's funny! Unbelievable musician, and funny as hell.

Here's some XS650 goodness. This guy has it going on!

I can't wait to get mine done! Rephase means the timing of the crank rotation is changed. In stock form the crank is set to have one piston at top dead center, and the other piston at bottom dead center. With the rephased crank, one piston is at top dead center, and the other is at mid stroke. The result is a smoother running motor that responds to throttle changes much quicker. Now I just need to find some time to finish it up. I hope to be popping wheelies by spring time.

This cracks me up

I need to see The Big Lebowski again soon!!

Let's get this started

I'm likely going to post a random collection of thoughts and interests. Hopefully anyone stumbling on to this blog will find something of interest, or something that peaks their curiosity. To get this started, I'm posting a picture one of my buddies sent me from Sturgis last night as I was going to bed. Look at all that PBR. Enjoy!
