Define "movable." Is that "movable under their own power?" Movable with the help of a truck and a ramp? Movable if in its current state it weighs less than a plant?

Also, get a floor dolly to move the plants and don't forget to lift with your legs!

(Last time I moved plants for a freeze there were herniated discs involved. )

Yes, it's my front patio entrance. I need to replace two of my star jasmine, though. I think the mason moved to Oregon. He made the gate too, but I need to re-weld it.

Buddy was a rescue from a dealer abandon. Now that it runs, I'm going to fit new tires and do the rest of the service to get it to 100%.

It had a new home lined up, but that appears to have fallen through. I was giving them the scoot for purchase+paperwork+tires+service parts...c'est la vié. Pretty sure I can do better than "homey hookup" and get less grief.

This is the way it works. Garage will resemble a greenhouse from Sunday through Wednesday. The bummer is we still have 45 days or so of potential freezing weather afoot. So, regrettably I can see myself having to do the scoot and plant dance all over again between now and mid March.

This, this is the bollucks I'm doing this weekend. Cape Cod in the winter. "Wanna try something different? Something worse? Try Cape Cod in the winter"

Friggin hockey tournaments…
My son is a first year Squirt level player. Which means his first year playing full ice. They played a AA team today. Tournaments are dumb. This other team won 10-0. They should not be competing against us. The levels from best to beginners go like so:
AAA
AA
A
B
C

Our kids feel like crap cause they got smoked by a team full of all second year players who are two levels above them. If our goalie wasn't 3' tall we may have done a bit better though.

Fixed my buddy's Creality Ender 3 (3D printer) and performed several upgrades. Used it as an excuse to get a DuPont connector kit and a decent crimper.

Still not sold on owning one myself, but I do want to try developing a reed block adapter so I can fit a Moto Tassinari V Force 3 reed into a late model PGO 50cc intake tract.

evidently, my self respect. a bit of mojo and the desire to maybe, possibly, find a part that I know I have rather than be a lazy little shit-bird and just order up a new one.

that lasted exactly 10min before I was fuming mad and cross-eyed from counting toofs.

and then it got cold and I lost any motivation what-so-ever I may have thought that I had. and grumbled some more about needing to find the heater and fill the propane tanks.

a productive evening all around!

Got to see the Barone 230cc kit in real life. Local is either having a midlife crisis or he really hit the jackpot. Guy has been spending money like he's allergic to it!

Missing a few things and built by RLC. Malossi cases, Malossi manifold, Polini IDM ignition and box exhaust, BGM crank and clutch, Dellorto 28mm flat slide carb. I've got two weeks to get this thing road worthy.

Tonight was just taking inventory and writing down what to buy (brakes, rear hub, dust plate, clutch cover etc etc).

Missing a few things and built by RLC. Malossi cases, Malossi manifold, Polini IDM ignition and box exhaust, BGM crank and clutch, Dellorto 28mm flat slide carb. I've got two weeks to get this thing road worthy.

Very cool looking kit.

Extremely tunable to much more power. Interesting to see how it sets up.

Kit of dreams... definitely in the top 3 dream cylinders.

Port layout looks great.

Surprised he didnt go for a 30mm carb and the barone exhaust that matches...

Wonder what the thinking behind that was.

And paper gasket looks on the thin side… I'd expect a aluminium gasket in there…

Very nice MJ - are you doing just the engine, or any other mechanical, and/or body work?
