Whew, exhausting morning, physically and emotionally.

I cleared out, boxed up, cleaned swept and dusted one of the upstairs bedrooms, the one where I’ve just been dumping all my late husband’s stuff.

I have an appointment for SA to pick it all up. They’re the only ones local who’ll do it, and it’s more than I can load and haul off. They’re coming next month so I have time to purge a lot more in the meantime. Feels good.

Plus, I set the room up as my sewing room, so I feel like I got a reward for all the effort. And, I got my dining room back, so double bonus.

Still much to do, House first, then garage. But it’ll fee up a lot of space for what’s important, like my growing vape collection! :)

Good for you! I actually just hired a professional organizer as I can’t seem to get it done myself and the clutter is really starting to bother me.
Enjoy that sense of accomplishment, you deserve it![emoji4]

dreamer firing pin change. arcing issues with the pyramid pattern that's fitted by default as reported by others. still very interested in the keen.
I swapped out mine for the spare with the flat surface, too. He said something about how that knurly one was supposed to give better contact and that's why he designed it that way. Most users disagreed on that. Personally, I don't notice much of a difference in the way the mod fires but the flat pin does seem to limit the pits on my battery contacts.

All of my family are bikers. All my brothers own vintage Indians. A few years ago they did a road trip to the keys. Turned a lot of heads, lol.
I love Indians! Have you or any of your family ever come to Milwaukee for any of the H-D anniversaries? They're a blast of a time. The parades are fun. The parties all over town. We always volunteered in the Miller tents serving beer (free beer for us) and met many super wonderful people. Indian bikers come as do other bikers with their vintage rides (all bikers are welcomed). Always see so many cool bikes walking up and down the closed off streets. Folks come from all around the globe and some ship their bikes. I don't ride...can't (long story).

My neighbor has a Harley Davidson 1948 Knucklehead which he's had since he got it in '77-'78.

One summer my wife and I were at their place for a cookout and my wife asked how difficult is it to turn over. My neighbor said hop on and if you can start it I'll give you a Franklin. My wife was a tiny little woman maybe 5' 3" but strong so she tried to start it in her tennies. She couldn't start it. Chuck hops on and one kick...vrooom, vrooom! My wife says "it has to be the shoes, Chuck give me your g** damn shoes" and he hands them over and again she tries and tries - no go. She was always a wild feisty one. So funny!

I know the drill...picture or it never happened. Here it is and note his shoes on her feet they look so funny. She's prolly laughin' her buns off from the great beyond at this!!!

This Indians are gorgeous. I actually recently saw an add for them. Beautiful beautiful machines. What a dream tide that must’ve been!!!
I know this must feel good. I have a sewing machine set up in one of my spare rooms and love it. The only thing I hate it, because sewing is a lost art, most of my friends will come to me with things they want/need done. I just want to do projects, not hem clothes. I am currently making baby blankets. That and whimsical leather and silver ocean inspired necklaces with sea glass.

That’s the thing, if someone knows you have a talent, they expect you to do it for them. I never should have told anyone I knit socks. My mom thinks I should make them for the whole family for Christmas. Takes me a week to do one pair, and there are about 60 of us now.

Or they tell me to sell stuff. I don’t do this for a job. This is me having fun. If I wanted a job I’d go get one, a lot more profitable than anything I could do from home!

noticing less arcing too. also easier to clean. know you're getting the matte keen. do report on what you think. that's the finish I'd be going for also. another dreamer would be cheaper buti like the look of the pin on the keen. not sure how it'd fit my hand though.

Seems like it would fit pretty well in almost any hand the way it's designed with that tilted center ridge. I'm feeling like a dope for not pulling the trigger on the matte black Keen I had in my cart on Stan's site earlier in the week. He had seven in stock, I snoozed on it overnight and they were gone the next day. I've been scanning for other vendors to restock all week to no avail. Womp womp.

I’m 5’ -0- I cannot kick an Indian, but I have kicked a Harley. Unfortunately I cannot reach the ground so that’s all I can do lol.

Did I mention, 4 big brothers? Yeah, my kick game is in a league of its own.

And since were doing two wheeled shiny things, that’s a picture of Ol’ Smoky, my late husband’s bike. Sold her to my brother and I go visit now and then.

I need to do 'all that' with much of my late wife's things. Same here with SA. I'm in no hurry and not ready. I feel like when I'm ready I will know. Some of her friends keep buggin' me with the whole "I'll come over and we can go through it together" her sisters are the worst - I'm sorry but no. I know their hearts are in the good place but still.
