    I'm about to come out of hibernation!

    I was curious to see if anyone else packs up their shop in the fall and takes a break over the winter. I live in Wisconsin and my work space isn't insulated so it is very difficult to get anything done when it is 10 degrees. But, what comes around goes around, and the warm weather is coming...

    I am starting to realize that I have a disease

    This hobby may be turning into something infectious and possibly contagious. :? :? :? :o My dad was at an auction today and got me 10.5 bikes. they probably will fill my storage cup to the brim or over. I am hoping to tear off some of the good things and distribute the rest. Not much in...
