Oh happy day! I am in the shop so I have a few photos to post instead of the gratuitous "bump" garden photos and the preparation for makin' sammiches.

Here is my work space for now...


You will notice my hammer is bigger this year.


A bit rusty.. but I have reacquainted myself with the seasonal scent of PB Blaster...


I saturated all the nuts, bolts, etc in high hopes I will be able to dismantle without too much effort and or blood...then I can really get to work.

Next photos she should be on pieces...

So the Hammer is to keep Troy away from the Trike right ...

You will do fine and a little blood is always required in any build.

Right...and whose hammer is being used here! That sure does not look like me or my build... But you certainly let me use all your tools so fair is fair.


I found Thor's baby practice Mjolnir in the street last Christmas.

It is pretty simple really: Just do the opposite you did when taking it apart...

I was pretty convinced I was going to have to sand away the rust and paint my rims...

But a little of this....

And some more of this...

And I have shiny rims ready for some chrome polish....I am so happy that the rims cleaned up so well.


And a big thank you Jats for letting me use his birthday gift...I will post my pile picture by the end of the week I hope.
