Today was great. I got to sleep in, go for a run, do my laundry, watch some macgyver, and best of all I started to fix my moped. I took it to my friend Robin's house, where he has like twelve mopeds in pieces, and we stripped her down. IT was so much fun. I think I found my new hobbie. Now if i could just find someone who is really good at working on cars, and i had a garage and some money... it would be time to restore a 67 corvette!!
You can see in the pictures... the bike is susspended from a beam that holds up my neighbors garage. Then in the next picture you can see the little piston on the top of the enigine there. Yup.. that little 2 inch piston generates 2 horsepowers. Basically what happened was i took apart the engine and "freed" the piston which was frozen in rust.. oh how wd40 is my friend. It was great though, I felt like a mans man today. It was such a great feeling when that cylinder became free...the sense of accomplishment, right there in my very own 4 feet of a backyard.
Today was also great because it was my first real day off in a long time, so long i can't remember, maybe two weeks. Last week was phoenix with hall and oats. I didn't do anything i would normally do on a saterday, No one had anything planned and it felt great. Finally some Jon Mark time. Now i smell like wd40 and sweat...time for a shower.
