Come on how cold is it. Run out there and snap some photes. Do I have to go to facebook to see pics.

Strodder · 01-12-2013, 10:21 AM

It's 25 this morning. It looks almost the same but is fitting better. I was making some progress, when my wife came out and said it's time to go to her brothers house for dinner. FOOD WINS!!

daverod · 01-12-2013, 01:50 PM

Oh yeah, my bike fired right up too, and even went on a ride with 4 other guys this morning.It was 22 degrees.

daverod · 01-12-2013, 08:58 PM

Great to see you still getting out.

22 but it's a dry cold so it's not as bad.

It's true, just like a dry heat. The damp cold goes right through you. .

66-PMD-GMC · 01-13-2013, 12:52 PM

OK, yeah.... you really road a bike in that cold?
Your a way better man than me..

For me, no matter how you cut it .. the cold sucks...
I'll take my desert heat over cold any day..

Just adding my 2 cents

If you dress right, it's not too bad.

Look at the wind chill factor, and we were doing 70mph

Strodder · 01-13-2013, 09:12 PM

Got some more done on the tail lights today.
Still have to trim and fit some more.

Alan's Classic · 01-13-2013, 10:09 PM

Cool progress Dennis, keep it up!!

Strodder · 01-13-2013, 10:31 PM

Thanks Alan. I'm on a roll, because work is getting thin.

Alan's Classic · 01-13-2013, 10:42 PM

Your just too fast, I can't keep up.

FAST??? I'm very slow now compared to when I was on commission. No incentive to haul butt any more.

daverod · 01-14-2013, 09:45 AM

By the hour is easier on your body for sure. You never wanted to be rich anyways. Enjoy the day without any money.

Strodder · 01-14-2013, 11:43 AM

I would never work for hourly. I made a lot of money being on commission. And after having my own business', I'll NEVER work for another person. (Except for the old lady)

I am with you there!
Once upon a time there was a homegrown movie made in Spokane called "Only a Buck" in this movie the hero interviews a hobo and asks him why he lives that way, his reply:

Quote:

"The only real life I have is the life of my brain. It makes no sense to turn that brain over to someone for eight hours a day for their personal profit on the assumption that I will get my brain back in an unmolested manner. I can choose to labor for someone else's profit, or I can labor for my own profit. I didnt need to go to six years of college to figure out that equation."

As soon as I wrap up my last 18 months of my Military career, I plan on fully engaging this philosophy (as you have) and living it to the hilt.
My plan is not to make more money when I retire, but to need less.

Tail lights look awesome too by the way.
I also have caddy lamps I am going to install, but mine are off a 68 Deville....

Yup, But it's hard to need less when you have been used to living high on the hog. Workin on paying off everything but the house. We only have a $500 a month mortgage, and that's a good write off. Then I can work on my truck full time.

amen !!!!!!

daverod · 01-14-2013, 05:18 PM

I thought you said you work by the hour now?

Not even for "One million dollars an hour"?

"You don't miss what you don't have." my motto.

watahyahknow · 01-14-2013, 06:19 PM

seen a small show about people living in realy small homes build on trailers , usually there seasonworkers that park their home near to the job and live there as long as needed
