Veterans Day, Fall clean up, Enchiladas and bonus last picture.

Thank you veterans.


My cousin and I are friends on Facebook, we haven't seen each other in "real life" since sometime in the mid '70s. Back then I spent my time riding motorcycles and swimming. Tim is a little younger and  he liked swimming. We never stayed in touch and while I was riding motorcycles he got a PHD at Columbia.
On Veterans Day he posted this picture on our Grandfather in his Navy Uniform from WWI. Our Grandpa Law died when I was young and I never knew he was in the Navy. Thanks Tim for this knowledge, thanks Veterans for protecting our rights including the ability to share our thoughts and beliefs in this world of social media and instant communication...and thanks to whoever thought up "sexting."

We spent the weekend cleaning and rearranging the Orange shop to accomodate some winter projects. Lori's going to finish the TR25W. She got started on it last winter but didn't get any real traction. She's spent a little time learning about electrical systems and made some decent headway the other night.
Lori making room her Triumph stuff.


This Bates jacket and Yamaha YM-1 are a good match, they're both too small and they smell like smoke! 

Much sought after and highly desired BMW drill press.


Tonight is Enchilada night. The chile sauce and beef have been simmering for hours and as soon as I finish this post I'll be making tortillas! You'll have to wait to see the finished product.
Instant Enchilada mix: Fire roasted Hatch chiles, masa for the tortillas, avocado (side dish), toasted pepitas, and dried anchos. Just add a carmelized onion, a couple pasillas, some jalapenos, your favorite meat and cook!  

This is the kind of stuff people complain about on Yelp. It's not spaghetti sauce with cumin, it's New Mexico style Red Chile sauce...it's nasty!




Here's your bonus picture! It's Hippodrome Studio's Numbskull #7. Jeff Decker casts these and other "Mascots" in limited quantities. They are sculpted and individually finished by Jeff Each has his thumbprint to prove it and This is the last one! $700 includes shipping to USA locations.

Mike Hodis of Rising Sun Jeans hosted a post Inspiration party Sunday with all the trimmings. Rising Sun hand crafts denim and work wear on antique sewing machines using traditional techniques and the highest quality materials. Mike's passion for quality is only rivaled by his knowledge and skill. Took the R100S out Santiago Canyon to try out the new throttle cables...they work, and had lunch at the Silverado Cafe . This place is pretty good. It reminds me of the cafes found in small towns far away from California. The waitress was real nice, the food was good, and lunch was less than $10 including coffee! I'm going to try breakfast next time. Cafe Racer Lunch Counter at Silverado Cafe I was honored to be allowed to drink from Rosemary's pretty cat mug. We got more Schott 141 Cafes and 689H Retro Horsehides. We're still waiting for  Women's One Stars. The NHRA Winter Nationals were this week and I hung around the

Pantera motor spotted at Belmont Shores car show today. Thanks for humoring me. This is a test for the mobile blog thing. It finally worked! Since you're here...this car really had a gold plated drivetrain and lots of trim including custom made bumpers. Believe it or not it looked really cool in a strange way. Here you go Barbary Buzzard. Lori got better shot of engine compartment. and the bumpers.

Lucky Triumph Last week's Triumph troubles are turning out to be a pretty good thing...if you're the Triumph. Lori's been wanting to do something with it for awhile and said, "Since it needs a battery I might as well take the gas tank off and see about paint." So the battery's here, the tank and rear fender are off, she's shopping for a tail light assembly, and pondering some paint options. Here's a few pictures of her tearing it apart after we siphoned the gas out of it. Here's a few more with the color turned on. Agriculture Report The seedlings were transplanted into their new pots Saturday. Lori knocked the bottoms out of the eggshells and planted them with Marigolds to help repel insects. They're taking well to their new homes and look like they've grown in the last twenty four hours! More at  www.townhomesteader.com   Crazy Old Jeep This Jeep caught my eye while fueling up last wee
