More progress...

Another trip to Vulcan today, and a little more progress. I built a canvas garage, which turned out perfectly! It's huge inside, I could park my truck in there if I was so inclined!
When we got out there, I found our little shed was blown over, and all our stuff was strewn here and there. I wasn't surprised, since it wasn't staked down. I was glad to see that it wasn't destroyed, however! It took about 20 minutes to fit it back together and put it back in place. Then we took some monster stakes and pounded them into the hard ground. After we attached the poles, we sunk the stakes right into the ground an inch or two. Let's see the wind get those out! Wait, no maybe I don't want to see that.
My good buddy Terry was out there to help me, and the work went fast, and I really enjoyed it! It's a nice drive, and we were chatting all the way about stuff. He and his family are going to move out there with us by next year, hopefully. The whole family is very excited to leave the city, as is ours.

I now have a cruiser motorcycle, which I bought yesterday. My other bike just wouldn't start, no matter what I did! Maybe with some more work I can get it going, but it's just not an appropriate bike for highway commuting. Too light, too tall. My new bike is a 94 Kawasaki Vulcan 750, sits nice and low, and has cruising pegs and can reach highway speed fast. I just need to transfer the registration over, and we'll be all good! I plan on fixing the old bike somehow, and selling it off. It was a nice bike, just not reliable enough for commuting.

I need to go now, and prepare some documents for the permit application, which I need to send TOMMOROW! I've waited too long already.
