jada's been here working since 2.  she's swept, cleaned, organized, and is now removing the forward controls and rear brake from an old shovelhead to ship out.  love that girl.

jesse's been hanging out all day.  haven't seen him in a month or two.  looks like he may crash here for a few nights.  he's going through a rough spell.  i'm happy to help him out as long as he can keep his shit together.

tunes are blaring, jordan in wrenching, i'm cleaning...  the place is looking great.  got one more heater up and running in the lounge, the weather is above 6 degrees and the garage is warm.  jordan is working in a t-shirt.

ron came in to do some quick welding for tim.  alex from psi came in to make sure things were in line for the IMS show.  dude's snowmobile broke down while riding across lake erie last week.  he set up an ice fishing thing out there and fucking fished.  he said the ice was almost 18 inches thick.  fuck.  that.

so i'll be on the progressive stage 7 times during the IMS show.  i get 30 minutes each time to pimp out the garage.  making a powerpoint right now.  derek from thunder roads is hooking me up with a 10x10 booth, too.  thanks zeus!  otherwise i'd be wandering around all day.  there's no possible WAY i could afford to have a booth at the IMS show.  simply too expensive.  insane.  he saved my ass.

making fliers, ordered a few t-shirts, hopefully i can get stickers (but i doubt it).  now i gotta submit a guest list to the progressive people.  so i'm coordinating which members will be around for stage interviews on what days, etc...

al said he's coming in tomorrow to finish his goldwing - which i think i'll be bringing to the IMS show as a display piece.  it's pretty fucking cool.  pj said he's coming in, too.

the afterparty is happening here friday night after the IMS show.  it's invite only, so i can't imagine there being more than 60 people here, but we'll see how many najar brings in.  that dude rules.  he's really wanting to help this place succeed.

tim and janeen really helped spark the office clean-up.  it was looking like a full-on hoarder was shacking up in here.  now it's WAY better, although not done.  those two come in here and just knock shit out sometimes.  i love them.
