decent day in the garage, today.  warm enough that i turned all the heat off.  some people were riding, today.  dave nolan rode in, actually.  got a new member (wife bought a guy a 1 month gift certificate).  marty and son jordan are here working on their quad.  jordan (big jordan) is here working on his IMS show bike.  dave nolan tooled around with his hardley and pj spent most of the day here with his teeny little suzuki thing.  al was here playing with that crazy goldwing.  had a call with scott at h garage.  ellen from the slovenian parade brought a friend in to see the place.  got a little bit cleaned up here and there.  got a haircut.  shipped the parts that jada removed from the harley frame.

still overwhelmed and underfunded, but at least i was kept busy enough to not dwell on the bullshit.

i'm not happy with the vaporblaster.  when it works, it works ok at best.  when it doesn't work, i get pretty damned annoyed.  that thing cost a small fortune.  and for that dough, it should wipe my ass.  it all too often has trouble with the window squirters, the water recirculation pump goes ape-shit far too often, and their customer service is severely lacking...  for that kind of money, we shouldn't have to continually monitor and make adjustments.  had we paid a grand for it, i'd be a little more understanding of how much work must be put into it to work properly.  but we paid WAY more than a grand.

why the hell can't i simply create a gift certificate?  why should that take more than 2 minutes to google and 5 minutes to make?  instead, i've wasted 20 minutes searching and no time making.  all the sudden i feel totally incompetent and wanna go to sleep.

hopefully can do something helpful with h garage and the kentucky kickdown.  i wish i had enough dough to sponsor shit, but i have zip.  the most i can do is be present and help promote online.  but that's not shit.  i wanna do more.

connected with the woman that runs the women's build show that lucky wheels is hosting this weekend.  i'm hoping that after the madness of it passes, we can discuss maybe having that show travel around to all the CMGs or something cool.  at the very least, i want her to have a similar show in skidmark.

head is spinning.  gotta get out of here.  i'm suddenly accomplishing nothing.
