                  Hey Ben,

                  We really need to find you a garage or shop to work in so you can quit working out in the driveway. I know it gets cold down there in the winter.

                    Weird story behind my working in the driveway all the time.....

                    While in Ephraim, I didn't have a garage, remember that? Where the bikes are now, I do have a garage, but I was competing with the nieces and nephews for garage space - they were doing a Halloween party in there! Can't have them stepping on my carb parts or bumping into things. So then I moved to the driveway, but then everyone wanted to play ball on the driveway, so I ended up on the sidewalk/grass. Lost a jet needle circlip as a result. Doh.

                    If ya' can't win your lady over to the idea of letting you spend all your time in the shop, bring her in there with you! That was the idea. I don't feel guilty for neglecting her if I can include her in the projects!

                    Hahaha....
