had students help me design and build a master cyl mount and coil mounts for the chopper today . They will finish their designs tomorrow . Get a kick out of seeing how empowered they feel when I ask them "what do you think " and let them make what they/we feel is the best idea . I have a really nice coil mount shaping up and it was NOT the idea I had.

Busy couple daze here.  I spend a few hours a day on kitchen cabinet installation.  I use a wall mounted rail system Hang-it-yourself dot com product.

Upper cabinets on 2 walls are sorta done, only final trim out to be done.  Missing door you say?  Stripped hole in hinge mount. Tooth picks and glue is drying. 

3rd wall for cabinets is on the right , not seen in the photo.  I am waiting for last cabinets for that wall. Suppose to be here end of next week.  LOL

Base cabinets begin thursday.

I burned some landscape debris this morning.  No police here again.  :shock:

Tuesday nite, I worked on my car trailer a bit. I made up 2 of the battery cables from the battery. Used my Harbor freight hydraulic press tool on the wire lugs.  I shortened the wire harness for the cable plug the the hand held control box plugs into.  Still Need to mount that cable plug.

Tired old guy I am ... LOL.  I sit down and nearly fall asleep for some reason?  weird

Cabinets are looking good, Tony.  You guys are getting to do all the fun stuff.  Last Thursday, I had the last stitches out of my eyelid surgery which was done in February.  Three hour round trip for 10 minute session.  Monday I went in to the local dermatologist (30 minute drive one way) and he cut a large hole in the top of my head, 5.2 x 3.5cm to get rid of a basal cell cancer.  Told me I have another bad spot right in front of that one that will have to be taken care of after this one heals.  Stitches will come out April 7.  Tuesday went in for a CT scan to see if the enlarged aorta they found last year got any larger; it didn't.  Then had to go for ultra sound on both legs to see if there were any blot clots.  Nope.  Good to go.

Took both vehicles in to Costco today to have all the wheels balanced and rotated, both done at the same time.  We walked over to Target to do some shopping, as we did shopping at Costco yesterday.  Takes them an hour and a half.  I guess they want you to spend time in the store to spend more money??  We're staying home tomorrow.

Finally took the time and finished the winch install on my car trailer. Built the last two power cables. Drilled hole for the connector to hand held controller.

Black square gizmo under the winch is the relay that powers the winch. All the wires run to this relay.  It works well.

Harbor Freight winch. I waited till it was discounted $$ a few weeks back.

As I recall? My old winch was a rate 4K ? It lasted 32- 33 yrs I guess. I doubt I will be around at age 105 to replace this winch if it lasts?
