Working on some metal sculpture designs. I think I need to get some small metal scraps and small gears and such to start working. It might be easier to work in reverse. I keep trying to work out my ideas and end up struggling to find what I need. Maybe I should just gather a bunch of random stuff and see what I can make out of it.

I am starting to feel as though I am full of self doubt and frustration. It is a rather annoying feeling. I come up with all sorts of great plans and ideas but I don't seem to be able to achieve my goals. Maybe it is my fate to be in a constant state of sailing against the wind. I will try to keep my chin up and continue on but it is becoming increasingly more difficult.

You might enjoy Harlock: Space Pirate. It's a cg anime but pretty well done.

I just watched the movie Expelled from Paradise which was pretty good. I also binge watched the first season of Ajin which isn't really a sci-fi anime but it is still a very interesting show.

Here is a quick rough sketch I did today for a rat rod motorcycle I would like to build, minus a gas tank. It will change a bit based on what I can find since rat rods are build from random scavenged parts but I am planning on building the frame from scratch. Please forgive my bad drawing skills.

I know some of us like to build things or just have ideas for really cool projects. I figured we could have a section to share ideas and possibly help each other out with ideas or advice. Who knows what we could accomplish if we work together?

Maybe you should try some insoles for your shoes.

Relaxing a bit after work. It was a pretty rough night for me. I guess they were pretty busy for dinner and they made a bit of a mess for me to clean up. blah.

I am feeling like I am stuck on a treadmill and when I try to run to get off of it, someone cranks up the speed. I think I am at least heading in the right direction. I just need to get off the treadmill if I actually want to get where I want to go.

South Park Bigger Longer and Uncut.

I am working on ideas for my rat rod chopper motorcycle idea. The main thing I am trying to figure out is how far do I want to rake the front forks out, for those who don't understand the terminology I am referring to how much of an angle to put on the support for the front suspension to extend how far the front tire will be from the frame. A long rake will make it look pretty cool and very old school Easy Rider style but it will also reduce my turning radius and make it challenging to control. I know I want to raise and stretch the front of the frame while lowering the back and making room for an extra large cruiser tire for the back. I want to use a hard tail frame meaning that there is no swing arm or suspension for the back. I would like to make a coffin shaped gas tank for it but that may be an idea for future alterations. For now I should really focus more on getting a rolling frame together and gathering the pieces for the drive train. If anyone would like to contribute ideas or know of where I can get parts cheap, please feel free to let me know. The bike will be named Zombie Hunter btw.

Of course I would also be cool with a drop top rat rod. lol

A motorcycle that didn't need any work done to it. It would be a great day for a ride.

Not sick but not well either. I couldn't get to sleep until around 9 this morning and then I had trouble staying asleep. I need to figure out some way to get a decent sleep schedule or something.

Worn out, sore, and my leg is killing me. The sad thing is that I am not tired. I hate it when you work so hard that you get physically exhausted but your still wide awake mentally. Seems to happen to me frequently.

Just got home from work and am now watching the Number 23 and eating McDonald's again. What an exciting life I live. lol

Well.... It's 4:30am and there isn't really anything good on tv. I guess I will try to head to bed and see if I can get to sleep before 7am for a change.

That's good country cooking. Just wait until I perfect my rivels. I am sure I don't need to explain what they are to you since you have family down south. Then we will have some awesome soups to add to my recipe collection.

Trying to relax after work and watching tv. Nothing really good on at the moment but it is still sort of background noise. I sort of hate the fact that even my animals are asleep when I get home from work.

Just got home from work and about to eat some McDonald's. It's kind of funny that I can cook all kinds of good, healthy, and fairly quick foods but I still resort to stopping for dollar menu items on my way home. lol

I have the feeling that gravy may last you a little while. lol. You can always freeze some or use some cream and butter to thin it out a bit and add veggies to turn it into a soup.

Currently relaxing a bit after work. My leg has been giving me issues so even a fairly easy night ends up being more difficult than it needs to be.

I can't wait for the day that will no longer have to redneck things to keep them working. It will be a great day when, if something breaks, I can just get it fixed properly or replace it. Someday it will happen. Maybe I am just daydreaming. lol

That's cool. You might want to bring a container to take food home in. It can be messy, just like any good country cooking should be. lol

I think I am ready for a nap.
