Setting Up

• Why is moving in so much more difficult than moving out?

  So the VAR truing stand (freshly repaired with a custom fabricated axle mount, courtesy of the Liam) is reassembled and lives right where Barack's desk was not four short years ago. May the wheels built on this trusty truss prove as blessed as our famous neighbor's political career. Meanwhile, every last hand tool seems to have found its way into mysterious corners of the shop, making any semblance of service preparedness downright laughable. So don't expect any decent mechanicals for a few weeks.

  Other than that, little has changed. The ceiling is sound, the bathroom tidy, and the half-kitchen stocked to the brim with juices and Gelosteiner. I guess I can't ask for much more than that during the build out.

  June 1 has a nice ring to it, and so I'll call is a grand opening. Or a target anyhow.
