[QUOTE="Kismet, post: 400243, member: 8516"] Well, Folks... The weather forecasters are saying we're going to get some snow flurries and they may stay on the ground. It will warm up a bit, but we old guys find no joy in hopping in and out of snow/cold/warmer/windy/gonna-getcha weather. The RB is now positioned for Winter cocoon wrapping. I was going to squeeze it into the shed, but with a good wrapping, it will be fine. Probably the best care it has had in decades. :) Thank you very much, M and Pappy, for your encouragement and advice. There's some touch-up work to be done, and I'm eyeing the pulley wheels--one on each side under the cowl, and one in each rear corner, next to some tension springs as MAYBE something to consider next year. Of course, that would then encompass a steering wheel set up, another, bigger motor, and someone to rig the cables for me. Not the kind of time/labor/$ investment I'd envisioned when I took the old darling in. :? Whatever...that's the future; for today, I'm grateful to all the folks who wished me well on this project. Be safe. Have fun. =D> =D> =D> [/QUOTE]
