First Ride 2019

Today, my friend Luc and I got out for our first ride! We did a 400km loop that we have done many times before. Fredericton - Saint John - St. Andrews by the Sea and back to Fredericton.

Here's to an excellent 2019 riding season!

Well, things have changed over the last few months. First, I sold my beloved 2009 Buell 1125R and second, I just traded my 2013 Harley Davidson Street Glide for a 2018 Harley Davidson Street Glide Special. I was sad to see both bikes go, but I am thrilled with the new ride! I love the blackened out look and the accessories that I added. The accessories include:

Screaming Eagle High Flow Air Filter
Screaming Eagle Torque Camshaft
Screaming Eagle Fuel Pack
Rinehart Racing 4" Racing Pipes

2018 Harley Davidson Street Glide Special

The bike sounds awesome and the torque with the new cam is impressive! I look forward to putting many miles on my new ride!

Winter 2018

I really love where I live, but I do find the Winters rather long. Last year, I built a new garage/shop and this winter, I have really been able to take advantage of it.

To pass the time, I have been building some furniture and some small woodworking projects.

I have also been designing and building Growler Boxes and Beer Caddies for craft beer. There have been several designs that I have been working on. I have given a few away to friends and they seem to really like them.

Second Growler Box Design

The beer caddies for bottled and canned beer have gone through a few design iterations. I experimented with different styles of sides, open sides and solid sides.

For finishing, I used a Minwax Walnut Stain and several coats of Minwax Polyurethane. I am very pleased with the results.

Finished Products

Another touch that I added was bottle openers from Lee Valley Tools. They add a rather nice feature to the beer caddy.

I made a couple for one of my work colleagues and as a result, several more have been requested. This past weekend, I did a limited production run.

Third Growler Box Design

We still have to get through the rest of February, March and April and I am hoping for an early riding season this year. Every once and awhile, I pull the covers off the bikes just to take a look!
