rear guard chop

Here's a chop idea. 
A. Cut the rear guard to mirror the chrome stays
B. Place a chopper tail light & reg plate under the (removable) rack area.
C. Use rear stay bolt to mount bullet turn indicators. 
By then the rear should already be lowered.

wise words for those with friends in need

"Help us to be present for those who are hurting, even when we feel helpless." "May I be like Simon of Cyrene, walking beside those in need, sharing their burdens, and bringing them strength ." Two passages from today's mass. Simon was dragooned into helping Jesus carry the cross upon which he was crucified. The sermon asks us to be that support for others and to identify the "Simons" in our life.  The initial passage is helpful too guide me in supporting my daughter who entered a difficult period in her life some weeks ago. As a caring parent I struggled to find a way.to remove her pain, the passage suggests that being present and supportive is sufficient.

I know that the main highways will not provide. Let's go! But first some exercise & oats.  1000: my daughter pops in for morning tea (her) & breakfast (me). While we sat talking my son called to report that he had scored a full time position with a local fire management mob.

This news buoys my mood for the day; having him at home will lessen my responsibilities feeding pets & remaining close to home. After I motored almost across the state, my daughter calls to report that her seniors have asked her to apply for several positions on Council that she might prefer.
