The Bailout Explained
Once upon a time a man appeared in a village and announced to the villagers that he would buy monkeys for $10 each. The villagers, seeing that there were many monkeys around, went out to the forest and started catching them. The man bought thousands at $10 and, as supply started to diminish, the villagers stopped their effort. He next announced that he would now buy monkeys at $20 each. This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started catching monkeys again. Soon the supply diminished even further and people started going back to their farms. The offer increased to $25 each and the supply of monkeys became so scarce it was an effort to even find a monkey, let alone catch it! The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at $50 each! However, since he had to go to the city on some business, his assistant would buy on his behalf. In the absence of the man, the assistant told the villagers: "Look at all these monkeys in the big cage that the man has already collected. I will sell them to you at $35 and when the man returns from the city, you can sell them to him for $50 each." The villagers rounded up all their savings and bought all the monkeys for 700 billion dollars. They never saw the man or his assistant again, only lots and lots of monkeys!

New Tshirt Design Delayed
The new t shirt design will be delayed indefinitely. Since I have sold less than I care to admit, I will not be wasting a whole lot of time on this through the remainder of the project. After the next big purchase which is only 3 days away and the impending tax return this project will now being going along at ramming speed. With all the holidays and birthdays out of the way for a while, a minimum of $300 per paycheck will be spent on the project. I am more and more confident of a late may completion time.
So if I get some spare time I will whip something up, if not, not.

Chargine System Install
This is the stator in place. The little plug was a challenge with fat fingers and short wire.
This is the rotor which goes on over the stator. The rotor turns around the stator and creates a electrical field.
The electricity which is AC is picked up by the stator and passed through this plug in the engine case.
The voltage regulator then converts the AC to DC and regulates it down to 32 amps and sends it back to the battery.
That's the regulator on the right and its mount on the left. And that is the long and short of a Evolution charging system. And it is now installed!

New Tshirt Design
A new t shirt design will probably pop up tomorrow also. Due to incredibly limited sales it will probably be the last design until the completed bike design comes out. Any of the previous designs can be made available on the value shirt just shoot me a email an let me know which design you want and I will make it available.
The charging system is here!
The charging system arrived this afternoon just before I had to leave for work. I will be installing it tomorrow and swinging my worktable out away from the wall so I can get to both sides at once for when the next big order arrives. This is no smal task, the engine and transmission have to come out and the file table it is on weighs around 180 lbs. Pictures will follow tomorrow. I also ordered a clymers softail maintenance manual so I can quit asking people stupid questions so much. That should arrive by the 8th. I am so excited!

Things I've Remembered, Things You Should Know, And Dancing
Ok students listen up! I had the dubious joy of going out last night for the first New Year's Eve in probably 15 yrs or longer. I have worked the last 10 so I know it has been at least that long.
Anyway, things I remembered last night. I hate people, always knew it but had forgotten why. Now I remember. Never underestimate the stupidity of people in large groups. That one is key, humans by nature are pack animals. Let me correct that, I don't mean pack like a group of skilled wolves. Herd animals is probably a better description. Like a bunch of brainless cattle that willingly walk single file to their deaths without a single thought of escape. Due to the previous reasons I remember why I drink alone.
Things you should know. Yes, unless you are a metro sexual or homosexual and you have outboard plumbing, you look ridiculous when you dance. This applies to all straight males with very few exceptions. If you are not Gregory Hines, Patrick Swayze or Mikhail Baryshnikov sit your happy ass down. Another exception to this rule applies to me. If the love of your life is, was, or should be a stripper and your only role in the whole production is to stand still while your partner uses you for a mobile stripper pole then it all good. Believe me this is not easy. Standing immobile, while half smashed, while your partner wildly swings their weight around without falling over and crushing them is not as easy as it looks.
The bad part about being a black sheep is your still a sheep. Granted we are a rapidly dying breed but there are still a few of us wolves around. From my personal experience I can tell you it's always the person you least expect. These days it most likely is the guy in his late thirties or early forties. More than likely wearing jeans and a button down shirt even when the other "men" are in suits and/or ties. He is the one with the semi tired slightly amused look on his face. Probably has a beer gut or is carrying a few extra pounds from a hard earned good life. Another good thing to check is the persons hands, if the knuckles are scarred up and a finger or two appears to have been broken, leave this person alone! Now don't misunderstand me, I am not looking for trouble but my girl is clearly with me. If you go winking or sticking your tongue out at her or some other juvenile bullshit someone might just chop it off for ya. A little respect and common sense goes a long way when out in a crowd. Lots of people have gone out for the night and never come back.
Now you'll have to excuse me while I step down off my soapbox and have a little hair of the dog.

No Smoking!
That's right ladies and germs today is day 365 without a cigarette! Now granted since I quit smoking I have put on 60lbs. So pretty much I traded lung cancer for heart disease at least I can hope the heart attack will be quick. And I can leave a decent looking corpse behind.
Of course with my luck it will be a cva and I will be left a drooling shell of a person. Now don't get me wrong a small cva something I could come back from would live able but not one of those brutal devastating ones with no hope of rehab.
Anyway, to all you smokers out there please feel free to blow some of that second had smoke my way. I won't lie and tell you it gets easier. I'd kill for a smoke. Don't ya just love milestones?
