Im back at it

Ive not been in the mood to do this lately,hope you understand.Life takes funny turns sometimes and it seems that I'm going in circles.Not going to go in to details but lets just say you cant rely on anyone or anything.I just keep coming up short on many different  levels,finding work,paying bills,money to do projects and many more that I will not bother you with,we are all having a hard time I'm sure.I don't want to get you all down.I will say that for me its been more then just money and bills,seams that whatever I touch gos to shit(the opposite of king Midas).Take my panhead for example,spent all summer getting it back on the road and the fuckin thing blows a head gasket 5mi in to its shake down run"bummer",no big deal right?We tare it down do it again and the damn thing starts to show signs of compression lose and blowing burnt smoke from the crank case breather,puking oil,sucking air though the intake manifold and just seams to be running like shit to top it off.This is a real fuckin bummer!!My plan was to get it off the stand so I can start focusing on the track bike(yam 500).Ive got a lot of work to do on that bike if we are going to run it next year(Gene Romeros WCFTS).What can you do?The good news you ask?I'm back on the frame jig,got he triumph frame on there and ready to start building my first frame on it(stay tuned for more failure).So lets see how this gos.A good friend of mine once told me"You never finish shit,whats with that"?He went on to say"If you never finish you can never fail,is that it"?Fuck you man!!!(this really hit home,I guess the truth hurts)Ya I may not finish many things that I start out doing but I try to get to a point where I'm happy with what Ive done,milestones,baby steps and so on.We all cant be"that guy"you know,nice house,killer lawn,all bills payed on time,painted hot rod,bike that runs perfect.We do what we can and hope for the best.So I'm going to try and stay positive on this build and maybe I will finish this one.Oh ya in closing I would like to add that I'm pin striping and lettering again and if you need some work done(not finished)hit me up!
