I had that exact bike…. same color…. first bike I totaled out. Server road rash , took at least six months to heal , I’m still sporting the scars.
What did you accomplish today?

You know I often thought fondly of that bike. They were good ones! Sorry about the road rash.

I’m going sometime in the next week or two and try find some flooring for the wife’s room.
What brand is that?

No racing on today (at least the types we watch). Guess I ought to accomplish something before it gets hot. I need to solder the Toy radiator back to it's frame and figure out how high it needs mounted so I can tap out some holes. Metric taps came yesterday. I decided I'm just going to put in a cutoff switch for the fuel pump, at least that way if something happens and the ignition is on it can be prevented from pumping more fuel into the flames.
Ow my back hurts just looking at that, but it will be lovely when it's done.

Did a few hours on the puter this morning. Gonna go spend some money. Need a printer and another monitor. Since I'll be in the area, I'll get dog food and gas. After that... I'll head over to the head shop and maybe get a new piece. Depends. Not sure what I want. After that, um... I don't know, I'll do some stuff on the honey due list.

I guess I missed the cooler window this morning to do stuff outside. Oh well, it will be there tomorrow. I did check the flower room and the girls don't need watered yet. I do need to mix up some nutes for the veg closet though.
The couch may have to do it's job and help me make up for the sleep interruption at 0300 this morning.

I managed to buy back my Dad's tractor (at a steal of a price) that he sold 17 years ago when he became paralyzed, found notes in Dads handwriting on the manual that showed the hour meter reading - turns out the guy that bought it only put 50 hours in all that time. New battery, diesel & clamps - no leaks, everything works and she purrs like a kitten.

I’m out shopping for wood flooring. Was gonna go with an engineered hardwood throughout. Mostly. Not bathrooms.
Everywhere I go they are trying to talk me into vinyl plank. The 1/2” thick stuff. Turns out just about every builder is installing it now out here about 75% of the time. It does feel like wood floor. My buddy had it installed and is stoked with it. I was 100% against the product but now after checking into it am open to it.
i dont know what i’m gonna do now. I need to make mind up this week though. If i’m going hardwood it needs to go in before kitchen cabinets. Vinyl plank afterwards. The kitchen cabinets will be done in about 2-3 weeks. That right there is also steering me towards the vinyl plank. And that its waterproof and nearly indestructible.
Oh and i’d have to move the trailer so I could bring power to the building. Which btw i’m gonna change the meter main while i’m at it to make it easier for the solar install i have to do. I have to have the AC on to keep the house at a normal temp to acclimate the flooring and install. So that isnt so easy and would have to be done immediately.

I personally like hardwood better, and i know hardwood will last longer. I have 60 year old hardwood floors in my house, in the living room and bedrooms, and it's still beautiful. I know vinyl plank won't last that long.
And yes, vinyl plank is waterproof, but water can still get trapped underneath it causing mold, etc.
But yep, everyone is using vinyl plank...It's cheaper, easier, and faster. I like it in kitchens and bathrooms, especially older homes where the floors might not be perfect.
Ceramic tile is my preferred kitchen and bathroom flooring.

I’m doing tile in the bathrooms. Leaning towards wood looking porcelain tile planks.
I'd go ceramic tile. The type of dogs you like will love you for it. You can't beat the delta T on tile for conductive heat dissipation.

I wire wrapped this shark tooth. 
The first thing the big boy does when he comes in is to flop down belly first on the tile floor. He loves it!
All my littles are belly down on the tile right now. During the winter my largest guy likes to sleep on the living room coffee table but during summer you can't get him off the tile. My bedroom is carpeted and during the summer you'll find my smallest guy sleeping in the shower!
