Still Working

 So, my 75th birthday came and went and here I am still working. Been building this small kitchen / wet bar in a neighbors basement and yesterday I finally got the cabinets installed so I can begin building the counter top. The walls in this place are so out of whack that I couldn't just use a pre-fab home depot counter.The corner is so out of square that I need to build a custom counter to conform to this mess.So ,that's what I'm doing today. Yesterday after screwing the base cabinets to the wall I measured for it and went out and bought what I need.Got some nice formica that works well with the cabinets so over the next two days I will get this built and hopefully installed . I've decided that this is the last construction job I'm ever going to do other than something for myself or a very good friend. Everything takes too much time out of my life and time is something that's way more important to me than money. Money, really, it's just paper with pictures of 300 year old dead rich guys on it and the way the government just keeps printing more makes it even more worthless. I'd rather be riding or painting making art but here I am doing this .





From that back corner out to the end of the cabinet is about 65 inches and with a straight edge touching the wall at the corner it is around 3/4th of an inch out at the end of the cabinet. The guy who built this space was a real hack but I'll make it all look right.Time to get to it. Ordered a new seat for my Moto Guzzi yesterday as a birthday present to myself, next is the new clutch . Can't wait to get my life back so I can hit the road and travel again. So, with any luck I'll be finished with this project by the end of May and be free to roam . First ride will probably be up to my camp. Can't wait!
