Thanks, Al, you're a gem. ;) I could swing by your place on my way into work tomorrow. But I'll need address/directions since I can remember what I had for breakfast but not much further back than that.

More cleaning today. She's just about ready for that seat and a rider.

You working tonight? I could swing by there as I leave later on and save you a trip since I'm only about 5 blocks away.

Thanks again, Al.

Glad you like em, Jeff. Those haven't changed since I put them on in '08. They just show better with all of the skins off. ;)

Al: Thanks for the cover and the free delivery. dancr

It fits great and you sure can't argue about the price (10 bucks!? How'd they do that?)

No better name, Steve taught us all a lesson on that item. If not for his teaching, I very well may not have bothered to install that very simple little component.

After a year and a half, Winnie finally got to see the sunshine today. What a glorious Easter Day it was.

This first trip was just 12.5 miles, into town (Mulberry Grove), around the neighborhoods, a little detour through the bottoms, stop for some pics and back to the stable.

I really like my newly shaped and leather-covered seat. Comfy and I can move around a lot.

I've been preparing a little corner for her this week. Someday we'll have real walls but a curtain will keep some of the dust out for a while. I've been hauling those cabinets around for over ten years, through 3 moves. They're finally semi-pemanent. Tabletop ended up at 38" with the 2x6 box under them.

Great cubical to work in Steve. And Winnie has never looked better. Really sharp build. The seat looks very nice.
