Probably some beauty filter nonsense in the phone. Newish phone and I can't seem to figure out how to disable some of those "selfie" features.

Nothing worse than a beer outage immediately after a shitty event. Adds insult to injury. Feel for you Man.

My beard used to be that color, now it's faded and slowly turning white....

3rd time's a charm. After I wrapped the second one around the mandrel...again...I decided to change the order I did things. Instead of polishing last, I cut the outside profile and centerpunched for the holes, then polished, taped over the shiny bits, drilled, cut inside profile, cleaned up the cut edges, and bang. Done. Felt personal there for a hot minute. LOL.

Anyway...

The polished edge just peeks out the side, as intended.

I suppose you know they're nice (& expensive) bolts when they come like this...

I suppose it also speaks to just how much I hate rust.


17-4 PH shoulder bolts for the seat mounts.
