Default Three more goats died.

The original vinyl seat cover lasted me from 1986 to 1989, at which time it was ripped and done. I had a local upholsterer recover my seat in goat skin in '89 and that one lasted until this year. OK, maybe it was past time last year, but I just recovered it. I broke out Grandma's hand crank Singer again. That piping is a PITA, easily doubling the work.

Dammit Doc, that is some nice work! Next time you're up north I have some curtains that need some attention. Lol

You are a f*n renaissance man for sure. Sewing, guns, brain surgery and motorsports of all shapes and sizes.

Nice work Doc, but the title led me to believe that Izzo Quazzo was rampaging through your area.

Yeah, the lift is a Harbor Freight. I decided it would be nice to not be hunched over working on bikes. I am married to a chiropractor, so that helps, but it is better to not tear the back up in the first place. That thing is kinda handy as a work bench too.
