Hello everybody!!!

I'm on the hunt for my 1st HD and figured there'd be no better place to start then here!

I live in FL and have to have a project going at all times even when it's so hot in the garage you could fry an egg on my tool box

My next project idea is to track down an old tired Shorty and bring is back to life as a simple clean and uncluttered Bobber.

If anybody wants to donate a Sporty for the cause please let me know

Thanks,
Rick C.
