I definatley have relatives in Indiana











my trailer has been through a few modifications sice it was given to me.




first i took off the sides to 'flatbed' it. and then the other day i finally put an actual bed on it.




and it just kept going. I used some left over battens from the shed,and put eye bolts in those there are 9 eye bolts all together. also i made a trap door in the front where the floor drops down so children's feet would be comfortable ( this was originally a child trailer.) After it was finished i roade away to Snoockies with our empty 5 gallon water jug. in the store there were two people who saw my helmet and asked how i was gonna' carry that on a bike. i proudly told them i had a trailer. I could not lay it down on it's side because the lid leaks I succesfully hauled it home.




later that day jude had a friend over who brought a kite and i put him on the trailer with his kite and i rode while he flew. lots of fun. can't wait until i get a pickup truck!








the picture with all of the tools on the trailer is when i loaded up for a project down the street.




I was so excited when we went to menards and i bought 32 feet of 2x2 for 5 and a half dollars.

"Front quarter horse hide"
















This jacket is made of front quarter horse hide. the brand is windard 'quality outdoor clothing'





My Dad stopped by the salvation army to see if there were any 'steals' all of the leather was half price and he found this jacket; he was really hoping that it would fit him but it was too tight.





he brought it home and it fit me. the leather was almost 'crunchy' so we rubbed it down with saddle soap, and leather conditioner after that. the zipper still works and the only hole is a small rip in the lining; don't be fooled this is not a 'brand new vintage distressed jacket' its the real deal.










B-Mckne You all should start swimming 10 miles a week like i do then i would be able to share it.
