    It was 3 stories. The main floor they sold all kind of lawnmower parts. The top floor they had all the motorcycles that they had when they quit selling them. That’s where the Indian he gave me was stored. The basement was a CD shelter. It still had government food from the 50’s or 60’s.. had to be ready for the nukes! The rest of it had all sorts of stuff. Their Father started the company in the 30’s I believe they sold motorcycles and Schwinn bicycles. They were friends with the Schwinn family. Latter they added all sorts of stuff appliances, TV and such but motorcycles and bikes were the main stay

    Sounds like a great place. Is it still in operation? It looks well cared for.

    Took my dog for his afternoon walk in the rain, and now we are back home and dried off. On to get my S ready for some work and finishing my taxes this week before heading for the Dragon on April 27.

    I installed a mesh WiFi network at the house... a 4 hub Deco X60 (Wifi 6) system. It was a remarkably simple install and the worst WiFi speed in my house is now faster than the best speed was (right next to the wireless router) before the change.

    Too bad I didn't do this back when the whole COVID thing started! :D

    That sounds about right. When I use to work my hours were close to yours. I started at 1:30 am and finished at 9:30am. I liked the hours it let me get a lot done during the day.

    I adjusted my ride-height today. Slightly raised the front. dropped the rear slightly, overall reduced the amount of 'rake', seems to ride a little better. There are just too many ridiculously tall speed bumps!
