In the span of a few months I have had to pleasure of opening up for two major mainstream acts. It is an honor to be the ukulele player here in Alaska that is waving the banner of ukulele world domination high in the sky. It is the coming. The ukulele revolution that is!
Things are finally starting to settle down. The salmon are packed in the freezer. The firewood is done. It must mean it is time to start prepping for the moose hunt. The three wheeler is as good as it is gonna get for now. I just need to adjust the tightness on the chain. Finally got the brakes fixed back a month ago. That was sketchy for a while. September 1st here I come!
This seems to be the time of year when you actually want your vehicles to break down if they are going to. It is still nice out and there is light most of the day. In two months that would start to not be the case. Working on front ends of vehicles (90% of the time this seems to be the problem) outside in the winter sucks. There are number of things that the cold does that makes it difficult. As long as you have a 6ft pipe, a torch, and a little know how you can usually get by. It is a good feeling though when you actually fix it yourself and don't get charged the $100+/hr (it varies) shop rate in town. Pride is a sin, but it sure is tasty.
My wife and I actually just fixed her car. The clutch fan assembly busted off and took out the radiator. After much running around trying to get the parts together we finally got it back together. I have to admit, without her tiny little lady hands I would have never been able to finish the job. Teamwork equals cost savings!
At the Marlin in Fairbanks at 10pm tonight with a SPECIAL GUEST!
