    Dad got sick and gave me his old Norton Commando 750 restoration project, essentially a frame and bins and bins full of parts. It was the motorcycle he wanted ever since he was in school, so I’m hoping to have it up and running in the spring while he is still around. I’ve never built an engine before so I’m just trying to figure out how to start. Anybody ever done something like this before with zero experience?

    I’ll be honest, it’s been kind of a “just surviving” type of week. I have a drawing/craft day planned with my niece in a couple of days though and I’m super excited! I haven’t made anything in a long time, and she and I haven’t done much bonding in a while.

    More drawing! 😃 I keep changing this one and adding things to it. I have to be in a specific mood for drawing and I have a habit of trying to make things look perfect to me, which sometimes entails doing over some parts until I’m satisfied with them. I’m also quite busy, so it’s also about finding the time. I got a little bit flustered with the wings, so I’m going to do some new ones. I still have to do the little ophanims too. Lemmy got updated to handle larger image sizes recently, which I’m really enjoying!

    This one took me over a month on and off to draw, it’s an old picture I did back in June, but I’m still really proud of it!
