Moving again

Well, Em and I are moving to Seattle and possibly Portland in the next 2 months. I'm pretty excited and looking forward to living somewhere else besides Texas for awhile. The PNW it seems, has a lot going on as far as advanced vehicle development and I'm hoping to be a part of it somehow. DP Cars and MotoCzysz are developing interesting high performance vehicles for sure and there seems to be a wealth of experience in the region working with composites as well as machining. I suppose Boeing can take credit for that.
Last week I started disassembling the front end of my wrecked scooter. The front end is pretty much the only thing preventing it from being rideable again and in the process I've redesigned it to accept a 12" wheel and tire as well as a much lighter monoshock. USM has graciously allowed me to remake the parts as needed and I'll have this project up and running before the move if everything goes well.
I can't wait to get moved and settled in so I can start getting back down to doing what I like.
