I ran out of space again. So I'm moving. Again.

This weekend I will move into a brick warehouse which sits on the border of an industrial area in Eugene, near tire warehouses and storage facilities. There are various manufacturing and other "industrial" shops nearby, and the train tracks are close.  This doesn't really mean anything, but I like the sound of trains, so that'll be cool. 

The building used to house a mining equipment manufacturer. There are TWO operating ten-ton cranes which run on tracks on the ceiling. Everything inside and out looks very old and something from a movie set.  And it's HUGE.

The structure is large enough to play tennis in, if you wanted to do that. If you needed a place to park a half-dozen RVs, you could do that here. If it were breezy, you could fly a kite inside. It's big. I share the building with a frame builder and bike painter. 



On Friday, Feb 13th, we had an open house.

EVERYONE showed up.  Food was barbequed, a keg of local beer quickly emptied, music blasted, and video projected. Dogs ran around and mini-bikes were raced in circles.

 

 

I found an enormous tree stump down the road and hauled it back for a game of "stump". 



The party went full-speed all night. A fine open-house, indeed.
Thank you to everyone in the Eugene area that showed up to
make the move warm and official. 

More big news coming very soon.
