chain in place with new master link (held in tweezers)

Rain today (everything is sprouting and greening). So, I got my hair, 6 months long and bushy, cut off and did some grocery shopping then worked on the cb450. The engine is now timed (crank to the 2 cams)and the cam chain installed with the new master link and the cam chain tensioner installed with new gasket and adjusted. Do you hear that...the sump pump's on duty-it's running like every 10 minutes now.

And on another note: If you've been wondering what's up at the I-land compound (Iowa property in The Lou), Eric and Becca, the great urban farmers are working the land there still and have made some recent improvements. You can see 2 of the apple trees I planted in the nice pics....and my old chicken coop.Becca and Eric hard at work...on Iowa ave
