God Sends, Dear Friends...and One Shed

[2LZ]

Well, I'm not going to go into any great detail but for let's just say for the last while, the "ever-sturdy 2LZ" has been haggling with some health issues for the very first time in his mule-like life. Fun? Nah... Bound to happen to most of us? Just a matter of time, really.

The hard part is that I've always liked to consider myself the guy who was there at o-dark thirty to help fiends or people in need whether on a car, home project or whatever. Loan tools (2LZ?) or however I can help. Let's just say I'm not used to this treatment that I received this weekend. I found it uncomfortable and awkward being on the receiving end, though I was forever grateful.

A few months back, I bought this storage shed from Lowes and had them deliver. Then the weather turned, and I took a minor downturn again and have been on the mend....but alas, the shed kit was out there sitting on the property (thankfully well sealed), just waiting to be assembled. Normally for me, not a big deal whatsoever....but as the calendar ticked by, I started to realize that currently, I'm not in the shape to just go out there and toss this thing up, as normal.

So, my buddies Jeff and Rob in Sac somehow found out (Mrs 2LZ probably narc'd me out) and next thing I know, a truck pulled up early on Saturday morning all the way up to Volcano. The cavalry came to the rescue. I'd already had the flooring and foundation done but that was it. 24 hours later? It's all done and just needs paint. I'm pretty sure the culprit for this invasion is in the last pic.

Again, I'm not used to, for the first time in my life, being the guy who hands beers and feeds the crew. I'm usually the crew. Like I said, it was awkward....and I felt pretty useless....but I thanks the Dear Lord for buddies like this.

I know that feeling. Been there done that. If you would of been closer I would been out there helping too. Always pay forward. You never know when you will be on the receiving end. Hope all is well with you.

That culprit is lovely!


You're on the receiving end due to the many good deeds you've done, not the least of which was your very generous contribution to my daughter's missions trip. You're a gentleman and a credit to our China bike community.

+1

just think of it as payback for the many people you've helped in the past one way or another!

Around lending an occasional hand on the shed when needed, this is what the culprit did all day. She loves her new splitter. Santa came early.....
I really hope this doesn't double post. My "day" pc has really been acting up.

Hydraulic log splitter, yea, what's not to like about that

Shed project pictures eat your heart out cheesy!

Nice shed. I see your site was level like mine. It won't take long fill it.

One question. How do you get the 'culprit' to run the log splitter? I can't even get mine to sit on the tractor.

Oh...it's easy! She's just like her dad. Born with a backbone of steel and loves the hard work. But unlike her dad, she can still fix up like a pretty penny when she wants.
When I have the chainsaw out, she fights me for it. It really gets ridiculous sometimes..... She runs her own Stihl weedeater, hauls all kinds of stumps and boulders in the little tractor and cart, loves to clear brush, is a complete pyro for burning the leaves and brush and whatever else. You should have seen her tear up last year when I got her a Stihl backpack blower for Christmas! Sure makes my life easy gift buying.

This was us last year at an annual pig roast we go to. She just got done rolling pine and oak rounds to the bonfire all morning, was pumped and ready for a few cold ones. I'm a lucky guy, for sure.

Typical China rider questions

Can you show the link for this model. What is the displacement? I've looked but can't find one. Are they offered in North America? What about parts? How long did it take to get the mso, is it street legal?
