Bought a used Atlas Scissor lift. Took an hour and half to muscle it up onto a tilt bed trailer with the use of a come along. The wheels did roll so well. Slid it onto the floor of the garage with about 15 minutes of effort - after taking apart the steel wheels. Cleaned and greased the shafts that held the wheels. It rolled right off and into place.

Changed out the radio with a new double din HU. Went with an Parrot Asteroid Smart, I really liked all the features of it and didn't need a CD player. GPS works great, installed a USB/AUX in the dash and with the six channel upgraded amp and rear speaker package it sounds great.

Avoided these guys,



Had a close call in June when I learned they could fly, almost got dinner and a new windshield.
I've hit birds before on my bike but don't want to have that encounter with one of these, it could end very badly.

Between them and the winter I second guess my reasons for living in the province that I was born into.

Wild turkeys. They where reintroduced a few decades back. I've seen flocks a few dozen large around here. They weigh up to around 20lbs give or take. Enough to ruin your day if you have the misfortune of hitting one at speed.
