It's been a while, the threads are probably mostly in the archives.

A riding acquaintance of one of the guys here, whose foibles and misadventures in the areas of bike maintenance, mass consumption of doughnuts, and pole dancers in trailer parks made for hilarious reading for some years on WG.   We even had T-shirts, of which I still have a couple.

A search on "Mr. Nevada" will bring up a few links, and (if interested) you can go from there ....

   if I find them amusing, I might link in other forums and see if there is a resurgence of the foibles of Mr  Nevada.

I believe that Leafman deleted any thread related to Mr.Nevada that originated by him.  Life hasn’t been so good for Mr.Nevada since those stories were printed, he now has Parkinson’s which is getting worse on a weekly basis.

Well, I'm sorry I mentioned it ... I didn't know that he was going through all that.   In that case we'll wish Mr. Nevada well and thank him for all the fun we had ....

No family to look after him and we are afraid he is going to either hurt himself or others if he keeps driving or riding his bike. His shaking is so bad now that you can’t sit at the same table with him and not notice the table rocking.

I'm kicking around plans for a 20 x 9  garage/ shed for my scooters / self. Nothing too fancy. What have you guys done?

Well Mr Turin, the posts kind of wandered off the subject but you should have gotten some good ideas. What yah gonna do, buy prebuilt, hire a contractor, or build it yourself?

I've been talking about building another garage for years and my wife is now insisting on parking her "car" in our garage this winter.   
Our current 2 stall garage is full with wood working equipment, tools, "stuff", and of course the guzzi.
Anyway, been checking with contractors about building another 26x26 garage with gambrel roof providing space for a second floor woodshop.  Has to go into a shallow hill as I have no flat space and since it's in Minnesota I'll need frost footings down 4ft, so a bit of excavation and extra concrete work.  Buried power will be ~125 ft and they're suggesting 100A.
Quotes are coming in around 80k, which is more than I paid for the house/land 38 years ago!  Hard to swallow but it's do this or move because we need the space.  Haven't pulled the trigger yet but thinking about it...

Fortunately, Chandler is flat.  Rent a nail gun.  It'll make things go faster.

WOW!  Is this fully finished and can walk to the edge of the floor upstairs?  That about $60 a square foot, which isn’t bad if they are insulated and heat/cooled as well as a 1/2 bath put in.
