		<title>&#8220;Fat 50&#8243; ammo cans as saddlebags</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few Redditors asked for pics of my ammo can saddlebags this morning, so here they are. They&#8217;re mounted using Easy brackets (http://easybrackets.com) which work really well for this. When I pull them off, only the chromed mounting studs remain.]]></description>

		<title>More great progress on the trailer.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There was a lot of progress made on the trailer this weekend. I got the running lights wired to the hazard switch, and then I got that wired into the junction box and the junction box wired up to a 7 prong trailer plug. I also got the two circuits for the pumps run, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Roof!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It was a good weekend. The roof has been built and bolted to the lifters. I also installed the winch switch and wired it into the main junction box; there&#8217;s still a bit of cable arranging to do for the winch, but that will wait until the final adjustments can be made to the limit [...]]]></description>

		<title>We have siding!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This weekend with a little help from Nathan, Jenn, Sam &#038; Rob I got the siding installed! Once that went on, I was able to put all the trim pieces on with the vinyl inserts, and install all the running lights. I still need to run the wires into the junction box, but the lights [...]]]></description>

		<title>Made good progress on the trailer!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This weekend I wasn&#8217;t sure how much I would get done with it being Easter, but I managed to get some work done. I cut the holes for the water fill hatch and the outside shower. Then I located and drilled the two holes for the furnace. Since the furnace vents are a slip fit [...]]]></description>

		<title>Finally got some time in on the trailer this weekend.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This weekend, I finished the cabinet frames, then framed in the drawer openings, installed all the cabinets, and put the paneling on them. I had previously believed that with a variety of rotary tools, die grinders, and 1/4&#8243; routers that I had no need for a rotozip, and boy was I wrong. I picked up [...]]]></description>

		<title>Visit to Boyce Thompson Arboretum</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I went with Nathan, mom, Rob &#038; grandma to the Boyce Thompson Arboretum. Nathan rode in the car, and I took the motorcycle; what a fantastic day to be out on the road on a bike! We had a nice picnic lunch and then wandered around a bit. The wildflowers are in bloom, and [...]]]></description>

I also figured out where the batteries and the junction box will be installed. Next on the list is building and installing the battery compartment, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Finally got more work done on the trailer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After three weekends of problems, I was finally able to get some work done on the trailer this weekend. I managed to get two of the three bench seats framed up. They still need the blocking to support the seat, and then the bench going across between them will be the last cabinet to frame. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rainy weekend, so only a little bit of progress</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Between all the rain this weekend making it impractical to setup my table &#038; power tools on the driveway, and Jenn hurting her ankle rather badly, not much got done this weekend. However, two important bits did get done and can be checked off the list. The rack for the dual propane tanks, cover, and [...]]]></description>
