I started my new position this week - Services Education Coordinator. I moved my desk and finished up the work for my old position and now I'm just kind of sitting on my hands wondering what goals they're going to set for me. I did find out that the other ed coordinator is a huge video game nerd, so now we're making a sphere grid a la FFX to map out career progressions and available courses, which is super neat.

My carburetor came for the CT90, but the throttle cable got lost in the mail. The cable was $10 and I don't really think it's worth the time it would take to argue a claim for it, so I'm just ordering a new one. I still need to clean the gas tank and get a deep well socket for the plug. I did managed to get a lot of rust off the chrome and take off a lot of parts and pieces off the frame so I could really clean it.

I did have a question: the tank has what I assume are fuel stains on it. I tried the same method I used for the rust on chrome (tin foil and salt water) but with no luck. I'm wondering if anyone (kleinbl00?) has suggestions for tackling gas stains or if I'll have to just repaint the whole thing.

Oh, we're also looking for wedding photographers, if anyone in the triangle knows someone.

Which triangle? Tri-state area northeast? or bermuda?

Let's be honest, dude:

The little beastie needs some love, appearance-wise. You'll have to repaint the whole thing anyway. Eastwood Company. I'm tellin' ya.

Alright, alright. I was hoping I could have a cleaning project while I wait for parts to arrive. I can't commit to putting money into appearance until I know it's running.

And when you do, you'll be much happier if you take everything painted to a shop and have it stripped and repainted.
