This is what I rolled out of the shop today. It's not finished but we needed fodder for the dog pack and their cats.
This is the load. About 50 pounds but so easy to load. This would be max volume on the Schwinn. I am no where near the limit here. I am no where near done. Updates to follow.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
2009 was a fairly stress free year for me. Some good things happened and some disappointing things happened but all in all it was a positive year. I didn't get to be in the presence of those I love the most near enough but that is probably my punishment for not gracing the living room of my mother and grandmothers near enough. I now know how they felt. (I just love the that phrase "love the most". I don't think "love" comes in degrees. You either do or you don't. It is sort of like being a little dead or a little pregnant.)
I made new friends and came to respect even more the friends that I already had. One of my new friends pointed out that his friends all reside on the internet (internetwebtubespipes) and I find that to be true in my case as well. Through writing and reading what others write we get to know each other. You can be the real you here.
Thanks for reading my stuff and making comments. You have made me happy.
I hope you all have a Happy New Year filled with new fantasies, new dreams and new friends.
The following statement is wrong and should be stricken from this post but I'm leaving it to remind me that anytime I am so sure of anything I am usually wrong.Wrong again but I am consistent.
(Oh yeah, be wary of news media that can't count. The new decade (10 years) starts in 2011 unless of course this one is only 9 years)

Happy New Year to you too! You did a great job on your new cargo bike.
Yeah, the cargo bike is cool. I still have the pieces lying about, waiting to build one of my own.
And, thanks for pointing out the "decade thing". The local Fox "News" show has been running end-of-the-decade stories for two weeks. The dumbing-down of journalism is perhaps one of the saddest things to occur here, in the past 20 years.
Happy New Year. Gotta go lead the NYDR (new year's day ride). I hope someone shows up....
The New Decade starts today--unless you start your counting at one.
But most things are born at 0 years of age. Just like when a child turns 10, --it has been 10 years since their birth. So it is with this decade.
Last decade started at 2000 --so 0 to 10 makes 10 years. 2010 starts a new decade.

I'm not the "Old Fool" for nothing. I understand and stand corrected. It is clear in my mind but likely to be forgotten by next new years.
Nothing like a man who can say he "stands corrected"
WINK
Happy New Year Oldfool, you're an interesting guy.
The cargo bike is looking good.
Happy New Year and thanks for some interesting reading...Oh, and do not feel alone about being wrong now and then, if you were indeed wrong.
I'm usually pretty good with numbers but I struggled with this back in 2000, made a decision and stuck with it. Being called on it caused me to squint down my brain which I don't like to do because it makes me fart and sometimes worse. Well the big picture came to me in a flash of clear understanding making me wonder why it was so difficult.
The difficult part was going to SWMBO who I had just had a discussion with about this very subject and tell her I was wrong.
She made me pork hash for lunch today so sometimes "hat in hand" humility has it's rewards.
