Bummer. Sorry to hear that. Hopefully things will change this weekend. Sounds like it.
Meanwhile, the bike is coming along very nicely. I got a new tank off eBay for it and got it on there today. HUGE difference from the "Eddie Munster" coffin tank! It's starting to look like a Shadow again.

That coffin tank was an atrocity. The new one weighs a 1/4 of what it did too...I think it was made from scrap destroyer hull plating...the guy that made it was a shipyard welder. Anyway, I MAY put it on eBay, just for a laugh. It would cost more to ship than it's worth.
Anyway, here are a few pics. First is the bike after I got it from a yard sale a couple weeks ago for $500. I cleaned it up, polished it up, put synthetic oil in it, new plugs, new filters, adjusted everything and put a new tire on it. And a fresh coat of Krylon black from Pep Boys. She was mechanically right and I've put a couple of hundred miles on it. I then got a new tank from eBay. New from Honda is $557. This one was $100...got a nice "Sniper shot" off on it.
I have a side cover coming for it too, hopefully by the end of the week. It's also red. And then a new seat. Over the winter it will get a new coat of paint I think, maybe metalic purple...we'll see.
So the following pics are what it WAS and what it IS now. More later, when it's done. So far I have a total (with the $500 I paid for the bike) of about $750 in it. When it's over it will be $1000 to $1200 maybe. So far, I'm very pleased with it. It's a blast to ride too.

Heh...as soon as the BIKE is done, I'LL be ready for a DIVORCE! 
This is something like what I'm looking at for the paint...maybe a little darker...down the road a bit.
