Random Happenings

The weather improved for a few days and we had nice weather for my daughter's going away parties. Shiskabobs and a pig roast, yummy. Now it's back to cloudy and rainy, there is even fresh snow on the mountains. We got the garden planted and school is out. Bike boy is in Florida, my daughter will be leaving on the 31st. So I will be having extra time on my hands. What am I going to do with myself? I don't know yet.





My new truing stand :)



My new bike, rescued from the river behind my home by Capt'n Balance. I don't think I will be restoring it. It looks like it originally was a women's bike and then someone welded a galvanized pipe toptube to make it into a boy's bike. It appears they lengthened the entire bike by also cutting it apart just in front of the bottom bracket and welding in an additional 3 inches of steel pipe. The welded galvanized toptube says "mercer". Interesting. I will make it into a planter for flowers or something. It has a great chainring on it, I love the design of it.

Very nice!

Glad to see you have better weather.

That wasnt the pig that made the papers last week was it?

That pig looks interesting. Where do you buy something like that to throw on the barbeque?

I suggest you spend that money on something made of carbon fiber.

I don't think it was the pig in the papers, I didn't hear anything about a pig in the news.

It was purchased from a local guy.

the good weather lasted 2 days...
