Since there’s some bike talk here I thought I’d post a random photo of my bicycle that’s getting refurbished. I was going to hold off on posting a picture until it was reassembled and start a separate thread.
I’m getting anxious.
I’ll tell the story on it later.

Looks like a quality alloy frame. I should get out there and work on my old bike now. First I have to try fixing my washing machine, if it's a simple fix. Good to see you do some riding, too

We went to a drought tolerant front yard awhile back. There must be some bugs living in the wood chips, because we have literally dozens of those critters running around our place. Outside, of course. :)

This little guy was attached to our sliding glass patio door last week. The body was about 3/4" long.

I liked that dull blue original paint '78 Custom Deluxe Short bed in the car corral much much better. I think I'd leave the paint be, but a repaint on that would yield a much nicer blue.

I had a '78 Scottsdale Camper Special 30 454/4spd w/woodfloor in that color. You can catch a glimpse of it in the background behind CCC-2. The picture was taken when I first bought the '78, before I outfitted it for wok where it became CCC-4

Not bad at all. Watch your work, too! Don't want you to hurt yourself :cool:

I think Chevyland is on the Atlantic side in New England (Massachusetts). Pretty deceiving since that's a sunset over the water.

That's what I loved about Buxton, NC on Cape Hatteras. That is the outermost point where the lighthouse is. You are 70 miles out from the mainland there. You get the sunup and sunset over the open water. I wish I had pictures I took on the computer

What do you have going on there? Paint in the shower of some sort of waterproofing I've never seen?


Two 40 year old Schwinn bicycle inner tubes. I replaced the dry rotted tires and these look good to go another 40. Made in USA from quality materials intended to last a while, as if they were concerned with quality and giving you your money's worth. Probably cost 1/10 what tubs from over seas cost today from a factory that might pay the equivalent to the cost of one tube a week to the worker while the American business man gets more per tube. It's a wonderful world economy we have stooped down low into

There was a couple of fellas outside the chow hall playing some good music.

I took this photo in 2008 of my place back in Oregon with the snow we got that year.

Hope it makes some us feel cooler with all the hot days we are getting

I was camping 2 1/2+ hours away from that lightning storm. I had gotten up at 3 am to get some water outside the tent. Clear starry sky, not a cloud in sight. All of the sudden the sky lit up and for a brief second you could see every campsite and the lake as if it was daytime. It was so far away that I didn't hear any thunder. Im my half awake state, it seemed as though it was a camera flash that went off. My next thought was that I was standing in full view of all of the other campsites in my boxers :lol:

From what I heard, that lightning storm was pretty impressive. Unfortunately it started a bunch of fires too.

Someone got a can opener too close to that Ford. :lol:

My wife was a model for years. Now she doesn't like her picture taken. At least not by me. She also won a few beauty contests. She was "Miss Sanitarium" :lol: I still make fun of that one. But her agent would sign her up for anything. Even a beauty contest in a nuthouse. I guess it got her prepared for being married to me.

Trivia question. does anyone know what the sticker in the back window means? (It's in Latin) I had a young kid doing landscaping and he knew what it meant. I couldn't believe it.

Dead carp?

The Rocknrod 08-18-2020 08:43 AM

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 
Carpe is to seize, to utilise. Mortem means death.
The phrase is similar to “Carpe Diem”, which is translated as “seize the day”.
