What's up today (bullchiting) thread.

We need to know more about these bicycles

 

We hit 80* here today. Sunshine and a nice breeze too.

 

You like old bicycles? Ones a British bike , Royal Imperial, I think no newer than 1950, maybe older and the other is a 50's huffy women's Camaro ( when huffys were good). The Camaro has a " gas tank" as headlight. Here they are. Royal Imperial on top. Classic Camaro people like the huffy Camaros. If it was the men's version I'd probably have it sold already.

 

We were able to get a little more work done on the new trail today. When we finished up I walked out and it was 199 paces. My paces is roughly 2.7 feet. So we have made it in about 537 feet. Divide by 3 and we are in about 179 yds. Seems like it’s less than that, but I’m feeling good about the progress we are making. Not working much at the enjoyment center over the next two weeks. Taking some half days of vacation. Combine that with twelve hour shift schedule with R.D.O.s and I could get use to this. So we should make some more good progress over the next two weeks. Depending on the rain.

 

I'm into old BMX bikes. I know nothing about those bikes, but there seems to be a forum of interest groups for all insane collectors online. It would be worthwhile to spend some coronalockdown time researching them a bit, they could be worth some cash. Some 70s and 80s BMX bikes are worth thousands of dollars.

 

No. No you won’t. It’s not your fault. chit happens. The saw obviously runs and cuts nice. Just needs new fuel lines so it can drink. We all need to drink. Especially now! They will put new Stihl fuel line in it and it will be all gooder.

 

Take it easy, Brandon. I feel for you. If there was a climate that was good for me, I would definitely take a shot at moving there. Past couple of weeks have been brutal. Could be all the allergens in the air this time.

 

We once lived at a Radar Site up on a mountain top in Finland MN. Bears were common there. In order to lessen their visits we had to eliminate any outside storage of anything they would eat. Most all the bear invasions were related to trash cans. also needed to keep doors and windows closed to uninvited bears

 

You'd think that Brit bike would be with something, but there's crap for information on it. The Camaro, maybe there's some lady out there with a purple and white Camaro that would love this?

 

We didn't get anything but some thunder. It was nice.

 

You are very glad you didn't go outside!

 

We got hammered with a storm last night...I got hammered with Blue Smoothies prior to the storm!!

 

I love my early 2000's Huffy 24"

 

Thought I saw a Red Headed Woodpecker foraging on the ground this morning...but it didn't look quit right, and I never seen one eating on the ground like that...reminded me of how a Robin hunts for food.
Looked it up, was a Northern Flicker Woodpecker...I guess they often eat on the ground.

Yeah, this old huffy was when they were better built. Apparently it's a 60's model.

At any rate, I posted both the bikes on CL, and already have a few people interested. The Brit bike more so. If I get $25-50 for my huffy I'll be happy. It's in my way. It seems some use old bikes as flower pots of sorts. This one's guy great lines and colors, as well as rear rack to put a planter on it. Waiting on some more information about the Royal Imperial. There's reproductions of them being made in England and they cost about 350 British pounds, so an original might be worth a bit. I got a couple hundred dollars for the old Schwinn stingray a couple years ago. I shipped it to California after it sold online.

 

Yes, Happy birthday farmer steve !!
