some gardening before the showers come
Gorgeous day this morning. Had coffee in the shade while doing the NYT crossword, really pissed off some crows while weeding the garden, cleaned off the roof downspouts, and continued on cleaning the records (just finished all my Brian Protheroe off).
Now, to escape the ultrasound cleaner, hiding in my office and intentionally not doomscrolling. 1) it's all going to shit out there 2) it's pretty nice here and I don't want to waste it.

In the midst of (re) washing all my records. Got some bad advice on what the solution should be and things turned out far more hiss/pop than they should've.
Good excuse to play some things I haven't heard in a while

Wow! What's original there? Almost nothing, I think.
The frame.
Just like my truck... I make it drive able/ ride able.
I use my truck everyday, so I want it safer/ funner to drive/ faster.
My old Schwinn had horrible brakes, and I didn't like the color. This is now the 3rd paint job I've done on it. It's now the color of my Daytona I'm building... Citron Yella: Dodge. Curious Yellow: Plymouth.
My cousin spends big bucks on the latest/ greatest mountain bikes. He frequently upgrades them with the latest/ greatest parts. So I got a set of his older wheels. I got a Shimano disc brake set up and welded on some caliper mounts to my frame. Now I have awesome brakes. And a 21 speed gear set.
Oh... and a semi- big fat cruiser seat for my semi- fat big seat. AND carbon fiber handle bars!

Take my newly remodeled bike, that I bought in '81, out for a ride.
Yeah, it's old school... but I like it!
This is it's 4th reiteration.
Yup. I still have my 1976 Tangerine Univega in good condition. Once got pulled over for doing 37 in a 30mph zone. By an ice hole town cop. Back then there was no helmets only toe clips.

Wander through downtown Portland. Brief stop on a road trip. Went to Pete Townsend for a couple of days and need to be back to the SF Bay Area for the weekend.
