Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
One look at that structure and I knew it was something special. A very impressive building for frontier times.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
I dragged my Klunker out to revive it last week. I found the bare frame and fork lying on a farm dump up on the mountain back in '77 and brought it home. It's a '40s Columbia, once a top of the line bicycle. I didn't figure I'd ever find all the parts to restore it but I surely wanted to build something I could ride out of it. Then I read an article about Klunkers being built in Marin County, old balloon tire adult-size bikes with gears adapted to them. They were mostly for rockin' & rollin' downhill and the gears allowed them to be ridden back up. So I found my goal. The process of locating parts led me to Twigg's Cycles in Hagerstown, MD owned by a very enthusiastic man. It was there that I learned of the Schwinn Klunker5 that they had just come out with, and got to ride one. He helped my find some really cool parts for my custom build that consisted of a combination of vintage, beach cruiser (also a new thing), and adapted BMX parts. I built my own version of the Schwinn which was the first adult fat tire off road bicycle, predecessor to the mountain bike.
Well, time moved on, and the bike found it's way to the back of the pack, needing new cables and tires. And now it is getting those parts and she will roll once again! That black bike is the Schwinn I found many years later and ride regularly

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
I sometimes think I might like to ride an old balloon tired bike again, just for old times sake. I mentioned it to the wife last year as an employee had a modern big tire bike for sale cheap. I thought the wife might like it. She wasn't interested. Me? Heck no. I wish I had the energy to ride one again.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
You still have it. In this area we are lucky to have the C&O Canal National Historic Park. The old tow path is a well maintained hike and bike trail. The grade is so easy you can peddle up river without feeling you are peddling up hill. It runs about 120 miles from Washington, DC to Cumberland, MD in the mountains. There are rail to trail paths all over. Again, trains needed an easy grade so riding is very easy. Check into what might be in your area. It's a great feeling to ride a bike, same as when you were a kid. Good exercise that won't tear you up also. No motor noise lets you ride right up on wildlife, too, same as paddling a canoe or kayak. I love doing both. Paddling down river is easy good exercise. I never hurt after doing that. Usually run between 7 and 15 mile trips. Usually in a kayak on the Shenandoah River in Page Valley, VA. We paddle up on all sorts of wildlife. Both make beer taste really good when you're done

Eventually he will get to assembling that stepper he's had under tarp for many years.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
Shoot, I let that slip into the pictures to remind you all. I have a little garage built for it, but my son's Ranger I built it around has to get gone first. We finally got the title from his mom...after convincing her it is safe in our hands AND you have to have a title in hand to sell a vehicle!!! I have a file cabinet with a file full of titles. I'm not the one who loses titles. I don't feel like tugging it out just to tuck it in somewhere else. Hopefully he can sell it soon. Life will be good when that happened. It's all closed up, needs doors and a slab, but I'm happy with it as it is for now. Mo' better than under tarp!

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
My pickle jar. It used to be in the local market on the meat counter. But they were closing their doors (unfortunately) and selling everything off. I've bought a lot of pickles out of that jar. I like pickles. So I bought it.
![]() This is the market it came from. I hope somebody opens it back up. ![]()
