That is really cool! Sounds like you have a lot of great memories with skating. I haven't been skating in about 4-5 years easy. I'm really starting to miss it, haha.

I admittedly have never heard of rat rod bicycles before. But after a quick Google search i saw a few examples and they look very cool. That definitely looks like a fun hobby. I can especially appreciate the wrenching aspect of it. Making it your own and going for a ride.

Do you ever go for a ride while smoking a pipe? I can see it being fun, but also a pain due to the wind.
Yeah. Working on the bikes and making it your own is a lot of fun. I tried to respoke a Schwinn wheel once, let’s just say it took days longer than it should have 😑

I have never ridden with a pipe but now I’m considering it. Maybe a windscreen would do the trick. I’ll let you know how it turns out.

Oz, seeing your bulk bag of Squadron Leader reminded me of a discussion I read recently about it tasting differently in the bulk vs. the tin. I considered buying a bulk bag but have held off for that reason. Do you notice any difference in the two??
That’s the first time I’ve ever had Squadron Leader, so can’t comment on the tinned version.
It was quite damp out of the pouch.

Another gorgeous East Tennessee morning spent with Sun Bear Navy Cask folded and stuffed in an old Yello Bole and black coffee to drink. Why, oh why didn’t I order more of this stuff?!

Enjoying the peace now before I head over to my daughter’s house to “fix” a plumbing problem. Hopefully I’m done before the Vols game.
