    If I ever find a rattan, leopard or reptile saddle I'll change. For now this orange stiching matches my orange tin features.

    Some Dollar Tree Storage Ideas

    The last component is the chain guard. I chose a Huffy guard over the slim Romet unit. The Huffy has billboard properties! My go to source for vinyl has always been JBY graphics on Amazon. Always crisp and clean. After thinking about a name for many days I settled on James Michener's...

    My neighbor delivers papers in the wee hours. He picked up these two matching Huffy Lockland 7 speeds on Monday for me. I adjusted everything and have them ready to give away. The paper man said the snowbirds are starting to arrive and are doing their annual throwing out of stuff.

    I remembered that I was going to make a headbadge. Removed the eyelet and concaved the back of a bronze diecast tiki. Filled the back with JB Weld Epoxy putty. The filled and radiused area gives me a surface for 3M auto emblem tape. The installed tiki headbadge.
