Nice use of solar powered "green" parts! I'm pretty sure you should be able to get some kind of tax write off for that. It looks soo cool on your bike.

LOL! Well, their headquarters is only a few minutes from where I work. A little known fact is that they actually have an extensive "Global Positioning Museum"...I know people that know people if you know what I mean...some of them specialize in...let's say..."acquisitions"...

You need to get them to find you a small Garmin logo for your old GPS.

Re: The Groundhog (Maybe NOT Steamed Rat...)

I'm going to be heading down to Fort Leonard Wood later this morning to visit my Daughter and Son-In-Law for a few days. We are going down to be there for the first sonagram(?) of the Grandfetus and will find out if its a boy or a girl. Then later this week I'm off to counsel 4th and 5th graders at Church Camp, back for three days then back out to counsel the high schoolers at camp for a week...It's awesome!...but I will be jonesin for bikeystuff!
Time is running short and I have all the "Steampunky" stuff that I want to put on the bike but am having a real hard time figuring out hows and wheres. Man it would be nice to have some tools and equipment to use. Maybe the time at camp will provide me with some Divine Inspiration.

Working on the "Forward Facing Bi-Polar Electro-Luminescent Device" today...also known as the F.F.B.P.E.L.D....Also known as the Headlight. It is based on a design by Dr. Michael Hfuhruhurr.

Re: The Groundhog (working on lighting...)

The idea and the parts for the headlight kinda fell together(literally)on their own. Figuring out how I was going to mount it was a whole different story!

Re: The Groundhog (working on lighting...)

Well that is some improvement there,well done...
