Thanks guys. But that didn't come from anything but sweatology. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

You see most evenings I try to get home before dark so that Miss Glenda and me can climb on our old Schwinn Cruisers for a butt peddlin' session.

We have some gentle hills that'll make the legs burn and the lungs scream for air. But the real thrill comes from the reactions of the kiddos who go gaga over the Santa riding with no hands!

BTW we want a tandem. I'm not really sure how it'll work. About half the time she slips in the mind reading capability and turns left when I've decided to go right. Even though every other time I've went left. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

We've had some fronts go through I do believe. The old carpul tunnel and plain old joint pains have been doing more than their fair share on my attitude today.

I do believe so, too. We had a frog stranglin' gulley washer for about 20 minutes this afternoon, with wind blowing strong enough that the 10' x 24' patio cover might as well have not been there. It not only drenched the patio, but was hitting the door, wall, etc.

The good part is that I got the yard mowed this morning, and I brought the brisket in from the grill on the patio about an hour before it hit. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

I was wondering if you had the same "getcha for that gotcha umpteen years ago" feelings I was. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

It was sprinkling lightly. Enough to cause me to roll up the welding leads but not enough to cause me to pause if I was setting posts. After it passed I looked around and decided to get back out and weld some more. Then I looked down at the watch and and since it was five thirty I decided I had put in a day.

I drove about a block and ran into a wall of water. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif Who says being lazy doesn't work out some days?

Our tandem is an old Schwinn Twinn 5 speed. The gears aren't low enough for hills or high enough for speed, but just right for a long ride and talk with the daughter /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif We can still outrun most yappy dogs, but stay off the streets with the long legged mutts /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I guess we'd better get back on topic. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Peddlin' butt can be fun but unless you're first name is Lance it doesn't pay the bills. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Now I suppose most folks figure I do more typing on the internet than working. Not so. I occasionally do work.

Besides welding in the pipe fence at "the gate".

Ready to place up on the posts. Note my little boom all stuck out there.

I called son in law over, he's a gearhead, loves Iris, toot, but my daughter loves him, and he does what he's told, most days. Anyway he's operating Iris on this one.
