bike on...
Much more time looking and thinking than doing today. Had to alter and re weld the sprocket mount then jigged the bike into position for some pondering. Four hours later - executed my best guess. Nice cloud cover took the edge off for more cutting and welding. Now that all the essentials are in place, I have some binding and slipping issues to contend with. Grease the bearings - dress the belts. 86,101,66, 0,B

ReplyDeleteYou should make a bicycle horn that squirts out laundry detergent.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you've spent too much time with your worsher project. Benita seems to be wondering who this new longhorn she's up against.
ReplyDeleteSeems like you need the handlebars to hold while you pedal.
ReplyDeleteOr some other kind of handhold....perhaps a music stand to put books on to read while you wash, dry and spin.
Recumbent seat, shade structure, fan...

ReplyDeleteSweet dear Benita. How we love her.
I'm thinking small tv and rabbit ears for the front. Then you can name the new art work "Chasing Technology"
ReplyDeleteDo you have any calculations as to how many loads of wash it will take to break even with the fuel expended on generator/welder?

ReplyDeleteIf you detected some sarcastic malice in my previous post none was intended.
