Since it's storming here today, I guess I will work on the junker bike I just bought. That is if I don't decide to just sit here playing on the computer all day.

I think I'll write a short story instead. I'll post a link when I finish it by 3pm. I love a good challenge.

Okay now what do I do. I finished this by noon and he roads are soaked. Guess I'll go work on the junk bike.

copy and paste it please. For some reason the hot link wont work. I copied it and pasted just to make sure and that seems to work... Let me know.

After I finished that I removed all the 21speed junk from the bike and turned it into a single speed. Not sure the gear ration but it's the way it worked best. I shortened the chain and adjusted the wheel and it works.

I pumped up all the tires and installed the front tire

I switched the seat to one for a wide rider (me)

Switched the wheel for the 24 inch on the china bike.

Set the speedometer pickup back to the new wheel.

took a good look at the little engine and decided I might want to put it onto the front wheel of the 31cc bike. that would give me something like fifty ccs. Not sure it would help but I don't see how it could hoit.

So for a rainy day I got a lot done.

Hello Dolly! Laptops rock! No power but lots of wind & rain. Hey Deacon Must be that kind of day, It's rainin' sideways here

not that much rain here just now and then and enough to make riding iffy. Rather stay dry than take a chance here. Hope you do okay in the wind and rain.

My kids lived in Corpus for a couple of years. The first 2 months they were there they had to evacute twice. I'm glad they aren't down there now. I won't worry so much now.
