I have seen a lot of things, but never a fuselage stored on top of a car in the corner of a hanger.
Is that an Audi?

I like bikes!!!!

I have a 1963 Murray jet fire x66, a 1981 Schwinn predator, and a 1972 Schwinn breeze for the old lady

Sweet! We have a bike club here (Vancouver Wheelmen). I've got a 1960 Schwinn that's my regular rider, a 1953 Schwinn that's my secondary, a 1938 Elgin that's my Vintage Original and a 1915 Elgin that's my "old" bike.

My wife rides a 1952 Hiawatha and she's got a 1950ish Colson and  51 Schwinn. There's a bunch of others but they're more for trading than anything we have an emotional attachment to!

Ahhh, cool.



We got my wife a mixte frame early 70's Peugeot awhile ago, still needs some un-bent crankarms but she road it to school every day for
six or eight months.  Neat bike.

OK, I resisted for awhile but I am throwing in on this.  Other than rebuilding my house that is now larger than my wife and I will ever need, we have a habit of saving the world one bird at a time.  It started out with a friends Cockatiel.  Then came a nearly naked, cause he plucks feathers out, Cherry Headed Conure.  Follow him up with a White eyed Conure that eventually escaped, more Tiels, an Orange Winged Amazon, more Budgies, and finally another Conure and Amazon.  Right now we house 8, yep like 8V, birds in the aviary.  Which was the front living and dining room.  

All have issues as those of you that have adopted animals well know, they aren't perfect otherwise the owners would have kept them right?  This big Guy is my buddy, enemy when he takes meat off my bones and is the biggest talker.  We think he was raised by a little old lady because of his laugh and sigh combination.  His best string of words, and this is clearly heard out in the street by strangers:  "This Bird Wanna go for a Ride"  or sometimes he changes it to be-- go for a Drive.  Very clear, no mistakes, and lately he has been throwing in This Bird Wanna go for good.  But we aren't letting go of him.  

Why others couldn't make all our guys behave is our never ending question.  They are birds not dogs and you have to watch the hormonal stuff twice a year.  But being on the coast some of that is moderated, we think. So blah here and no thunderstorms or big heat.  

So Call me a bird brain IF you have to.  It is all my wife's doing she has the mercy heart.  

So this be POPEYE!  With "that look"  I would butter him up until his eyes were less orange before I tried to scratch his head.  He can do major damage to a half inch stick in one bite.  Flesh to the bone, don't ask how I know that one.  And bites cut from the bottom up as that is the sharper edge of the bill.

That is a Stinson 108 very lo hours like 450. Its for sale cheep. Its roped in the air like that cause it was the only safe spot in the building collapse we had a few yrs ago.
It didnt get damaged.  The corrado was my cousins. The dumass sorry French, left the e brake off and it rolled backwards into a tree and creamed the back. 88k on it. Poor car. I sold it to a friend.

Yeah those Amazons and the Conures can live for 70 to 40 years.  So I expect they will be around for my kids.  The Cockatiels  probably only go mid 20's but we have one that has to be at least that and he still gets around despite the broken leg.  The budgies are more like 7-10 if the big guys don't get to them first.  Already had that happen once.  One quick pop in the back of the neck and off the cage she went.  Broken neck in an instant.  I know how hard they bite if mad.  Scars on the fingers and wrists to prove it.  And just because they have been cuddly for a week doesn't mean today you won't get nailed.  Very cautious, like with a tiger around them.  Might be different if they weren't all abused before we got them.

My brother and his wife have had alot of birds, they're good pets, not for me tho.  He even had a parakeet that was very smart and cool to hang out with.  They're just like any other pet u gotta spend time with them and they become more friendly and more fun.

I used to shoot a lot, then I moved to California and everything I owned with a trigger or wheels on it (other than the Caddy) was illegal.  So..
