And here I thought he was born and raised in Minnesota. Well I would not feel so all alone,....................

Tobasco for Bloody Mary, au natural or Worcestershire for everything else. Sometimes low sodium soy sauce to break up the monotony. Toasted sesame oil for steak-cut Ahi Tuna. Brown sauce was regularly served over mystery meat in the school cafeteria, perhaps to hide the flavor of the meat...

I know where Deland is. I had a Cousin that lived in Ormond Beach who I visited quite a bit. We don't get much snow on Cape Cod, but I have had enough of the cold. What I pay to heat my house will pay for my winter in Florida, it is what you call a no brainer.

The actual value of OCC was closely guarded, but I wouldn't be at all surprised to hear it was more than a Billion. I would imagine that the lawyers consumed most of it. That is what usually happens in family squabbles that make it to court. Anger and vindictiveness will overcome reason every...

Bora Natty, I grew up in Worcester Massachusetts and the biggest bike shop there was Eastern Cycle. It was owned by a family of Greek immigrants. They imported all English Bicycles, probably from their experience with them back in the old country. In Worcester, English bikes were everywhere...

Bora Natty, I looked at that for a while and think the front wheel is actually bigger than the rear. I am not sure why they did it that way. One of the OCC sons sketched up multiple proposed designs for almost all of their bikes, and he is the only son that continues in the Motorcycle...

Thanks Barrychuckle! I've never heard of that one. I will have to check that out on youtube or dailymotion.

Ok Barrychucle, I give up. Who is this dashing gent with the pink gauzy see-through blouse and the white loafers :D ?

There was a motorcycle fab shop in Orange County New York. It was a family business run (past tense) by a man and his sons. They fabricated some of the most unique to extreme chopper motorcycles for the rich and famous, for whom money was no object. Jay Leno had them fabricate a replica of a...

What people won't pay "In search of childlike joy and the farthest reaches of the lotus position".

I found an actual picture of Robin Williams on his chopper!

Schwinn made a Chopper decades ago. Robin Williams had one in his collection. I imagine it fetched a pretty penny when his collection was auctioned off. This picture was not Robin Williams actual bike.

I made a Frankenstein once. I was my Father's old Iver Johnson bicycle which featured 26" wheels, a two speed hub and coaster brake. It weighed a ton, I think it was made of pipe rather than tubing. I put on ape hangers, a sissy bar with banana seat and fork extension tubes. It looked like...

When I was a tot, my parents bought me an Irish Mail. It was a three wheeler where you sat on a box between the rear wheels, pumped a T-handle that came up between your thighs and steered the front wheel with your feet. It seemed that no one had heard of such a thing. People from work...

Sounds like a good description of 'The Three Stooges' to me.

Pre-owned 20" Columbia 1 speed with coaster brake

At the end of 'The Reluctant Traveler' Arkwright realizes he has lost the key to his money belt (lower abdominal strangler). He suggests to the nurse Gladys Emmanuel that she operate on it to remove it and he has a new line of hacksaw blades which should work well. She hits him and angrily...

Oooooh, and it is still valid! Do you have to use it to keep your qualifications? If you do, please do. We have a lot of retired Merchant Marine Captains on Cape Cod. In order to retain their licenses, they have to occasionally pilot boats of whatever displacement they are licensed for...

Since he was assessing your performance, do you suppose Major Points meant Made-your-points? I loved the website, it was enticing. The photo of the signalman's box was only missing Signalman Harry Lambert (our Smiler).

I was remiss in my previous post. If you are on Cape Cod and want to take away a memory, take an offshore Whale Watch excursion out of Provincetown. The boats go from Provincetown harbor to Stellwagon Bank. I suggest P-town because it is the closest port to Stellwagon. You spend more time...
