I was talking to Jolly at church on Sunday about that hub. I would think it would be easier to find a good welder out in the boondocks, than a bike shop. If it's an aluminum hub, it may take a welder with some special equipment but it would save having to remove all the spokes and rebuild the wheel, I would think. Maybe??

There were so many great photos on this day, I could not stop clicking on the heart! Nice and full day for you Jeff.

The blue sky! The white building. Nice shot.

The lighting on this photo makes it stand our beautifully, and the color is very nice.

Your canteens are better than my Clorox bottles...

But then, when I do drink tea, I fix it myself.

Well...

(In my best Aussie accent) Oil jus leave it at that.

Steve,
Yes, maybe . . .

Nancy,
The Hormel Compleats meals are pre-cooked, so don't need heating, according to my wife.
I do bring as many cans of my favorite sardines (King Oscar brand) with me as I can. When I run out of those, other brands are available at dollar stores.

Kathleen,
I think mowing is a hobby for some.
Jeff

One of those bike shops you referred to could build you a new wheel possibly.

Do you not need to heat the Compleats meal to eat it? Quite convenient. I also see sardines are a staple for your lunchtime meal. Do you bring a whole bunch of those with you or are you able to find those along the way.
I so enjoy all your posts!

Showy milkweed.

I have seen it happen...

And yet they still mow around this place. Interesting.

Nancy,
Yes! I asked him how long he'd been in business - about 3 years. Then I asked how long he'd been collecting buffalo related items - 50 years!
Not related to buffalo, and I didn't include the picture, but he also has two working pinball machines.
