Ashlinn and I went to the farmer’s market in Portland today. It’s in the middle of Deering Oaks Park, which makes it very convenient to fit into my “squirrel play” schedule.

Blue Raleigh
I spotted this fella while cruising around Portland. I like the color, but the owner didn’t do the best job of painting it. I’ve heard my father complain about orange peel since I was a kid, so seeing it has always bothered me. Other than that, it looks great.
Update: I reshot a few photos of this bike. See them here.
Architectural Paper/Wood Models
Have I ever mentioned how much I love these things?

Celery Generals
While on North Haven, Bagwell made us play his modified version of Celery Generals. In his version, each person constructs a few men made of celery then hides them around the house. If somebody knocks over or destroys your celery general, they have to eat it.
The final celery general.
Maine Cyclist Shirt!
I’m spending a few days on North Haven, hanging out with friends, starting fires, going surprise swimming and screen printing shirts at Fox I Printworks.
Gross
There was part of a belt in the urinal, so I peed on it.
Vintage Goldensports
Spotted in Rockland. Decked out with double mirrors, light, horn, panniers & a trunk bag.
Greasy Father
It turns out there are no bicycle shops in western Maine that stock hub grease. This became an issue when I went to overhaul the front and rear hubs and the headset on the Puch. As usual, there’s a solution in Dad’s garage, but it ain’t pretty.
I suppose it’s close enough to what I would have bought at a bike shop, but the color is going to be very misleading when I open it up to inspect for dirt later.
Beach Art with Bagwell
Bagwell and I went for a ride to the beach yesterday and put sticks in the ground.
