“Bob on Bob”

For a long time, I’ve dreamed about a box set containing Bob Dylan covering Bob Seger songs and vice versa. Admit it, you can’t think of two other people named Bob that you would want to see swap songs…

Retro Bike Gets Retro Light

In case you haven’t heard, I picked up one of these. A bike with a strong old world style like this obviously can’t be covered with new fangled plastic lights. Thus began the long process of creating an acceptable headlight. First, I started with a Big Beam flashlight that I found at the Pacific Galleries outdoor flea market. I removed the chromed bubble and lens from the rest of the light. I replaced the toggle switch and wired it to a gutted LED flashlight that was a mere $6 at the hardware store. I’m still tweaking the mounting bracket, but this will work for now. The end result:

Next project; tail light.

Weekend Extravaganza

I’m working this weekend; next weekend I work one day and hit up the Jet City Comic Show the other day. The next weekend is the 8th annual BrickCon (yup, Lego convention) and the weekend after that is the Oregon Handmade Bike Show, all the way down in Portland. Hell yes.
