Sunday's Show and Tell ...7/11/21

Roach of the week. I picked this up at a garage sale. I have no idea who made it. The guy said it was his bike in 1977 and it was old when he got it. Also a interesting magazin.

Found some nice things last weekend in North Carolina at the Old Threshers Reunion in Denton and a few Muscle Machines from ebay!

Finally got this sexy lady back to New Mexico; future glamour shots forthcoming!
The Hoppy counter display arrived; also picked up this 1944 Morrow blackout hub and a Flying Ace badge.

NY does't have the goodies the west has so I settle for a little less. Found a late 50s JC Higgins Flightliner that will make a nice bike I believe with some elbow grease and it looks to be a complete original except for pedals? It still has the Allstate tires but the rear is gone as seen in pic 3, darn! The battery boxes and super nice, no corrosion. Any ideas on how to bring back the paint, I have a handle on the chrome. This bike was produced when I was about 12.

Sometimes it's more about what you get rid of more than what you gain. Started a weight loss journey in January. That number was just about 240 when I started, blood pressure wasn't great and crazy snoring during sleep. BP under control and (according to my wife) my snoring has lessened significantly. Still want 20 more off. Takes dedication, but worth it for anyone!

Not my greatest discovery . That being said the bike was cheep and has great parts plus super looking wheels. The people I bought it from drove a hour to meet me half way and they where awesome to talk to.

Congratulations! I hope you reach your goal! I’m on the same journey. I was already eating good but dropped my biggest vice. Beer. Stopped drinking it a few months back and have dropped over 20 pounds. The night time chain saw has been quieter for the wife. I’d like to get into the 185-190 range. Work in progress

Congratulations... I did the same thing with last years alone time.. BP's up, no energy....Started at 267, last week 224...
My goal I made with my doctor was 220 to get of the meds.....still drink my beer, but not as much, and not as early.. Keep up the good work, you'll make it.

Congrats guys on the healthy choices! I've been fortunate to still be wearing the same size 32 X 34 jeans I've worn since high school. Still drink some beer but average 12k to 16k steps a day, and probably 12 fights of stairs, lots of walking at work, plus some pedaling when time allows. No bikes for me the past few weeks, but finally put together a deal on some of my all time favorite cars, two Buick Grand Nationals. Both came from same owner who passed a few years back, the 86 he ordered new, has 60k miles, and the 87 he bought from a friend in 87 has 30k miles. They came from Texas and are extremely clean and well maintained. Was a pretty good deal, and both cars function and look great! I've had my 87 convertible for about 10 years, so now I guess I'm collecting these! Lol
