I was very stoked to mark two of my wanted posts to “found” this week. Finally got a gorgeous Troxel #4 long spring saddle top thanks to the kindness of @bikesnbuses that I was able to pair with a decent chassis and scored most of a switched Delta teacup light from @bobcycles which I was able to complete and make function. Thank you gentlemen.

I picked up these killer pre war newspaper bag reflector hooks. These are cooler then most of my bikes haha

I had a friend of mine make a 15" long "Lucky 7" seat post for my '40 Western Flyer.

Another Dump find. A brand new Coleman butane stove. I bought a butane canister. Works great . Why someone discarded it I don't know. Can't want to go to the dump today.

And an American made model kit. 1956 White cab over with Fruehauf tanker.

I went to Memphis for some BBQ and Blues, I came back w/ a Schwinn Air-dyne near mint w/ the paperwork from 1986. Also found a polishing cloth and tin can BF Goodrich.

I dragged this 1960 Norseman Sportster motor scooter made in Minnesota out of the abyss....
I have only seen one other.. Probably time to find it a new home..

This past week wasn't about what I bought but what I sold, my house! I've been in the same house for over 15 years. I bought it right before the housing market tanked. I noticed some crazy selling prices around here so I threw it on the market as a FSBO. There wasn't much interest for the first couple months
but then a woman from Florida gave me my full asking price in cash and wanted to move in ASAP. I was kind of in shock but I knew that this was my one chance to get out from under this place. It felt more like an evacuation than a move but I made it happen. I'm going to miss all the space and the location but it feels good to be cut free from it. I had to make some hard choices and scrapped about 2000 pounds of bike and car parts. But a lot of that was the stuff that I "collected" only because nobody would buy it.

Moving day(s) is going to suck! I moved about six years ago and between cars, motorcycles, bicycles, and 40 years of 'stuff' it was almost overwhelming. Congrats on the sale so where to now? V/r Shawn

I moved into a place I bought a couple years ago as a rental/investment property in the next town over. It's a 1971 mobile home, almost no storage in the house, but luckily there's a garage. I've always turned up my nose at mobile homes but I have to admit I kind of like it, it feels so manageable. It's in a swanky neighborhood but because the town values the house at $6000 my taxes are so low it's ridiculous. And now I'm debt free!
