Sunday's Show and Tell...6/1/25

[Hastings]

Picked up this nice b6 project and this little painted DX 20”. We needed the og wheels for my sons og DX project. Went to this hoarder house picked up a ton old tins and oil cans a quarter each. Some random store display stuff. The hoarder house was full of 1950-1960s men’s vintage clothing. I called my clothing expert friend that has a store and online store for men’s clothes he said it retails over $10k. Super score at $1 a garment that was seconds from getting thrown away.. we’re splitting the proceeds. Nice morning at the flea markets picked up a ton of stuff to sell on marketplace too much to picture. Really Good week. Happy Sunday.

Another local farm bike find. 41 Dx with an H9 serial. It’s Black under the house paint. Was refurbished with 1950’s parts.
Seller threw in his Grandmas Native (Kikiallus) River Salmon Harpoon, 40’s era Randolph Co2 Extinguisher, and a Ohlsson Rice Chicken Power bicycle engine.
The Dx was Grandpas. His name was Nork “the viking.” He would play bike tag with the grandkids on their Stingrays. The seller Tom said they could keep away from him on the side streets and ally but he always caught them on the main drag in Conway Wa.
Fun visit ! He was selling the homestead and contents. I stayed all day and helped him organize and load a few trailers.

I got this ladies wingbar off of Facebook marketplace, and it is in way worse shape than I thought. I made a post about it here, and would love to know your thoughts.

Some Family time. Son Devan, his G/F Sabine, their Son/my Grandson Jaylen, my GF Heather and my Daughter Shayla. Got my Grandson versed on the controls on the '58 Triumph Trophy 650. We got as far as "Stop" and "Fast". He likes to take stuff home with him but I limit it to small hot wheels, usually a newer ( old design/newer toy) Corvette. He's only 4 and is pretty diciplined not to grab at all Grandpa's toys. I make sure he has lots ( mainly vintage Tonka's) he can play with when he comes over, and can drive "his" pedal car. It stays here. His "other" Grandpa ( lives in Quebec, Canada) gave him a plastic battery "electric car" with automatic drive and radio. Hmnnnn..... My way is old school, pedal buddy. ( Note the ballooner on Jaylen's shirt, a gift when he was born from me)
