Finally riding a big boys bike
Last weekend I picked up this wood slab clock. Its fairly large and measures 29" at it widest point. On the back side there is a tag that says "Wood from California" The wood is very heavy and weights about 20 pounds (Edit: 27 pounds, I just weighed it). Does anyone from that area know what type of tree it might have come from. I plan to give it to my father next time a gift is do, I think he will like it as he has a similar looking table in one of his rooms.
I also picked up this in-expensive pair of 10x50 binoculars for 6$. I have a small collection of nicer binoculars in various powers, and have been reading up lately on modifications people perform to make them better. I thought this would be a nice cheap set to practice on.
They were out of alignment when purchased, and were not very impressive at all. I already took them apart cleaned the lenses and mocked them back up together. After a little trial and error the image is much better now, but not as nice as some of my nicer pairs. Next I plan to paint the non reflective walls of the prisms black, and add in some rolled black paper tubes, and just use them as a experiment to practice up on some modifications I have read about. I just want to see how well I might be able to get them to perform, and also see first hand what effect the various modifications may have.
Once done, I plan to keep them as a beater set. They will live in my car, and be used when I take the canoe out fishing.

Finally riding a big boys bike
Finally picked up a few things last week after a long dry spell. The Stingray owners manual and Predator marketing piece came from a bike shop that is in the process of going out of business. The owner said he had the good stuff at his house and told me to give him a call in September. The Suburban is in incredible condition. Couldn't have been ridden more than a handful of times.
I picked it up on an online auction.
