HARPO
Cruisin' on my Bluebird
I know, I know. I keep saying I'm going to stop looking, like when I brought the Sports home three days ago.
But my first cup of coffee is with the computer.
So, this morning as I start to do my usual trolling on Facebook, new things always appear first. I glance at the screen and see a green Raleigh. It's listed as "Bicycle"...that's it. I open it up and it has four photos, with the location being 9 miles from my house.
The bike had been listed only 3 hours before I saw it, so of course dummy here HAD to contact the guy. He'd be around at 2 this afternoon, he told me, so I said great! I'll see you then.
He only listed the bike at $150, but I still managed to get it for $125 and he was happy to take it. He gets bikes at Police auctions for around $50, so he put $75 in his pocket and I put an all original (except tires) in my SUV.
Just got to take these photos when I got it home before the rain started. Oh, and he started to remove the chain with a Sawz-all and I stopped him before he'd wind up damaging the paint!
