Tools, testosterone and bicycles.

My day began somewhat hectic today having found a garage to work in just yesterday.
I went out and bought some tools and four jack stands that can bear the weight of the car (12 tons together).

I figure that these will do for removing the wood gas furnace, remove the antenna stands and help me take care of surface rust in nooks and crannies.

I wish I could've been out working on the sow but months ago me and a couple of friends had bought tickets to see the annual MMA event here in town. It is usually pretty grand and the local club fighters from "Renyi" usually win over the opposition. I won't go into further detail though as this blog is about something else but here is a complimentary picture.

I went home about half-way into the event wanting to try my new tools out. I switched the original seat on my bike to a newer one that I bought earlier today. Its nowhere near as nice but two out of three bolts had fallen out from the original seat and as I'm bicycling downtown later to meet up with the friends who are still at the event, I did not feel like crashing and dying. The pictures below were taken with the original seat in place. I've added reflexes because of the strict laws here and mounted sturdy locks to keep it from getting stolen.

I lost a bike like this one two weeks ago but were lucky enough to find this one cheap 20 minutes after the previous owner had put the add up online. He had worked with the armed forces at materials management and saved this bike once the military started selling them. He had renovated everything, even the pump which still bears the three crowns. The original seat is made of pine and leather so unfortunately it broke when the bike fell over in a strong gust of wind a few days ago. The new one is much uglier and not as comfortable. I'm hoping to be able to fix the original seat this winter. I also think that this bike will look good in a bike rack behind the TP21!
