ProVarinati Diner & Saloon and Beyond

Damn...five years without a cigarette... Whodahthunk that was ever possible for a die hard going to die by my my own hand smoker like me? Amazing stuff this vaping thing... It got under my skin deep and changed my whole world and the way I look at things. I wasn't looking to quit the cigs when I tried vaping , it was just to placate my wife who kept nagging me to at least try it out and see if it helped, well, I guess it did help, cause I started puffing on that Ego battery and T3s clearo and I never looked back...eff you tobacco companies and government lackeys...never another skinny thin dime from my hands into your coffers for what things made me a cougher

Congratulations !!!

Down in the Trailer Park:
What we have on the plate tonight is a succulent zucchini lasagna, tender large summer squash sliced very thin, layered with ricotta blended with fresh chopped oregano and rosemary, five italian cheese blend and some shredded aged pecorino Romano cheese that smells like old sneakers lol. coupled with a putanesque meat sauce all baked together in a home style comfort food,

for satisfying the soul... Ooops! didn't wait for it to set up before serving

And here's my other ride, circa 1995, pretty much done working on this old girl, she will carry me 20+ miles a day and not leave me feeling too sore...

I'm sure am glad you posted these pics! Pretty cool! I miss riding my bike. At one time, it's all I used to do.

Yes, me and chief will be there.

For various reasons, I am so far from being a bicycle person it's probably unmeasurable. But I do like quality things, especially things with beautiful parts that also have to work precisely with each other. That bike is stunning. I've been staring at the pictures for a few minutes now and still finding things to admire.

Congrats on finding that and helping it come back to life.

That's me, the one hangin on by a thread

hell. aren't we all! Living on the edge.

Umm, well, good question. Something I did to it caused it to get a rip (crack, tear) in it. It was a long time ago so I don't really remember. I think I was trying to inspect underneath it to see what looked it liked where the pin came out and I tore it with that damn o ring tool.

LOL.
Remind me to not fool with what's working well.
Another way of saying it: something about curiosity and cats, but I don't remember.

Thanks GG.
I did a test ride and noticed a clicking in the drive train, I guess I will be seeing the insides of this machine sooner than I thought, I think the free wheel ( rear gear assembly), just needs a good cleaning and lube, every time I get my hands on an old machine, I gotta chase the bugs out of the works part of the deal with making a bond with mechanical things. I must have admired this old ride dozen times or more before deciding to pull the trigger on it, so glad I did now, going to take it for a spin on the trail tomorrow before beginning the disassembly of the rear wheel, prolly needs the bearings re-packed as well. Them Austrians built a lot of class into such a basic machine.

Both said what I would have. I only add that your posts are among the few I always read. And thank you for always be willing to answer my (and others') questions in an accurate and clear manner.

Bea, from both hearts, thank you.
