This particular song reminds me of the time I had a '64 Honda 305 "Dream,"
with a "Scrambler" Front end.....

I was 16 and had just gotten my drivers license!
I applied for and received my
Motorcycle addition and have had that endorsement for the last 40 years.....
No matter where I've traveled or lived...I have kept up my current License....
No Bike,
Right now,
But I'm good to ride....
And I'm usually sober.....

Huh?

Really?
Oh....damn.
Sorry......
My Bad.....
-------


I bought that bike in the late '6o's for $50.
It didn't run, then......
But, I brought it life!



One night, in my Dad's garage, late at night,
I readied myself for a "kick-start" after a month's work.....

Fuel Petcock open?

Yep!

Plug wires attached?
YEP!

HIT IT!!!

KICK IT, SCOTTY!
----------------------------------------------------


(That bike later brought about my first major cycle wreck.
With an idiot....SPOILER: I Lived! The bike?

Yeah. I fixed it up and sold it.For a LOT more than $50. Wouldn't you?)

The second wreck, my bike was lifted to the tow truck in two pieces.....

Yeah, I lived that time, too....
---------


Anyhow,
Last week, A fellow was restoring a '64 Dream and needed a key made for the ignition.

Can you say, a, "DREAM" Irony?

Yeah,
I made the key and cut him a second one.....

$20

And, such is Life....


"Best damn game in Town!"

My Best Wishes,

Always,

Scott

Who will win Scott's Silver Quarter?
A "Rat Race?"

Rat Race (2001) - IMDb



Best,

Scott

Key phrase here is, "Story."

Be mindful of spelling, grammar and such....

If no winners are determined, said silver quarter will be spent,
in a vending machine.

So Sad.....

Oh, and the story must be truthful. (Jeff?)

Photos count highly....

Questions?


​

And so it came to pass that Sunday's snow melted. Monday yielded to mud and high winds.
Treed areas were out of the question so off to an open clay field.
Being wet led to the usual arguing with detector over what lay beneath.
Zinc cents giving a quick bleep and dropping to an iron signal. Other signals dropping to iron before getting a look at where they registered and not improving when swinging coil tightly above them,or just plain evaporating into...yes iron again after a hopeful indication.
So when in doubt, scratch something,whatever it is with the Lesche.

Running jewelry mode and eventually knocking out lowest level of iron discrimination allowed for multiple signals to sort mixed trash.
One plug having can slaw and a cent. Another the small iron nail(the nail pictured under round mysterious item) and another cent.
The 47 Rosie was on edge and I gashed him right through the eye and all the way across,arghhhh.

Wind knocked the detector over twice laying on the ground while plugs were being dug and on one gridding run blew the strapped sack that rides on the chair back up over onto me. Checked for possible lost contents like the note pad with potential cache site, and all was well.

Concentrating on trying to hear the wireless headphones on soft tones in the wind led to an ol gal sneaking up on me unnoticed and asking if I needed help.
Shame on me for not being aware of my surroundings like normal...I yelled "Holy cow "plenty loud in response though!Poor gal did not know if she should run or fight but she recovered, at a safe distance.

A good days hunt. Some quarters dimes and cents, no nickles,hmmm.

Still not sure of a debris field direction. It may be cross hatched. A former optometrist's home with no sign of any having been there.
The round black ring is mostly flat and has a bent tail. Near the road the drive would have been off from it might be from one of those lights to peek in ears or eyes? If not ,no clues as to former resident or relics. Perhaps the silver dime relates.
A lamp wick winder last year was from same area.(In picture below with other recoveries from same site last year.)

Happy Hunting all; and here's a spring hunt story Scott!
(After the deadline,allowing you to spend your quarter as you see fit).

You have also provided well focused pictures and a very descriptive narration.

Well done, my Friend!

I certainly hope that this little "contest" has provided inspiration to

GET OUT AND ENJOY!

[Togreenfeet]

Very well done. RC gets my vote!!!!

 

[Togreenfeet]

Thought for today- Only in quiet waters things mirror themselves undistorted. Only in a quiet mind is adequate perception of the world......

 

[bill from lachine]

2GF,

How you doing buddy??

Regards + HH

Bill

 

[Togreenfeet]

I'm doing fine. Went to my 8 year olds baseball game tonight. Spoke with a Vietnam era Vet friend of mine as we cheered grand kids and great grand kids on. We won! I'm ok Ever vigilant. Thank you for asking friend

 

[bill from lachine]

Scott,

Glad you managed to get out and swing the coil.

Regards + HH

Bill

 

[Togreenfeet]

Holy cow I just realized something...... My wife and I are a couple days from our 33rd wedding anniversary..... Ok gang I'm open for any ideas.....what can I get her that say thanks for sticking with me, I know it's been hard but she's put up with me! HELP

 

[bill from lachine]

2GF,

Well if you're fairly good in the kitchen you could whip up a nice gourmet/romantic dinner for starters.

Regards + HH

Bill

 

[Togreenfeet]

Good idea....I like it

 

[AU24K]

I like the idea of cooking a meal....

How about grilling for many?

If you were I, or something like that,

I'd play it "low-key" that day,

Suggest heading to a beach that night for a "little" get-together....

And when you arrive to the location,
Many friends are already there, the grill is ready, the drinks flow and,
Then,

You stop all partying,
And declare, once again,
Your Love, devotion and dedication.

Toasts will surely follow!

She, nor you or any Friends in attendence will ever forget the event!

My Toast to You and yours!

Best Wishes,
Always,
Buddy!

Congrats!


Scott

[Togreenfeet]

Great idea too. I'm going to cook her favorite meal. She's a true Southern girl and it isn't everyday she gets fried potatoes, corn bread, macaroni and tomatoes, fried pork chops, and her mom passed away in 2003 and we have 2 cans of moms green beans left...... Always the best green beans on the planet. What do you guys think of that meal? It's her favorite!!!!! Can't get it if I take her out to eat...... Better start peeling them taters!

 

[bill from lachine]

2GF,

Go for it and enjoy the special day.

Regards + HH

Bill

 

[G.I.B.]

what can I get her that say thanks for sticking with me, I know it's been hard but she's put up with me! HELP

I'd suggest a nice pinpointer, and she could probably use a tool kit too.

 

[Togreenfeet]

Rog-o bought them taters today!

 

[Togreenfeet]

GIB you always come thru and make my laugh buddy. That's funny...... I promised her an upright organ to play...... Wait for it......wait for it...... Think about that for a few seconds.....haha

 

[Togreenfeet]

I'm going to get in trouble for that one but that's just funny right there I don't care who you are.....
