Nice jeans.
The bicycle.
Hasn’t needed much improvement since pneumatic tires were added. Yes, carbon fibre, derailleur gears and all that is great, but just flashy add-ons to the idea.
How about this one:
From near the end of the production run.
This one was born in 1954.
The model 66 line started out in 1900 as a treadle and then a hand crank. An electric motor was added in 1920 (?).
I picked this up at an auction last weekend for $70. With a box full of thread and accessories I have no idea how to use.
Needed a good cleaning and I had to rewire the wall cord. The original was a bit cracked after 67 years. The speed control needed a rework too. But now it runs like a champ.
All the Best,
Jeff
At least my seat has!
The same auction that I got the sewing machine at, some fancy mountain bikes sold for $2500!! Well used.
There were even some tandem mountain bikes. Which sounds like a serious wreck waiting to happen.
All the Best,

Something is not right, I never saw a steak that looked like that. Its not a ribeye or porterhouse, or anything I have ever seen. Must be photo-shopped.
It’s real enough. It’s not a normal steak. And it isn’t all that great a cut. Don’t really know what it is.
Went there once, in my younger days I might have been able to do the job. but wasn’t impress with the look of the contest steak.
Current record holder, a lion, got the job done inn 80 seconds.
But the monarch of steak eating is Molly, who downed 3 of them!
This video should confirm to the rest of the world that America is the land of conspicuous consumption!
Many years ago I was in Calf. A buddy of mine and I went to some hole in the wall restaurant.
On Thursdays, they had an all you could eat ribs night. The only people in the place were the two of us, a nice normal looking couple, and 6 huge guys a few table over.
The cost was fairly expensive and I’m sure the restaurant normally came out on top. Not Tonight.
Us and the big guys were having a good time. Once they saw we were keeping up with them it became a matter of pride.
After about 30 ribs each, the staff just gave up and come out to watch. The other diners were appalled.
The big guys were Oakland Raiders, vs two guys form Texas. Three of them eventually outpace me. I was hurting for two days.
I’m sure the NFL was training as usual the next day.
A good time was had by all, except the owners.
All the Best.

Johnsonville Jalapeno Sausage.
Emmmmmm Good.
Must be cooked over a real wood charcoal fire. It’s the law west of the Pecos.
All the Best,

I don't like analogue watches for myself, but the design of this type of watch has stood the test of time.
RC,
I have a buddy who has a Rolex. He swears that something about him kills all electronic/digital watches in a few months.
But I can tell it annoys him when I can be sure of the exact time on my solar powered Casio Atomic that cost less than the tax on his Rolex.
American Pocket watches were the best time keepers of their era.
All the Best,
Jeff
For any watch aficionados that have 50 minutes to marvel at intricate mechanical designs:

Hank Hill would differ.
My daddy says butane is a bastard gas…
Best lines:
Hank: Peggy, I can’t shoot.
Peggy: Sharp intake of breath - I still love you Hank.
“Bobby! I got pro-pane in my u-rethra!”
Wow… this one was tough to decide….
I will have to go with racoon city’s “Jeans” entry.
Thanks!
I'd like to see interesting car tail lights.
My mom and I prefer the ones for the Ford Mustang.
I will also accept interesting car headlights and other car lights.

How about interestingly classical….
