Shit - that reminds me... must secure lodging in Salida for the weekend.Just booked a room in Brevard for tomorrow. I are Pisgah bound.
Yay for bikees!!
@jstuhlman come ride Pisgah Proper on Friday. We can bang out a 7-8 hour epic monkey adventure with rawks’n gnur.
You're gonna be in Salida this weekend? Whatcha riding?
Shuttling the Crest with some friends - they are doing the Silver/Rainbow finish while the wifee and I are going to go down Starvation...
Sorry about that. We on fire over here.
You should have worn more flairFound out i didn't make promotion by 2 points.....
I didn't care that i didn't make it until i saw that.
Look, we want you to express yourself, okay? Now if you feel that the bare minimum is enough, then okay. But some people choose to wear more and we encourage that, okay? You do want to express yourself, don't you?
Hello Monkeys! Craigslist dreams do come true... I bought a c1950 Snap On tool box at a yard sale for $75.00, unfortunately the mechanic was an ignition specialist so I regretted the purchase and listed it on Craigslist for $200.00 local pick up only because it weighed 110 pounds. Two weeks later (yesterday) I was contacted by a guy on Florida who needed the front handle, emblem and small chrome strip for his restoration project. He offered me and additional $50.00 plus shipping to make it happen fast. Normally these kind of offers are total bullshit but this guy turned out to be legit - contact to cash was less than 12 hours and no stinking eBay fees.
Anyone want to buy 60 pounds of vintage ignition tools, sockets, files and rasps? I've already high graded them so they're gonna be cheap...

wood rasps?
i'm gonna go out on a limb here and say i don't think anyone ever experimented with wood based ignition systems
Oh.
I guess you're gonna miss out on riding Canyon Crick and Little Brown's then.
But you know... have fun.
I am on board.
I don't suppose you're going to try out the Trail 482 descent?
It's a gold mine of Snap On, Proto & Plumb - just not the ones anyone uses anymore so perfect for aircraft wrenching.
If Squeeb doesn't find them useful for his work toolbox, I have a good friend whose 11 yr old son is who is a wiz with small engine repair (mowers, atvs, snowblowers) who could take them off your hands and put them to good use...

Mmm... Starvation.
if shipping wasn't stupid I'd take some of those files.

can't quite tell what's in box #2 except for those roach clips! Any pieces of brass / drifts in there?
Good Afternoon!!!
Whew....busy day today. Installed this monster piece of acrylic for our buddies at XPO Logistics to start out. It was heavy....glad I had that extra cup of coffee this morning. Got to tour their robotics room - ***geek out*** - drones, laser cutters, robotic arms....dudes....glorious.

Had to look that up... Horseshoe Crick. We probably won't, just gonna ride the (known) good stuff on Trail #481. It does need to get explored at some point, but my sense is the preferred route will always be Canyon Crick.
Thats a bunch of good looking stuff

Except for a couple round rasps the files are not worth the shipping, I believe there are 3 brass drift punches, assuming I actually know what a drift punch is.
Box 2 contains a ton of outdated ignition tools that don't attract a lot of attention.
shoot me a price for the brass drifts, shipped to 80403!Except for a couple round rasps the files are not worth the shipping, I believe there are 3 brass drift punches, assuming I actually know what a drift punch is.
That's on my want to do list for a few weeks from now, may or may not happen.

I say let the kid have the tools. Probably works harder than me anyway.
You never know. From the looks of 482 it drops elevation way faster. Which... you know, can be fun.
You should make that happen.
Pro-tip: it's only a 1/2 day ride if you shuttle to the cemetery.
18 different Vacuum Grip pliers dating from the 20s to the 50s and a small assortment of Proto and Plumb wrenches, otherwise nothing special. I have a thing for tiny wrenches and pliers - the main reason I bought the box.
