Back in the day there was a rumour going round that there were military suplus Harley Davidson motorcycles to be had. I dis-remember the exact details, but I do remember a group of us Air Force types were to pool our money to get one, or several in a lot, or something.
Anyway, it never happened. The book The Vanishing Hitchhiker, by Jan Harold Brunvand, mentions this urban legend.
Well, I'm re-creating the dream on my model railroad by putting one of those motorcycles I was working on in a shipping crate. So far, I've got the crate done, made out of plastic.
This picture is pretty much the same, so don't look at it.
I think the box came out rather well. Now I need to get some guys to stand around looking at it.
I was given this cute little pencil lead box. You may look at it.
The leads would be contained in the wooden tray.

It's not JUST about what I had for breakfast...

Yo! Been busy with my brother, sister-in-law and nephew in town this weekend. Lori had to attend a conference in Anaheim on Wednesday so she brought my bro & nephew. My parents drove down and stayed with the in Anaheim & went to Disneyland on Fri. My parents went back home on Saturday but my bro & his family stayed the night. We had a great time. Jeffrey is a very bright. He'll be two on the 24th of Nov. Already speaking some 2 word sentences. I caught a cold after the Daughtry concert. I kept Jacob home today cuz he had runny nose and cough. Last night I could tell he was draining and he was wheezing a bit but that was gone by this morning so I thought it would be best to keep him home and I think that was a good idea. His energy level is fine and his nose & coughing has almost stopped. I'm sure that it'll kick up again by this evening. It does for me. Anyway, cool pics. I think my dad had that scripto box too.
