I have never showed up in the 30+ years that I have been sent a notice for it. I'm nobody's peer and I'm doing all involved a favor by not showing up.

same here, but LA county doesn't seem to care.
hell i have ADD. i can be staring right at ya, looking like im paying attention but my mind is elsewhere, no clue what's coming out of your mouth. you would think that would be detrimental to my ability to be a juror, but that isn't enough medical reason to get out of having to serve :shock:
spotted this today. its ether a 65 or 66
I hate bird droppings...
Wait a minute...
Is that a feminist symbol painted right on that intersection?? :D
its a + that ends at a manhole cover
as for the bird poop, every July crows show up the second week of the month and stick around until early August. and every morning between 4:30 and 5:30 am they go ape shit in the trees out in front of my house and crap all over everything. so when you park in the street your vehicle gets painted with bird poop every morning. if you park in the driveway just the back half of your car gets hit. its super annoying. and iv given up giving a damn, in about another week ill hose it all off.

The patina enthusiasts will love this parking space. Acid shit is the magic bullet! :D

yeah, you should see the roof of my 2015 Toyota Tacoma. between the birds and sun damage... :x
so they finally raided the drug house over by the middle school earlier this week... i love the way they report it, talk about seizing at least 9 guns, list 2 outright (you guessed it, an AR-15 and a 12 gauge shotgun) then skim over the drugs as "narcotics and paraphernalia". the drug dealer was out on 50,000 bail a few days later, so don't worry, im sure meth and fentanyl are still flowing freely within eye shot of the school.
the neighbors have been bitching for about a year now about public drug use, fights, and finding drug paraphernalia in there yards. so i guess it was taken care of in a timely manor :lol:
Another barn find: mom's 1970 Hercules folding bike...
Well not a find really - I knew it was there but forgotten for about 20+ years.
Just fetched and dusted it. All original except for the tires, saddle and pedals.
Still rides like a charm and I can't help it but this thing is cool in a way.
May be another small project. ;)
I went for a bike ride a week ago. I haven't been able to wear anything since. These are chigger bites. I had the exact same thing happen last year on the same ride. I'll never go there again in the summer.
Holy crap! :o Ouch!! :shock:
i think you found something worse than Asian tiger mosquitos. :shock:
i saw this on my home from work. 71 super beetle
Took my grandfather's 1950 Elite out for a ride.
It handles quite different compared to a modern MTB but once you got the hang of it it's a blast! :)
wow, your family has some great bikes stashed away and what great condition they're in!
The Elite isn't in original condition (unfortunately)...
My dad refurbished it back in the early '80s. The original paint was almost gone so the current design is a creation from his memory.
May be some day if time permits and If I can get some info about the original design I may tackle it.
how about a flashback. a day in the life back in i think March 2003

Removed the KLEIN's fork to address some headset issues and tackle the faulty shifters.
Well... As expected - owing to th PO's excessive use of a pressure washer - both headset bearings were corroded
thus the rough handling. Man... Removing them was fun! :evil: New ones are ordered.
Took the shifters apart. Had no idea how they work so learned something new about Japanese precision engineering. :)
Anyway... The cracked plastic covers didn't cause the malfunction.
That tiny catch in the foreground (shaped like an anvil) didn't engage correctly. It didn't even move.
There were no signs of wear. So what the heck blocked it? Well a few drops of WD40 disclosed the secret.
The deteriorated 20+ years old original factory grease gummed the filigree mechanism up!
After cleaning out the viscid grease I lubed everything with precision mechanic oil that does not resinify.
Shifts and clicks into place like a charm now! This applied to both shifters so they will go back on the handlebar.
Ever since I added the black speaker grilles to the Bug's interior I felt uneasy about them.
They look way to prominent in that footwell area IMO.
As an experiment I painted the rear grilles gray to to get an idea about the look.
Turned out not to bad. May be the shade of gray could be a tad lighter.
What do you think?
not bad is putting it lightly. that looks way cleaner! dare i bring back the old school VW term "sano"

I think it looks totally rad!
Ok, I'll go for it then. ;)
