Actually, I'm in the middle of constructing a recumbent, "tadpole"-design tricycle. Taking a bit of a hiatus from musical pursuits, in favor of cardiovascular fitness. "Age & Gravity".....generally sucks.
It's keeping with the spirit of BFLG, though. Cutting up old bicycles & reassembling the parts. Certainly challenges the right hemisphere. |

At the NW Gathering we need to sit and plot out a way to put an exercise bike to a pump for watering the garden and playing the wind/water chimes... |

Location: Pacific Northwest Inland Empire | I've decided to sell this creation. I added some straplocks on it. I'm open to offers, but I've got probably $65.00 into it, by now. Anybody interested? |

Location: Upper Left USA | I like that one! You should put it on Ebay with a BIN of $325 or Make Offer and see what happens. |

Location: Pacific Northwest Inland Empire | Right you are, there Mike. Got nuttin'-to-lose.
Maybe (and probably) PT Barnum was right.
Stay tuned. We shall see what "the edge-of-the-envelope" looks like. |

Mike, you may get a commission on this one.
Merry Christmas to all, and to all, a good night! |

Location: Pacific Northwest Inland Empire | So, OK. 1st round was a flop. No nibbles, offers, or even castigations.
So, whack 1/2 off the BIN, and run it back up the flagpole.
We shall see. |

Location: Pacific Northwest Inland Empire | Gotta move some stuff. BIN $75.00. This is my "limbo"- low-as-I-go.
See what happens, in the next week.

Hey Rocky, watch me pull a rabbit outta my hat! |

Location: Pacific Northwest Inland Empire | Very nice!
As to next fiasco, I am looking around for materials. The last Ovation parts package on FleaBay was $300.00! Probably, not gonna happen.
I have a tin box calling from the corner, though. A preamp I constructed, and plenty of the "small parts". Guess I need to find a neck. Maybe, a tenor guitar, or baritone uke.
We'll see.... |

Here's one I did a few years ago.

Location: Pacific Northwest Inland Empire | Michael, say it ain't so! You have retired from crafting creative luthiery? I was waiting to see what became of that maple neck I donated to the BFLG cause at Damon's gathering, years ago. And having a gathering or visit would be great fun! |

Location: Boise, Idaho | I need to stop and see you guys again when I'm in Seattle. How about next week? Just kidding. Our first grandson was born in Seattle June 14 and is just getting out of the hospital. We've been in Seattle a bunch, but couldn't really socialize with COVID. Our grandson has been in neonatal intensive care for 3 weeks, but is going home in a couple days. We'll probably be visiting even more than usual. I need some motivation to start playing again, so a post COVID gathering would be nice. |
