Modern technology in the mid 1980's involved a 45 RPM piece of vinyl that featured an alien sounding creature singing a song to the birthday recipient. Jay wore it out. TAR thought it was such a good idea she bought one for Nephew Kevin. He was not entertained by the record................
So 33 years ago, in the middle of the Borg/McEnroe Wimbledon final we were given this little creature. I kept looking but found no operating instructions so we just winged it. Looks like our project turned out fine. Happy birthday young man, enjoy the day.
And here is a good picture of the old bike in Deal's Gap going through the Tail of the Dragon. I talked with the new owner a couple of weeks ago, he did a 2,500 mile trip with his son while towing the small trailer he built. New paint job looks great!
Off to Montreat to be the male chaperon for a great bunch of young men next week. Didn't know it would take so many of them to look after me........................
