Tater - Plumbing Zone

Tatersalad · 08-30-2010, 10:16 PM

Been lurking this site for a while. Quite a few interesting topics.

About me..... well I dig old school BMX bikes. I have had a zillion of them.
Collect old RedLine, Chmapion and have a few 70's and early 1980's Mongeese. So BMX bikes and parts are my gig.... that and SCUBA diving

Beyond that... been a master plumber from 1993. Mostly new construction residential stuff. But California went south with new construction... so me and the wife bought a log cabin and moved to Guthrie Oklahoma... LOVE it!!!

Now we have chickens, guinea fowl and turkeys....oh and friggin rat snakes. Almost a daily job to kill snakes (and one bobcat). But this country living is down right cool. Would never go back to the rat race of central California.

So for now... I will lurk and post smart azz remarks.

BMX sure has come a long way.... I don't know about you... but I LOVE watching the X-Games. Some of those guy are unreal talent. Makes me believe in the 100th monkey syndrome. (collective conscience/intelligence.)

But if the 100th monkey syndrome was real.... why isn't it working for apprentices??

They sure are not getting any smarter!

where is the bike you had with the ape hangers, sissy bar and banana seat? With the baseball card in the spokes and the long fiberglass pole with the bright orange flag?

Did he have the extra forks jammed onto the end of his forks for an extended front end too?

Welcome, Tater.
It's dangerous being in such a secluded spot like that. You may end up with several tater tots.
