One More to Add to the Pile


     I found this Sega at my favorite thrift store.  Seeing as I have all these old Sega games, it's only a matter of time until the stars align and I can play them. I gambled and lost on this one, but it was a cheap gamble.  I am just wondering if I can possibly fix this thing myself?  It seems to have a disconnect with it's AC power source.  I am going to tear it apart.  If I can't fix it, at least  I got 3 controllers for 4 bucks!  Win Win I think.  Pack rat that I am, It would be sad to have to throw this thing in the garbage.

The End of an Era...



I said goodbye to an old friend on Saturday.  I was given a bike by a dear friend of mine last winter, a great bike.  I knew our time together would be brief.

I helped her pack it in a van and watched it drive away.  
An old Peugeot single speed, but definitely a one of a kind.  I am sitting here now trying to estimate how many hundreds of miles I put on that bike over the summer.  700?  More?  I don't know.  But it was definitely a hard goodbye to a great commuter.  I hope that there are a lot of miles in that bike's future.  Sadly, I think it's destined for the indoors.
     Meanwhile I am scouring craigslist for a new and similar bike.  So far I am coming up empty handed, but the search is on....
