Be patient Stomper..Dont end up having to selling 'cos you spent out too much when you couldnt afford it ( Ive lost dozens of bikes over the years 'cause of that!)... We've still got crappy weather for another4 months at least so no hurries! Let me know if I can sort you out with any cheap parts.

Hey Stomper, is that a standard tank? Looks a little beefier than a Special.
And chickens xs1961? What kind? We've got some Rhode Island Reds and some Buff Orpingtons, think there's 29 total. I get to help the Honey herd them back into their coop (mostly pullets that haven't figured out the roosting at sunset-in the coop- yet.)
"Herd 'a chickens?" Says one old man to the other.
"Well of course I heard of chickens, ya dam fool! Where ya think the eggs come from, heard 'em this mornin' crowin' their heads off! "
