What I've been doing with my winter, besides work

[Melena]

I'm sure we all have other hobbies besides our R65's.  Just thought I'd share mine with you.  I crochet and I made a really cool hat for myself.  I still have to finish the edge so it fits better, but you'll see the idea here.    8-)

I'll post another picture here too, if Sue will approve.    And now she has to as you will all be wondering "what the...........?"

I showed this to my wife and requested a bike cover, she said something unprintable. Nice work.

Wear it, I dare you!

Warm!  ("Cool!" didn't seem to make sense, sorry!) At least until the BMW cops come and confiscate it for copyright violation.  I always wonder about that; I guess they have better things to do.

Any other interesting winter projects going on?  I've been riding my R65, so I'm not doing anything to it.  I'm rebuilding a Napco front end to go under my '58 Chevy pickup, to make it 4WD.  I'm tired of not being able to get out when I get a foot of snow.  All my pictures are on a Napco forum that requires registration, but here's some general info:

Is this hijacking or degrading a thread?   :-/

Why, thank you.  But a bike cover?    I can understand why it's unprintable.

 8-)  You betcha I'll wear it.  I plan on wearing it at the rally coming up the end of May.    This is California, after all.

I don't think they can do anything - I just made up a pattern and it turned out like the BMW logo - (gee, how did that happen?   )  Anyway, it's for my own use.  I'm not selling it to anyone.  "Anyone want to buy a hat?  Got a good deal right here!   [smiley=deal2.gif] "

I was thinking of doing the R65 logo above as a banner. (think flag)  I think I could do something like that.  Would be fun to try.  Hmmmmm.  Maybe next winter.

Good for you, Melena!

If the copyright cops do come for you, just remember to dump your garbage on them from the rooftops!

Good thinking Rob!  That picture looks like it's from Monty Python.  

[Rob Valdez 79 R65]

Yeah, now I'll have the Monty Python police knocking down my door!  

[fastcataz]

And fart in their general direction.

Way to go Melena!!!    8-)  Far out!  I just started knitting before Christmas and I'm hooked.  Always looking for a new project.  Did you follow a pattern or just make it up as you went along?  I wonder if I could do the same thing knitting?  Hmmmm.... you got me thinking!

Now are you talking about crocheting a FLAG???  Now THAT would be a project!   Let us know when you start and keep us posted on that project with pictures...

Ahhhh yes. The Holy Grail.

I still like the Black Knight scene though...

What are you going to do - bleed on me?

I like the scene where the picture comes from.

"Your father was an 'ampster and your mother smelled of elderberries.....I fart in..

...you get the the picture.

Clip clop, clip clop, clip clop,

Watch out for the rabit

Who remembers Castle Anthrax?
"Oh, goodie! Is this where we have the oral ... "

Well, I remember.

Peeps at work frequently call me "Monty Python". High praise, indeed.

Monte "with an E"

Hee, hee, Aïda is "hooked". Maybe hooking is another hobby option. Melena, you have my permission to post the pic..you know the one. Maybe it should go to the national?? Me thinks so!!  Sweat, sweat!

My winter has been about walking up the nearby river trail with the neighbour's dog..my good buddy Griz. Cryptic crosswords and a little piano...not enough piano. Being on the net searching for super replacement gear and another bike has been so much fun but I don't recommend what it takes to start a person on this latest "hobby"!
