There are few 90 day varieties. I think Georgia jet is one. I had it and another 99 day 7 or 8 years ago. Now I mostly just grow some beurgaurd and some purple sweet potato I got from ebay that supposed to be some Japanese variety. I like it. It's not very sweet taste more like a regular potato. I don't cure to sweeten them up either. I don't like sweet sweet potatoes.

Best part about sweet potatoes though is you can just toss them in a box in the garage and they last for years. I start my slips with my 2 year old left overs. I could probably just pull the tubers out of my slip tup and use them again next year if I wanted, but I usually cut them up in a compost pile.

tried some sweet taters in the garden a few years ago, they did not produce, and not sure what I did wrong,

however, pic related

I have a couple (or more) of those big bastard looking spiders that roam my shop, they are Wolf spiders in this area, usually have a stripe of 2 on them, they can bite, but are relatively harmless to humans

not aggressive to me, but will jump about now and again, and help keep other bugs etc at bay,
customers sometimes see one, but are told not to stomp, just leave be,

all are named Boris, regardless of how or what they identify as

That's the only wolf spider I have seen around here colored like that. But there are spiders around here, that arent supposed to be.

Here in Florida, they are the only thing that grow well during the heat of the summer. So I let them take over the garden at that point. Other than the 90 day varieties, they take a long time to mature. Biggest issue I’ve had is getting all of the small ones out, as you’ll get volunteers all over the garden from every little bit left in the ground.

Scored this new back in 1986. Sat in my grandmother's garage and wound up at a so called family member's house. I discovered it there and asked WHY is my bike in your garage!? WHY is it beat to all hell?! Where are the original rims?! The response was that since I wasn't using it, they decided to scoop it up and gave it to their son. Who then beat the fuck out of it. It went home right then and there and hung in my garage for many years. Yesterday I got a few parts and brought the Redline back online! The original rims were aluminum UKAI which are only God knows where....Brings back memories and I definitely need a softer seat.... :ROFLMAO:

Had the same thing happen with a bed at my parents. Offender "gave" it away. She is too selfish to give anything away and probably sold it. She informed me "you weren't using it". Never saw it again.

My best friend still has and rides a GT Mach One he got as a birthday present in the early 90’s

Very similar to this one

Araya rims are lighter, plus you can save rotational weight with 60/80ga spokes and aluminum nipples. (He sednipples)
Swap the cranks with some proper Flight Cranks.

As far as the seat,

I knew that sooner or later the claws would come out about the seat.....

I am familiar with all those other components, just was a casual racer, who was having fun at the time. I dropped into a shop in Morenci, MI. and got the new tires, tubes, rim strips, pads, brake cable, and a cool sticker. My best friend, Cliff, who did race professionally had the actual rims in his garage which he gave me. Cliff has about 7 different bikes presently that is always modding....I look at my bike and start picturing all the little things I can add....another money pit.... :ROFLMAO: :LOL:

The GT posted by The D looks legit! A few parts and then you'll be bunny hopping right into an urgent care! :p

My buddy is an absolute train wreck, if all the drugs and poor choices haven’t killed him nothing will
 
Akshully its proper name is a Wakizashi(脇差. You’d know that if you had studied the art of the blade as extensively as I.

Notice I wear a bike lock as a belt to protect both my virginity and my precious man seed from falling into the hands of an undeserving Trollope

Is that an extra long blade or are you Franks brother?
