Farmer Lori

By 66 Underachiever
Lori's learning to be a goat farmer by starting seedlings in egg shells. When they sprout she'll plant them in pots on the balcony off our breakfast room. She got the idea from friends who checked out of So-Cal and are living the dream somewhere in the Oregon Sticks. You can follow their adventures here. Meanwhile, In The Sticks. Terry and Ginger are doing it right!
I'm looking forward to the Hatch Chiles.

This keeps the Crows out of Lori's Farm.

I finally got my hands on an Atom Pop! Atom Pop was invented in 1952 and is manufactured by QuinCraft in Bushton Kansas, USA!

This is a truly amazing product. All other popcorn poppers and methods should be outlawed. Seriously this thing cooks perfect popcorn every time. Follow the instructions exactly and you can't lose and it's even easy to clean. Here's a link to JBH Products , they're real nice people and they have the QuinCraft connection. Order one, you'll thank me...order two they make great gifts!

We're going to Winslow this week, so did Farmers Market lite and messed around in the Orange shop the last couple days.

Schott One Star backorders were released and will arrive this week in limited sizes. We're sorry about the backorders but pretty happy Schott is having a great 100th Anniversary year. Here's a photo pinched from their website with Dee Dee Ramone wearing his One Star. Schott's doing a 15% off sale 'til the end of March to offset the recent (2-3%) price increases so we're doing the same. No coupon, we'll just adjust the price on your order. Email us if you have questions 66@66MotorPalace.com Thanks!



If this Hummer ran the decal would probably blow off.
Got 'em all unfrozen and lubed without disturbing the rust and dust!

Mike Hodis of Rising Sun Jeans hosted a post Inspiration party Sunday with all the trimmings. Rising Sun hand crafts denim and work wear on antique sewing machines using traditional techniques and the highest quality materials. Mike's passion for quality is only rivaled by his knowledge and skill. Took the R100S out Santiago Canyon to try out the new throttle cables...they work, and had lunch at the Silverado Cafe . This place is pretty good. It reminds me of the cafes found in small towns far away from California. The waitress was real nice, the food was good, and lunch was less than $10 including coffee! I'm going to try breakfast next time. Cafe Racer Lunch Counter at Silverado Cafe I was honored to be allowed to drink from Rosemary's pretty cat mug. We got more Schott 141 Cafes and 689H Retro Horsehides. We're still waiting for  Women's One Stars. The NHRA Winter Nationals were this week and I hung around the

Since you're here...this car really had a gold plated drivetrain and lots of trim including custom made bumpers. Believe it or not it looked really cool in a strange way. Here you go Barbary Buzzard. Lori got better shot of engine compartment. and the bumpers.

Lucky Triumph Last week's Triumph troubles are turning out to be a pretty good thing...if you're the Triumph. Lori's been wanting to do something with it for awhile and said, "Since it needs a battery I might as well take the gas tank off and see about paint." So the battery's here, the tank and rear fender are off, she's shopping for a tail light assembly, and pondering some paint options. Here's a few pictures of her tearing it apart after we siphoned the gas out of it. Here's a few more with the color turned on. Agriculture Report The seedlings were transplanted into their new pots Saturday. Lori knocked the bottoms out of the eggshells and planted them with Marigolds to help repel insects. They're taking well to their new homes and look like they've grown in the last twenty four hours! More at  www.townhomesteader.com   Crazy Old Jeep This Jeep caught my eye while fueling up last wee
