the two hoodlums helping sell at the UofMn. wow we were busy.
we are into some really nice corn this week

Today I was driving by a garage sale and saw a bike, so I figured I
should stop.
As I approached I saw that it was copper colored Raleigh with high
flange hubs.
Closer, I could see it had a chrome fork ends, chrome stays, ornate fork crown
I could hardly breathe...could it be the Holy Grail; a copper colored
Raleigh International?
Alas, it was a Super Course with cheap simplex derailleurs.
However, it did have Suntour bar-end shifters that I've been looking
for and the hubs were Normandy with aluminum rims with new tires, and
some nice long reach centerpull brakes.
And the coolest handle bar water bottle holder ever.
The guy was an older gentleman and had ridden it to Madison and back
when he was younger.
Asking 40
I gave it too him.

2010 sweet corn sales schedule

The ceremonial washing of the tables can only mean one thing; sweet corn season is upon us.
We're going to start picking Weds July 21st.
The 2010 schedule is:

Weds - U of Mn market, Church Street, 11 am to 2pm
Thursday - Nicollet Mall, 8th and Nicollet 10 am to 5pm
Saturday - Minneapolis Farmers Mkt, 6am to 1pm
Saturday - Mill City Farmers Mkt, 8am to 1pm
Sunday - Minneapolis Farmers Mkt, 6am to 1pm

In our family we always take 4th of July corn photos. the corn is progressing nicely; not too weedy and plenty of silks showing so we are expecting to start harvest somewhere between the 17th and 20th.
Emily and Austin are good kids and not too grudgingly give in to this yearly ritual. It's getting pretty hard to call Austin "the boy"; we still manage to blame him for everything that goes wrong.
