Also, that photo of your dad makes me very happy, as it means I may be able to put that new Sturmey Archer front hub on the right way around, and still have the rods work (I saw someone else who apparently had to install the hub backwards, and then flip the rods over so it went down the right side of the wheel instead of the left).<br /><br />I'm getting closer and closer to wanting to do this, as my front rim is getting more rusty (original steel), and my tire generator is working kind of sporadically sometimes.<br /><br />The last apartment we lived in here in Portland was a mid-40's building, and when we were there, it still had fuses, not circuit breakers, and only one grounded plug in the entire apartment! Thankfully hardware stores still sell fuses. (We're now in a 1927 apartment, but they've updated the wiring).<br /><br />Hope that all went well, if I opened the electrical box and it looked like that, no way I'd be sticking my hand in there.portlandize.comhttp://portlandize.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356723782465446786.post-47677447895104997552011-12-29T10:00:17.668-05:002011-12-29T10:00:17.668-05:00Cris,

It was also useful at certain angles for keeping the sun out of my eyes. Don't know if it would help with the glasses, especially with "real" rain, though.cyclerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10331461189944538729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356723782465446786.post-71585655685518220692011-12-29T09:47:08.510-05:002011-12-29T09:47:08.510-05:00that headwind was rather brutal on the ride home, ...that headwind was rather brutal on the ride home, but quite nifty on the way in this morning.<br /><br />I'd be curious about how effective the brim of your hat may be in inclement weather. I'm always on the lookout for something that'll keep my glasses relatively dry but I fear that may be a fantasy product.crishttp://cris.livejournal.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356723782465446786.post-37230379988210525082011-12-29T00:45:08.038-05:002011-12-29T00:45:08.038-05:00Those look like the wires in my parents' house...Those look like the wires in my parents' house.
