Scrambler

 

 

I came across this on an Aermacchi Owners Group. Looks like what would have been called a scrambler back in the day. It appears to be a stock frame with the addition of a couple of extra tubes running from the steering head down to the top motor mount. Also, the forks have been swapped out. The stock forks had the axle mounts on the bottom of the tubes. Nice looking rig.

Another storm last evening and more hot weather coming in next week. Not only is the grass growing like crazy, but it's being taken over by a broad-leafed variety. The front yard was looking really nice earlier this year but big changes in just a matter of a couple of weeks. The back yard is worse. I'm not sure what the best approach is to reclaim it. I had spread some weed & feed this spring - no dandelions now, but the invasive grass is growing like hell wouldn't have it. 

The "Rec Center" where I was walking indoors after the heart attack is having a bike ride in the morning. No charge, various distances, 6:30 start time. Not sure I want to get up that early, but I'll load the bike up later today and if I can get my lazy fanny out of bed at 6:00, I'll give it a shot. The weather should be nice starting that early.

Going to do a little work in the shop today, finally, but I've got some "lumberjacking" to do as well. There's a couple of big limbs down in the back that have come down in the recent storms I need to clean up. I'm not having much success keeping up with the outside work while being cautious with my health. The ninety-degree temps with humidity to match can be tough on an old guy with a history of cardiac issues. I rode my bike down to the mailbox last evening after it had cooled down a little and had worked up a sweat by the time I got back. It's a long driveway, but not that long.  

Anyway, I'll keep on keeping on. Get done what needs to be done and play with the toys as time and weather allow.
