Indy's bikes
These are two of the bikes used in The Young Indy Chronicles. My boss has a collection of vintage bikes and these were rented out for one of the young Indy episodes. They were not to be ridden as they are restored "dry" but were ridden in the episode(I don't know the name of it, my wife ha...

Commercial hemp has a very low level of THC (The stuff that gets you high) You would need to chain smoke 10 or more cigarettes made from hemp buds to get the buzz of low grade marijuana. The only reason it can still be illegal to grow is the power of the cotton and paper industries in conjunction wi...

I have been wearing a similar watch from Seiko for two years(of abuse on a mechanics wrist). The snx427 is a mechanical/automatic, 21 jewel. It lacks the hack function but does have a day/date feature. It looks a lot like the Benrus or Citizen, cost was around $70 with shipping from Hong Kong(This m...

I have used a messenger bag daily for more than ten years. I have yet to get a purse comment, but I am pretty surly looking. Also I watched Captain Blood(1935) Errol Flynn carries a bag while on port Royal that would look like a purse if a woman carried. It does not look like a purse when he carries...

Mechanicals can be pretty tough. I wear a Seiko mechanical/automatic, 21 jewel, with day/date/time. I have worn it daily(I am a mechanic) for nearly two years and it still stays accurate to within five seconds a week. It has some nicks and scratches but nothing major, I have even dropped it on a con...

I use a vintage Gilette razor. I like the shave, not to close, no ingrown hairs. The blades are cheap and hold up better than modern multiblade razors. I also like the ritual of warming the mug, building lather in it, and applying it. I also have a hand crank blade sharpener(Yo lazy to get up and wh...

Mojave, not to diss your choice in compass, but I believe he would have chosen the surveyors or engineers compass as an aid in his profession. :) Those are very cool I may have to pick one up myself. The plastic orienteering compass, I have now, lacks panache. My shoulder bag is a bit bigger than th...
