My Dress White uniform ready for tonight's Navy Ball, celebrating the Navy's 238th birthday.

Tonight is most likely the last time I'll wear this uniform on active duty :(

But doing the Navy Ball Diego Garcia-style will be really cool :)

Your bike looks very nice. What is it? I love the color scheme you did.

Thank you. I currently have black wall tires on it and when I find the right Cinelli bars I'll rewrap the bars in white tape with red stitching, to bring out the red decals. It's a 1972 Schwinn Paramount P13, there's another pic of it in the Paramount information thread.

Did 5 miles today. No hills, but a few waves. :)

Nice work.

Intended use?

Bikes?

Boats?

None of my business? :)

Thanks. Nah...just to help clear out garage over-stuffment. Garden stuff, lumber, some tools, etc.
Long, bare wall in first photo will have a narrow greenhouse sitting on the pad. If I can find one that fits.

Well then, that's what I need as well.

Seems our yard is turning into a giant vegetable garden.

We would love to have a greenhouse and garden storage area like yours.

Again, your shed looks to be very nicely crafted.

Very nice! I love the combination of clapboard and shingle, so New England-y!

Wanna stay in Somerville with us for a few weeks and build us one? Free use of bikes and unlimited riding companion time while you're here! :)

Thanks, guys - it's been quite a ride the last 25+ years :)

Scott: thanks for the sneak-previews; that's pretty spiffy for garden-tool storage!
