[AT] O/T weather out west

[charlie hill]

Ralph I laced the tires on that bike like straight lacing a boot so that the 
wire went perpendicular over the face of the tire and diagonally over the 
rim.  If I remember right  I had it spaced about 2 to 3 inches apart but 
that was a long time ago.  I do remember being rather prowd of myself for 
figuring out how to do it.  I was the only kid on the road that could ride 
his bike.   Of course there were only about 4 of us.  LOL.
