I'm just gonna act like I've been writing this whole time and that there were no gaps between posts..... It was a busy season after all. Reeeeeaaaaalllll busy. If you know what I mean..... ;)!
So I was gonna do a post on these lights from France called Wonder. After some hard searching on the ol internet, and 10 minutes really, there seems to be nothing. Except that maybe, or maybe not, that a company in Korea bought them up and renamed/bagged them as WonderBike. Lights. Maybe with out the lights part. It was kinda hazy and very confusing. The whole ordeal....
The whole thing came up when I spent the week end going through my tools and endless array of bicycle parts and paraphernalia and stumbled upon then lights encased in cheesy plastic. I remember getting these lights in a grab bag of parts a customer gave to us at the Perf as a "tip". I thought they were the cooler of random objects in the box so snatched them up and put them in a place for safe keeping. A shoe box.

| From France! |
So in my semi-drunken stupor I had decided to text my roommate who happened to be out, and demanded that he pick up some C batteries. Yep. C. Batteries. As I was waiting I did some brief snooping and found out that they were from France and that they were from the 60s. Exciting!
With a very minimalist "circuitry" I had high hopes that they would work but at the same time I was worried that the filament style bulbs were blown.

Other things happening? I'm currently reading It's All About the Bike by Robert Penn. I don't review books so I won't get into too much detail. But it has inspired and sparked new interest in my love for building and working on bikes.
And here is a picture of my Apple Pie. My first attempt at baking.
