Tea? (Part 2)

[Speicher]

I am not entirely sure that you can assume Night Train has recovered just because he is building a theatre set.



His idea of resting was to build a bike trailer from scratch!

 

[Arch]

I suppose if I used a flask it could carry tea for a mug. Anyway, the fabric is waterproof so it could carry a pint of loose tea.

A pint! Couple of gallons I should say, looking at the picture... Or a small barrel!

Wow, a human powered mobile tea urn!

Imagine the scene. You've been out shopping and your feet ache and your arms are tired from carrying all the bags. One whistle, and round the corner at a rate of knots, comes the Skip-of-Tea towed by the Ratrike. The trike even provides a nice comfy seat while you drink it. All you need, NT, is a natty little waiter's outfit.

 

[Speicher]

Potsy, did you watch that film called "Deja Vu" on Saturday night?






* ponders, have I asked him this before? *

 

[Speicher]

Arch if it is cool enough, he could wear a jumper with tea pots on it. There is an ice-cream seller (with a bike and trailer) frequently to be seen in Broadway* and he wears a jumper knitted with motifs of ice cream cones.

* Broadway, Worcestershire, not New York.

 

[Night Train]

Good to see you're recovered NT.

Nah, not recovered.

Definately struggled to do a couple of miles to shake down the Ratrike.

This evening the plan is to tell others what to do with the scaffolding while I cut a few bits of plywood with a circular saw and insert some cable ties into holes.

Mobile tea urn? Some heat exchanger pipes wrapped around my thighs would probably provide the heat for the hot water.

There's 42 litres capacity in that trailer and the new panniers have 23 litres each. It will definately be volume rather then weight capacity I reckon.

Ooh, er!

 

[Arch]

Ooh, er!

Yeah, I had to have a little sit down and a glass of water at the mention of a man's thighs.

Tea? I've unpacked and repacked my tent to include the bigger porch, in readiness for a little trip at the weekend. It's always a struggle to get the bag zipped up when the tent goes back in.

 

[coffeejo]

Sssh, don't tell anyone, I'm drinking milky coffee...

Is the packing thing related to the shape of one's brain thread we had a while back? (Ok, that might be a wholly inaccurate and extremely misleading description, but it's late. Ish.)

Theorectically, it shouldn't matter if one has a good packing brain, as you're supposed to follow the instructions to make it the right size to go in. But it's always a squash. It may b a brawn issue, rolling it up.

 

[coffeejo]

Sit on it?

 

[Arch]

Sit on it?

I've done that in the past!

This time wasn't too bad, sometimes it's just luck!

I just have to check that everything will fit in my trike panniers...

 

[coffeejo]

Don't sit on those. Not unless someone's standing by with a camera...

 

[Arch]

Don't sit on those. Not unless someone's standing by with a camera...

Ah, but I sort of do, since they sling beside and under the seat...
