I remembered. We were on a around the world trip and barely bested Phileas Fogg. We flew commercial to Oakland and spent a day in Sonoma Valley. Then we got a KC-10 from Travis and off to Hawaii. After crew rest we headed to Japan and met up with some Marine F-18s. We left Japan and the F-18s recovered into Thailand for crew rest and we went to Diego Garcia B.OT. After what seemed like years but was reall less than 48 hours we headed out to the Qatar. I’ve been to some odd places in the reserves but standing on the beach at Diego Garcia looking at those preposition I got ships anchored off shore truly made me feel I was isolated from civilization.
After the 2 week breakdown we headed to Spain and then the long haul back to Calif, a wild is h night in Sacramento and then back to Jersey

I got to thinking yesterday. I’ll have to figure out how to check this out but I believe unless arrangements have been made a person’s profile lives on in perpetuity on the Facebook.
In the last year we have had a few tense days over Velobase being down, and it seems the Vintage Trek site was almost a goner but was revived by a new caretaker. I believe the Classic Fuji site is gone and I believe the Peugeot site may be too.
So while lots of you curmudgeons, and I use that as a sincere term of endearment, don’t like FB it seems that the information I placed there might outlast the alligators and cockroaches.
Also whilst I like the idea of being the gate keeper to all this knowledge it is after public information so being on FB anyone is free to use it and even download it. I do need to find a easy to use watermark app fir my bike pics though.

Thanks for taking the time to scan, organize, and post these to FB.
I've got a couple old issues of Bicycle Guide from the early 1990s and was looking at ads from Bianchi with their claims about inventing the 29er as well as the "cross-terrain" bicycle - being able to flip through contemporary catalogs provides a lot of information that I couldn't find anywhere else online.

My Bianchi remains a bit enigmatic. Original components and TreTubi frame exactly match 1982 Campione d'Italia, but mine is charcoal, not celeste or white.
