Davo Mounts.

I was going to tell you that Mystic Stamp mounts are rebranded Davo mounts. Then I remembered you're on the other side of the planet hanging out with the Huntsman Spider.

Huntsmans spiders are the most beautiful creatures,  but they can give you a fair old fright
when they appear out of nowhere.

I try and fit in a 17 Km Hill climb  17Km ride with a 2Km hill climb,      every day on my tredly,
last evening 4pm,  there was one of these squished on the road, he wasn't there on the climb,
but on the return.   Lots of mice in the wheat fields to feed on.

My understanding is that Huntsman spiders are pretty harmless and actually help keep your house bug free. From the videos I saw, they're fast as hell!

Same way that Showgard mounts are rebranded Schaufix mounts, and Scott mounts are rebranded Prinz mounts.  They sign a contract and off the sales go.

Jerry with rod222 you not only learn a little about stamps but also the strange language from down under. I think he may be talking about a bicycle. Now in Ireland that would be called a push-bike. The English language sure is different depending where you are, got to love local slang.
I often pass a hour looking at lists of slang words from different countrys. It amazes me how one word/phrase can be a term of endearment in one place and total derogatory in another.

Hi Jerry, welcome back.
"Tredly" was lingua franca, in my day for a well used, well loved pushbike (bicycle)

Suburban Australia in the late 1950's 1960's was a wide open, spread out suburbia, each housing lot, was on a 1/4 acre.
Your best mates could easily live, 2-3 miles away, the tredly was your only mode of freedom for the street kid.
It shared the admiration as the modern skateboard does today,  usually a racing style bike, but with the drop handles turned through 180 degrees.

This way, you could carry ("dink")  your mate, sitting on the handle bars, or, when cycling to school (3 miles) you could rest your school bag ("satchel")
on the bars.  There were no lever brakes,  braking was accomplished by reversing the pedal direction.
Getting up a good speed, then standing on the brakes,  you could lay a strip in the gravel, some 20 feet.

OOOOH...what memories that brings up (none that good) - Mercurochrome! "OUCH"!!! That pink stuff REALLY hurt like dickens!!! I'm glad that evil stuff is gone! lol

I think it was Merthiolate that burned (no pain, no gain); Mercurochrome didn't. Both have fallen into disuse in the US because they contain mercury.

All I remember is that one (I think Merthiolate) was a "dayglow" pink and the other (Mercurochrome) was a deep orange and they both was scary to me wen I was a kid. I haven't heard of them since the 1970's though. We use betadine here too Rod.
