[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 9289384, member: 84"]It is the framer - and appears to be older than I thought since phone number doesn't have a area code? PS - Also a photo of what wakes me up better than a cup of Cuban coffee(!) - it's pulling into thrift store parking lot & seeing a line of donation thrift store trucks doing a conga line while waiting to unload! PSS - Here in Miami you see a lot of unique crafts that Cubans build to try to cross the ocean to come to America (Miami) - this old Cuban man shows similar ingenuity in his transportation; he took a old kids bmx bike & hooked an electric motor to it + he powers it with a portable electric drill motor that is easy & inexpensive to charge! AND - he also built an addition to the bike's frame to have a place to carry his groceries (which he had when I met him in front of the supermarket next to the thrift store) or to carry his tools or whatever else he needs. AND(!) he even built a contraption so he could move the bicycle's seat post & seat further back; making it more comfortable for him to ride than with the original seating position which was made for children!
