My son went with me to find the infamous OKRA patch. First we had to find the land owner/farmer. It was not near the road, they grow many different crops. Then we had to go a couple miles to the patch. He laughed his butt off at us when we told him why we needed pictures of the bikes in an OKRA patch! Until now I didn't even know what an OKRA PLANT even looked like! I told him not to worry, we would only steal a small quantity if it were already fried up in a bowl. He said nobody has ever stolen OKRA from his farm. |

If it is OK.....I know the time limit thing.....I would like to see TEFLON TAPE! I don't mean a personal roll or collection(unless it is set up for highway visitors.....ala largest ball of yarn). I'm looking for the Worlds source of Teflon Tape, a factory that makes the stuff. A bonus would be the bike parked in front of a dumpster with Teflon Tape scraps in it! |

Good job, Vern! Bikes are looking good- mebbe before too long we can get some riding done. Hopefully I'll have the Shovel back by this weekend- keep yer fingers crossed for that... OK, we have Vern and Vern jr. as the "Okra-achievers"- what's next? Weird how exciting that was... |

There has to be a manufacturer somewhere in BadWeb's reach! I'm gonna Google it! That is how I found OKRA just a few miles from my house.(I never knew) |

For those not having a chance to grab one yet, this is a good one. Google; wwwThomasNet.com . They list cities all over the place that manufacture PTFE Teflon Tape. This is a good shot for our Canadian Buellers! |

I need a little clarification on this current challenge. Are we looking for an actual manufacture (creator) of the product, or are we looking for a company that creates custom applications of said product? I think most of this stuff is made outside of the US, but custom application companies are fairly numerous. |

OH MAN!! I wish I hadn't plowed up my teflon patch to plant that okra. Until now I didn't even know what an OKRA PLANT even looked like Now I finally understand why you didn't know of a nearby okra patch. You'll see it everywhere you go now. |

I can't believe it took that long to get an okra pic. Had I known,(and had an operational camera) I could have done it myself without even starting the bike up. Now when are we gonna get an okra emoticon. |

This is not a submission, we don't make or sell teflon, but we use a lot of teflon thread tape at work for the pipework installations we do...

http://s50.photobucket.com/albums/f332/Corporate_M onkey/?action=view¤t=photo-10.jpg done. This place was listed on that thomasnet website as a manufacture of Teflon tape. Next challenge: In honor of the poor blast, I want to see a cemetary. Bonus point for a military one. |

Is a bicycle acceptable for the missions? I left Betty at home tonight so she doesn't get rained on. I still haven't gotten all the grime off from last weekends 500 mile ride (300 of which was during rain) I rode the diamondback to work tonight and will definitely swing past the base cemetery for a photo op if that is within the riding game rules. |
