Barn just north of Kuebler Rd on Kesslersville Rd, Forks Twp, Northampton Co Pennsylvania. This property is currently for sale by the owner. I've passed by this barn so many times in all sorts of weather conditions and light and I can't believe that this is the first time I've taken a photo of it!! 02-23-12
The material in the middle doesn't really add to the strength of the fork, removing it looks a lot cooler, no?

(Dicrurus adsimilis)
The fork-tailed drongo, also called the common drongo, African drongo, or savanna drongo (Dicrurus adsimilis), is a species of drongo in the family Dicruridae, which are medium-sized passerine birds of the Old World. It is native to the tropics, subtropics and temperate zones of the Afrotropics. Its range was formerly considered to include Asia, but the Asian species is now called the black drongo (Dicrurus macrocercus).
The fork-tailed drongo is a common and widespread resident breeder in Africa south of the Sahara. These insect-eating birds are usually found in open forests or bush, and are tolerant of arid climates.
They still-hunt by sitting very upright on a prominent perch, much like a shrike. They are usually solitary and form monogamous breeding pairs. They are aggressive and fearless, regularly mobbing or attacking much larger species, including birds of prey, if their nest or young are threatened or their territory is compromised. They also join mixed foraging bird parties, and will initiate mobbing of common enemies. To maintain their plumage condition they may rain-bathe, foliage-bathe or plunge-dive into water. Terrestrial foragers like babblers may use the drongo as a sentry.
Observations show that the fork-tailed drongo in Africa are capable of using deceptive mimicked alarm calls to steal food from birds like pied babblers and animals such as meerkats. Tom Flower observed that fork-tailed drongos spend a quarter of their time following other animals. Drongos sometimes act as sentries when a predator is approaching, warning their neighbours with genuine alarm calls. But drongos also earn a quarter of their daily calories by sounding a false alarm when another animal finds food. When the meerkats and babblers flee from the non-existent predator, the drongo steals their food. Though in doubt, researchers have considered the possibility that these drongos possess theory of mind, not fully shown in any animal other than humans.

Building a batch of two 650b forks that can fit a 42mm tire -- one for the traditional randonneuse, which will only see tires that fat when I'm doing fitting tests, and one for a frame I'm building for someone in Michigan, where 38's are all they want but 42s are what they'll get.
What goes on behind closed drawers? Well, I found my utensils hugging all up on my fork, for one.
Hey, everybody needs some lovin...
