Dirty Kurt gets a bath

I'm calling this one Dirty Kurt. I'm working on scrubbing off about 10 years of grime, and the greasy dirt is like tar. But I'm working on it...

That's a Harbor Freight lift, right?
I swear to God, it's like I live in a trailer of common sense, and stare out the window at a tornado of stupidity.

Yeah, the lift is from Harbor Freight. Raises with a foot pedal/pump. It goes has high as my truck bed, so I can just roll it on and off. Also nice to get it at the right height and sit on a stool to work on it. Here's the sprocket before....

I was wondering who would be the first to comment on the sprocket.
The rear sprocket needs replacing too. The clock says 27,000 miles, but was probably disconnected in the 90s.
