    Recumbents.

    Optima? Bents and trikes can be a blast to ride. Although one upright friend commented, "That puts you right at Doberman height." Never bought a trike, but I have 20kmiles on my TI Bachetta.

    Trikes are more fun than .....your imagination Recumbents allowed me to ride after plates in my neck prevented me from looking up. A fellow rider told me "That puts you at doberman level", as I passed him on my Ti Bacchetta bg

    Auto Batteries

    Yeah, it has that "feature". I usually just turn on the ac until it figures out how to idle. So, just went for @50m drive and disconnected battery. It'll be in the teens again tonight. Will report back. The older I get the better Fla looks. Anything below 60F is hard winter to me. bg

    Auto Batteries

    Wiz, Thanks for reply. I agree, but I cannot isolate it. Battery disconnected; MM across terminals; brake switch disconnected, etc. Thought it was bed light. It's like it is intermittent. Maybe I'll just put a cutoff like on my Chevelle. FWIW it is 2003 Tundra (red) bg

    Auto Batteries

    Need recommendations on dependable batteries. Recently exchanged a 2mo old DuraLast for a DieHard, one month ago. It was deader than a hammer this am in 15F temps. That's the 2nd,well 3rd, AutoDie in the past 6mos. No evident parasitic drain. They didn't even check 'em, just swapped 'em out...

    Rewind Hunter Fan

    I have an 1990 Hunter desktop that the motor has crossed over. Hunter does not offer a replacement motor, or a repair. It is a really solid unit. Much different than their current line. I considered doing it myself since I have wired alternators and slot cars, but those tiny wires seem so...

    Storing an engine

    Worked at a GM dealer in mid '70s. Guy had his ~75 pickup towed in. The bed was full of engine parts, all with labels as to where they went, like "Next to the blue thing". He took apart emission stuff which was not suitable for disassembly, esp in the '70s. Even the carb. Said he was cleaning it...

So I go get it off the shelf and waddle over to a table by the couch, realize I can't bend to put it on the table. I decided to drop it on the...
