*just* a bit outside.

I'm familiar with that emotion. Waxes poetic with "one day I'm going to...."

Took Monday off to pay--- correction--- file, my taxes... It was a beautiful day, I'm getting a refund, but didn't get anything done in the garage.. . Teleworked from the garage today with lots more time to diddle-fart. 1. Did a dry fit of bike lights in the HF machinist-chest I'm...

That rim strip doesn't look like its pressed down at the edges. It seems like it's thick lipped, and not currently well installed. I'm not really surprised you got seepage at the spokes with an edge like that. That said, all most of my TLR rims were aftermarket purchases, not OEM TLR, so the...

If, as you get fitter, the 38/11 becomes less than ideal (you've got downhills out there, too) its very likely that your legs could handle the reduction in slow end range... 42 front only adds 8/10ths mph at the bottom end @ 100rpm and gives you 2.9mph at the top end. Being a single speeder...

Thanks for the run-down on your options and history. Its great that you have so much enthusiasm and buy-in from your better half... Although, wheels waiting in the living room on a car on order, might be a sign of too much thinking alike. :beer: I've never had a track car or a fun car, but...

Puts a smile on your face while using it? Cool. Puts a smile on someone else's face with the results - yep, a great toy. May not be making thousands of motorcycle parts, but its a tool doing stuff, and that's cool.

Cables arrived. Cable installed. Tensioned, trimmed and adjusted. I tried to get an inline adjuster installed, but the ones I have are too large (wide) for the downtube stops on this bike. I could have put it at the shifter, but 11 year olds don't need a reminder they can make adjustments...

Sounds like a victory from my end of the Great Lakes. My new tool box now has a drawer for "projects in process" and its currently holding the tools AND parts I need to complete the current project on tap. I'm not sure how well that will work long term, but while the project box sits in the...

Coffee mug is reason enough to have another flat surface around. Caffeine addiction overrules a my alleged OCD. You made a stubborn man proud. Proud enough to verbalize, too. ------ I've had little garage time since Christmas, mostly out of laziness. But the last three days' allotments have...

I walked into my local HF for the first time in probably two years and they full US Gen line of boxes was right in the entrance. Fortunately, I was just there for the Windsor machinist (gerstner knockoff), as I was tempted.

I don't ski, but I love the "free-to-me" percentage of this project.

This is one time it definitely makes sense to rehab and keep running... Arkel loyalist, but they're not any closer to free.

Totally missed the hamstring tear story (probably because of U11 or U12 girls' soccer, maybe CYO girls basketball).... But the more you do to gently improve and strengthen them, if healed, probably the better... ***talk to YOUR ortho and PT****. Can't speak to your immune response to...

My second hand has never been the issue in a tight space... Its usually my very long humeri, ulnas and radii. Sometimes my moderately broad shoulders have a negative impact, but your silver lining attitude should be taught to everyone who loses a toenail or worse.

My cooler had just that combination, along with Sierra Club, "Ally" and a firearms brand sticker... It also had spilled poly stain on it for about 10 years before someone made me clean it up. They're worth it to keep running for the entertainment value alone, and a materials resources saved...

beautiful.

4x10 bench press. A very minimal workout. Just trying to get into a routine. I puttered and sorted some tools between sets. I also played fetch with the Labrador between sets.

Built up my daughter's Diamondback Haanjo 2 with her in the living room because the unheated garage was too cold for Susie-pajamas-all-day. Its technically a Christmas gift, but she needs to learn the basics of bike stuff, and was willing to go through the motions of learning as long as it...

That was spray.bike branded rattle can... Its basically a flaky quick dry rattle can.... at a premium price (for spray paint). Our babysitter had a cricket printer and cut some vinyl stickers for the stars... You can't see the crescent moon on the front in white (just the primer). There are...
