Good morning to you all and once again hopefully you all have a GREAT weekend View attachment 4852049
I know I commented on your oil rig before, but I like!! Can you post a link? The beast looks like it would hold about 5 grams or more! Does it work as good as it looks? Does it handle thick oil?

I'm learning you have to be careful with a lot of devices and cartridges because many of them contain dangerous metals, leads, etc. though. I already have enough metals in me :lol:

I'm concerned about your safety if that steerer snaps :(



Think he'll be fine on the tarmac? If he went with a dimension riser bar and a 50mm stem he could probably achieve similar geometry without the stack height. https://www.dimensionbikeproducts.com/products/handlebars/riser_bar
So I checked out the front end today...That steerer tube feels very rigid actually, but the forks are terribly sloppy. I really do need to find a better bike or at least swap out the forks....But I agree a steerer tube half that height would be a lot safer, WITH new forks.

That bike would probably be ok for a 90 pound kid, but I weigh in at about 185 pounds these days. The crank is pure trash too. I'll find a better bike to transfer everything over too.

But I do appreciate your guys concern, because I really don't know squat about bikes!! :hug:

I'm having fun learning about these new hobbies though....Good to stimulate my worn old mind!

And now fir a little more house cleaning!!

Good info, thank you!! I didn't know this...Never really worked on bikes much. YouTube has been a savior adjusting brake and shifting , etc. They are actually fun to work on, compared to a rusty Ford, say!! :lol:

Just got an email from a friend saying his $1400 stimulus was in his account today!!

Bacon & eggs anyone?? Fresh OJ??

Good idea to look for a better fitting bike. You're putting you ass on the line literally......fun is only fun when you're not hurt. LOL I've busted my ass a lot.

Yup. Hurt the pocket book too. Oh well. I need it. I suffer because of my teeth a lot. I'm not excited but I'm looking forward to getting it done. My overall health is going to be better and if my constant suffering goes away, it'll be worth it.

Hopefully you get a multi tooth discount.

It's good you're taking care of it. It's gonna suck for a bit but it'll be better.

I'm about to get my first bit of metal in me. Tuesday I'm having 6 teeth pulled and replaced. Gonna have some titanium in my mouth. The next few months are going to suck. It's gonna take a while for my mouth to heal.


Morning all. bongsmilie bongsmilie bongsmilie

I use 3 Tablespoons household bleach to 1 Cup water for a mouthwash. This helps kill gingivitis. I highly recommend it and yes it tastes just like Satan's jizz.

Sun was shining all morning and it's close to 40F at noon ...but as soon as I typed that it clouded over :o

Time for a Sunday morning breakfast... Then I think I'll start some tomatoes today! I've got some cherry and regular seeds leftover, and stored in the refrige. They should sprout.

I saved a bagful of marigold heads so I have thousands of Marigold seeds, since seeds were scarce last year, and I tested hem last week and they do germinate just fine!

First, bacon! :hump:
