    Gravel Rash? I love it. And that first image is awesome, with the kids looking like "Holy snot! Look out! Here comes Dad!"

    Removing Stuck Seatpost

    It may sound counterintuitive, but hitting it in with a big hammer may break the rust hold just enough to get it to turn. And spray it with penetrating oil to help it along? She's in there good alright.

    I read the apology in the text wherein the writer explains that they were involved in not 1 but 2 hit and run accidents while riding. The second requiring rehab to re-learn how to walk again. With the hopes and determination to ride again. I know we mean no harm when we ramble sometimes...

    The… needs a new name

    Most folks think of Edgar Allan Poe and not Elijah when they think of Ravens. But I like the reference. Ooh! New name... Nevermore!

    My wife found me and yelled, "What have you been doing out here all this time?!" I answered, "What? Are you kidding? I've been busy like you wouldn't believe." "Yeah? Well, it doesn't look like it to me. C'mon and get something to eat." But deep down, we all know what happened that day. And I...

    Batteries and Chargers

    I re-enlisted back into the Army National Guard back around 2011. I was going to train in Aircraft Avionics which would have been 7 months at Ft. Rucker Alabama. I was stoked. Mind you I was in my 40's at this time. Made it through MEPS and into an aviation unit. But before going to train they...

    Batteries and Chargers

    After all these years on the planet, I have come to realize that I know nothing about electricity. I am humbled by your experience and masterful knowledge. If it were it me trying this I would have burned down the garage or the boat or both by now. 240vac? That scares me. I salute you.

    Electric Cargo Bike build: Need advice

    I don't know anything about electric bikes either and I like the design of that "work bike" in the photo. But it seems to me that without two wheels up front, the load in the bucket would need to be very centered and stable to prevent pulling to one side or tipping over. There might have to be a...

    Rustoleum new spray top = fail.

    Ya gotta see what the color really is after it dries! That 'ole cap color match thing is a hoax! Test it on the floors, the shelves, the guy's orange vest... ??? I worked at the Depot quite a while back now. I've seen things. :13:

    If it has Soviet proofs and doesn't have import stamps on the barrel it may be a Vietnam Vet bring back. Either way it's a decent shooter with iron sights. 👍
