60+ year old thread.

Painted the cabin. All I had to do was sign the check.

 

Now that is the way to get painting completed!!

Good morning everyone!!! Happy Saturday, stay at home day 1.

 

I put new tires and tubes on our garden cart yesterday. 15x6-6, same size as the front tires on most garden tractors. Those little buggers are no fun, let me tell you! I can't really complain though -- the old ones lasted, let's see, 28 years.

 

Hello fellow 60s

Over in the other thread we made a patch for one of our members, you may know who it is.

I am offering them up, just pm me with an address and I will ship them out to you.

Pending grumpy approval.

 

Good Morning Porch!

Looks like football and Putz for me today. I'm about Putz'ed out!

 

No clue at at ALL!

 

A couple weeks ago, I noticed a flat tire on my splitter. I know small tubeless tires will do this, so I put a ratchet strap around the tread, tightened the strap to push the tire bead into contact with the rim, and inflated it. Pop! Bingo! Worked like a charm. Did the same for a neighbor last summer. He thinks I know everything now. Got him fooled.

 

I just use starting fluid

 

Or...because you don't know me. Send the address to Grumpy and I will ship it to him

 

Good Sunday Morning. Today is a busy one. Off to have a follow up x-ray taken then grocery shopping. Back home to practice the guitar and clean out the pellet grill then off to a High School play. Still need to figure out dinner tonight.

 

Is that where you spray some starting fluid inside the tire and toss a match at it to seat the bead?

 

Yeup..
Sketchy I know but, customers wanted shit done and done fast.
You have flat bead tires you have to do something.
Don’t recommend the backyard guys do it but I weigh the risk..

 

Good Morning everyone! Better finally finish off that wiring putz this morning, because I have a busy week of going places to see professional people coming up.

 

We're currently under a flash flood watch...Anyone wanna bet that it's not going to rain?

 

@cheech1 , what's it like living with the volcanic activity that's on going ?

 

Doesn't really affect us on Oahu except for the vog. Only comes in when the winds are southerly, like they are now.

 

Good Morning Porch! Seems like I just sat down, and I gotta go!

 

Rowing Machine arrived. Concept 2.

I've been looking at them for a while, wanted something for cross-training in addition to my recumbent mounted on my Wahoo Kickr.

I like the instructions "start out slow, no more than five minutes the first day". Well, I do a lot of recumbent riding and lots of boxing/core workouts. Still, it is no kidding on different muscles. The lower back, lats, shoulders can feel it. It's relaxing (you get in the zone and keep rowing).

Dark Horse Rowing on Youtube has some good tips (back flat, hinge, push with legs, once legs are extended then pull back with arms). Trying to work on my form, need to find a personal trainer to make sure I'm not doing something stupid. Oh, getting my butt up against the legs (start of stroke) is tighter than I am used to having those muscles. Massive charlie horse last night (groin).
