60+ year old thread.

Like chasing the carrot at work..

 

It worked didn't it, until they ran out of carrots!

 

Kitchen faucet project turned out great! Made a big improvement in the overall look. Wife is happy, so all is right in the universe. We have an extra hole in the counter, where the old sprayer was. Wife says put a lotion pump bottle in it. I said hand sanitizer.. we'll go with lotion.

 

All this talk of ebikes, this might interest some folks here.

I might have to come up with some kind of a trailer for the ebike to go grocery shopping.
I'm not diggin these gas prices at all.

 

Evening all:
Some good info. on those videos that may help others out, by just simply changing the position of the front fender really made a big difference in the looks of that bike.

 

Good morning fellow Porchatonians! The dogs haven't figured out DST...and it seems I haven't either. I slept in until 4:20 today.

I've got some small projects to do around the house today. Looking forward to temps in the 50s this week.

Be safe!

 

Good morning everyone. Going up to 60 degrees later on today. Grocery shopping and lunch are on the agenda for today.

 

If anybody's interested here's Betty's bike. A more traditional fat tire ebike. In a step through frame style.

'Batchelor Week' began yesterday; SWMBO is house sitting for her daughter's family while they visit colleges. Got caught up on "F1 Drive to Survive" on Netflix last night, and I can watch all the shoot-em-ups I want for the rest of the week!

 

Good Morning Porch! Finished a fine birthday celebration with a nice Mexican dinner at a just good food place here. So, no one cooked all day. Drag it out the rest of the week, we will! Have Spectrum coming to move the outside box this am. The folks I have managed to come look for a quote on back up all have coveted the space, so I will get it moved. Inch by inch, I will get to having wired back-ups available. Oh, the fireplace insert folks finally called (should be ready mid-February), and all the parts have made it. Now, the independent installer will call at some point....

First Friday of the week off to a start of some kind! And the main part of the next truck project got delivered yesterday! That will start soon.

 

Looks like they have a patch campaign going to raise money for the @Unchained 5150 family.

Our house has a "greatroom - living room - kitchen - office" open concept design. Until now, the kitchen space has had tile and the rest carpet...... My wif decided to hunt down the matching tile, and have the whole space made to have the same flooring. Tile got shipped from Houston - and it matches - 2200 pounds, thank god for UPS tailgate service. I spent the weekend moving everything you can imagine to the garage - about 1000 pounds of books and files, giant oak desk and sofa - tons of everything else.
Note to self: Hire moving company to come do this in the future and have wif budget that into the cost of improvements............. I have always tied into this stuff myself and it wasn't a problem in younger days. But now, my back and shoulder are telling me it wasn't such a great idea!

 

Been watching "Bordertown" a Finnish crime drama. I'm good with German, so I can kind of follow along with Dutch, Danish, and Swedish.
Finnish (Soumi) is totally foreign.

My Vizio TV seems really slow to synch into Netflix. Black screen. Darn it. Messed with rebooting (unplug TV). Nope.
Finally remembered I still have a Roku Box plugged into the TV, it has been so long, took a while to remember WiFi and Netflix logins.

My finish still sucks. Katto = Roof. (Sniper fired from a roof, so Sorjonen has it written on his blackboard)

It's a good mental challenge to see how my phrases I can recognize!

It's been a few years since I last visited, I love the scenery in those shows.

 

Good morning 60'ers

My back is hating on me today after loading another full load of branches and tree stuff that needed to be cut/dug out. Between 700-800lbs in the Taco ready to go to recycle (we can't burn here). That was on top of 3 hrs of digging holes and replanting some shrubs to keep the dogs from wandering out of the yard. Great sunny day for it, now dark clouds waiting on rain.

Nothing can be done for my back, waiting on Soovu to be released. Hurry up already!

 

I liked Bordertown, as well as several other Euro crime dramas and sci-fi series.
Actually, I prefer them as I don't know the actors.

 

We I had today off work and it got to 57 here so I took care of bedding the brakes on the bikes and then testing them out.
This one does 20mph on throttle only and easily reached 30mph pedaling in top gear, nice bike! My Betty is gonna love it. I aired the tires up to 20 psi

Also aired mine to 20 psi and did the same test. I hit 30 into the wind and 34 with the wind throttle only. Pedaling is just for show beyond 20mph, lol. The big difference between the bikes is how fast mine gets up to speed, pretty quick with its 1,000 watt motor.

The bikes are both really fun, and quiet. All I really hear is the tire noise.
Got em both on the charger now.
