Then lunch.....mmmmm.....tapioca lol

 

Hey now, rice pudding from a good Indian restaurant, good stuff right there!

 

Gotta run, have a rifle that needs sighting in and a revolver that wants to be shot.

Stuff you can do when you're retired, go to the range in the middle of a work day.

 

Hey, thanks for rubbing it in! Sounds fun, I'm very jealous

 

Pay back for the pudding jokes. Gotta go, don't want to miss the Early Bird Special at Denny's!

 

Don't forget your coupon, I have extras if you need one...

 

No thanks, I'm on their Frequent Indigestiion Program and get a permanent discount.

 

Arggggh. I'm older than all you guys! Well except for the 104 YO dude.

 

Life is a big race around the sun, you're winning!

 

Not really. My parents just had sex before the rest of yours!

 

Hi , everyone. Haven’t been around this thread in quite some time. Hope everyone’s ok.
Was wondering if anybody has used or even heard of shock warehouse. A google search showed not so favorable reviews. I think I’m more than likely to go with headstrong for my from shock and coil assembly. Not sure

 

I'd stick to what we all know is good and go with Headstrong. What shocks are you going for?

 

Bilstein 5150 with the 885 coils. I think I got the coil part right. Want to level off the front. Considering UCA and LCA’s as well. Not sure yet

 

Nope

 

Anyone in MA buying anything special for Tax Free Weekend?

 

Not necessarily, my birthday is end of November so my folks started me a year ahead of time as I was right on the cusp. It sucked during school because I was one of the last ones in my class of about 230 to do most things like get my license, though graduating at 17 wasn't bad.

 

When is it?

 

Not buying anything, but did this last night. Converted the old Schwinn from a 3x8 setup to a 1x10. A couple months ago, it got new tires, brakes, grips and a full service. Not bad for an almost 25 year old bike.
Before

process started, getting the cranks off was… fun

final product


And, you guys will appreciate this, you may notice i did all this work in the kitchen... my wife walked in, gave me the WTF look and all i couod say was, 'at least there aren't headlights in the oven this time...' Gotta keel things in perspective.

 

Nice work. My Cannondale Synapse 105 is about ten years old. Fairly maintenance free other than a new rear wheel, cassette and chain.

 

The weekend when there is a Sales Tax Holiday on most items up to $2,500.00.
