    You can use both sides, right only or left only and there are two levels of brightness.

    Looking forward to using this thing on Sunday.

    Biggest reason I pulled the trigger; that and the 10% off at acme tools:

    New product and restock on an old favorite:

    About this weekend...

    Home repairs:

    Oil change and tire rotation..tested out the new DeWalt light.

    Finally utilized the drain here after clearning the debris out using an old chainsaw file tip:

    Note: don't use cheap plastic cups. I was doing such a great job keeping everything clean.

    Used some leftover ABS from my brother's tailgate project to plug this hole. Came out pretty good:

    Another great weekend in the books.

    Both of our bikes are just off the rack Schwinns. I'm looking for something a little more stout for some real mountain biking..like trek or specialized

    Bah!! Schwinn is a great ride..though to be fair I don't do anything aggressive for MTB. Though my 86 works well.

    Trek Roscoe makes for a great and also affordable entry MTB. Let the MTB addiction take hold! :D

    That’s what we ride. They’re phenomenal! My wife rides the Roscoe 6, I have a 7. We really need to get those out more.

    For sure. But with winter coming and tires on their way out, wheels and tires first.

    I had a Stache for a while and massive amounts of fun! Ended up selling it to a buddy, and picked up a UK steel hardtail! :cool:

    Well, a week ago, the strykers were available to order 5. This week, there was only 1 available. So, I snagged it. It'll give me a chance to see how it looks and decide how I like it and if I want to proceed. I figured that minimal investment is the way to go if I change my mind/plan.

    The plan is to order new tires for black Friday this year. Thinking General Tire. Second choice would be some Cooper tires.

    Thoughts?

    NTD

    Needed clamps for woodworking projects and ever since I was a kid, my dad had the blue and yellow. They were on sale from Acme so it was a no brainer.

    Couldn't wait for Sunday:

    The back of the weather tech is a bit in the way. I didn't cut it yet. I marked it and everything but I want to see what's going to fit there first and how it's going to fit.

    Going to order mounts for a D cell maglite and for a 2.5 lb fire extinguisher. My 3.5 is a bit big for the space. Thinking that I will eventually order one for the passenger side. Liking it so far.

    They need to get more in stock. And I think I know what tires I'm going with too. I think black Friday is going to be very good to me this year..again.
