I bought one of those Honda generators a few years ago, put it in a Tupperware tub and have NEVER used it. Have no idea how it works. I think the wife and I are going to do a Generac natural gas back up. A co-worker said to run the Honda because the poles could sag or something if left unused...

We just got a bike lane installed in Norfolk, VA on Granby St. It has these huge curbs to keep the cars from going into the lane! The locals freaked out who live on this dangerous street but they're are old and don't ride bicycles anymore, so their opinions don't count. The few times we've used...

I dread seeing a MS250 saw come thru the department. I have to run it on the liquid cooled dyno because the 250 loves to pick up a vibration/oscillation. I clamp them down thru the handles and use a wood clamp to quell vibrations on the bottom of the loop handle. The 250 will also give you a...

So I still have my RadRunner 2 sitting in the garage. A co-worker called me and asked if I had any ebikes for sale because he knows I'm into them. I tell him yes, I have a RadRunner 2 for sale, and I'd like $400 but would take $200. He said a guy on the production floor was looking for a ebike...

I have a STIHL 160 electric chainsaw and the auto-bar oiler works great. When not in use I store it in a Greco baby bag. It might ooze a bit of bar oil after using it but nothing crazy or unusual. The auto oiler pumps can be removed for servicing if needed. They do sometimes fail. I've never...

I use my phone to post pictures online. If you're having trouble doing that reduce the photo size down to 40% before posting. It won't hurt photo quality either. If you have a Chromebook like I do you also have to reduce the photo size down before posting. My Chromebook has been in Guest Mode...

The BUZZ trike is still going strong but the gears are rigged right now. Owner bent the derailleur hanger and it's not replaceable. I though you could no longer ride 2 wheels? I gave away the RadRunner 2 a few weeks ago but the new owner needs to get it there. He's trying Pirate Ship like...

So I found a HONEST place to order physical media from! Amoeba Records in CA. I keep forgetting they have a mail order service. The site is kinda weird but you'll learn how to navigate it after messing around for awhile. So I ordered all the Steely Dan CD's I could from them and also ordered...

Strange, the calls died down for about a month. It was so quiet and peaceful! But I guess I can't block all of them. Now it's various "scams" like my time share property fees or my 401k trying to "help" me invest and other things that I know are scams. These people never stop! They just evolve...

I'll post pics of the bike later but I got my Fairdale Taj. As weird as it sounds I actually ENJOY hopping on it and going for a ride! The sealed hubs let it easily coast, the gearing is pretty good and it's silly light and nimble. Im waiting on brake shoes as I tossed the included shoes in the...

I was in the LBS that I try to avoid a few weeks ago and everyone was helpful, polite and useful! I was shocked! Only thing I can think is they must have a new manager. Moral seemed high as well in the service bay. Now I wish they carried Specialized again. Both of my local TREK stores are...

Update: I got a health scare and decided to get another bmx bike (27.5) to start riding again. I can still do bunny hops, endos, small jumps, some basic flatland tricks (even on a bigger bike), ride bowls and ramps, plus it will force me to get exercise. I'm keeping the Xpedition for now, or...

But it took over a bicycle shop over 100 miles away, with vague customer interaction, to do it. Im trying to stay local on this purchase. I'll still might dream of owning a Globe Haul though.....

Juiced is getting ready to launch product and being backed by Lectric it should be pretty interesting. Also, both Lectric and Aventon have released new product and I haven't heard anything "Off the record." about business practices from my local dealers so I wouldn't hesitate on buying from...

Narrowed my choices down. I still need to test ride a Aventon Abound LR but that shouldn't be a problem as I have 2 Aventon dealers close by. If for whatever reason the Abound LR doesn't work out I'm going back and getting the Radwagon 5 mentioned above. Rad seems to be back-up and operating...
