    Any scotch/whisky drinkers in here?

    It's one of those online Influencer coolers that likes to ruin everyone's vacation sunset photos.

    Tariffs...what to make of them.

    One of them is nuts, the other provides me with extreme convenience. I just checked and me and my son averaged 149 orders a year for the past 6 years. Wife's is separate. The fact that I can order a $5 item and have it here when I wake up tomorrow means I almost never run to the store for...

    What have you done to your bike today?

    It's like house arrest and my next appointment isn't until the 17th.

    I try to even it out by owning their stocks. Pretty sure my family is fueling all of Bezos's yachts.

    What have you done to your bike today?

    I approve. My wife, not so much. 3 weeks into rotator cuff injury and fractured patella and she gets really upset if I go out and play. I'm not 100% sure I could get my Levo onto the repair stand yet but really itching to try. I miss the days before WFH for the wife,

    Pay it Forward

    You'll need to know thread pitch and actual axle length, not the hub width. Will vary by frames.

    I think trump was hoping that blowing up a Venezualan row boat in the middle of the ocean would be more of a distraction than it turned out to be.

    I Could and Would Use Another Fat Bike

    The full suspension El Conquistador I sold to @SLug weighed about 44 lbs. Only a few pounds more than the Schwinn Varsity I had as a kid.

    How the hell are we supposed to retire?

    While I'm hoping for a few down days, everyone can thank me for the surge in the market that is bound to happen over the next few days. We're in the middle of a 401K rollover so we have a big chunk out of the market right now. I'm always telling my wife not to worry about a dip because...

    Things that make you smile :)

    The firebox in my 12 year old Big Green Egg has had a slowly growing crack for years. Finally let go. Email to BGE and to my surprise, they said no problem that's covered. Now I I have an extra $160 to spend. Isn't that how economics works?

    Things that make you frown :(

    Our property tax valuation has barely changed in the 27 years we've lived here. The taxes paid first year more than doubled from the previous owner. Since then they have tripled again. Haven't re-paved our street since we've lived here.

    Just buy this, find a Monster T and some Shinburgers and you'll be good to go.

    The DIY thread - DIYourself

    I’m getting bored stuck at home. Any thoughts on how to refinish at least the top of this Big Green Egg stand? It’s covered most of the time. This is about 12 years of neglect.

    Props to Hadjar. Youngest French driver ever to podium.

    Has anyone jumped on this "free" solar energy thing?

    One step closer to going back to the Industrial Revolution. Trump would be proud.

    Has anyone jumped on this "free" solar energy thing?

    Does a solar setup really increase the sale price of a home? I've never looked. Personally I'd treat it like a house with a pool when shopping and avoid it completely but I'm sure some might be enticed by it.
