    2015 Race Thread - Inspirational Title

    Damn, that's a pretty honest post @jShort James and I talk about the post-child topic often. For me it's this panic of not riding anymore, having to have a child, and then get back in to shape just in time to have another one? Thankfully all of you guys are pretty great parents, and we're...

    The DIY thread - DIYourself

    So there are no cracks in the actual foundation. It's like 1/4 inch of paint, or whatever he used, that's chipped off. My guess is that there was already paint chipping, and then he just went over it and now there's more. I can take photos. I just know if I paint over those spots, there will...

    The DIY thread - DIYourself

    Question for all you DIYers. I want to re-paint our foundation this Saturday. We have paint cracked and chipping off (my guess is this guy didn't use Masonary paint) but before I can paint I want to repair those sections. What do you use to patch up those spots? I'm not finding what I want...

    roof rack vs hitch rack

    We have a roof rack on our Honda Fit, but have a hitch on the CRV. The hitch is AWESOME. Not sure why I ever bought a roof rack... I think it was purely for making the car look cooler. No fit jokes necessary, let's keep this thread on topic :p. But being able to throw the bikes on the back...

    Steal This Thread

    So I feel like you either want to ride bikes for the sake of riding bikes, or you want to ride bikes to get better. I think tons of people just ride to ride. They are happy with just pedaling along and not pushing themselves towards progressing further. I think about the people who go on the...

    4/11-12 Weekend in Pics

    I finally finished my Free99 console table this weekend. Fits perfectly under this photo that I was terrified of having to move higher. Score! I also found amusement in this t-shirt I spotted at SSAP. Hopefully this doesn't offend any *******.

    Need help picking beer for my wedding

    We don't drink either, so we ended up going with 3 opposite (to me) kinds of beer. Heineken, Yuengling, and Pearl's parents wanted Coronas. I really didn't think anyone would drink the Corona, but I'm pretty sure there were zero left by the end of the night. Go figure. I wouldn't worry...

    Moon Shadows are Evil

    I used to think you're a dick, until I met you in person. You've pissed me off on more than one occasion, but 99% of the time I enjoy reading your posts. Sure, half of the time they are adding no value, but you could say that about the majority of regulars on this forum. I think you're an...

    Lamps, Table, Wall Clock...

    Thanks gentlemen! @fidodie If I didn't have a door in the basement that I wanted to get rid of, I'd take you up on it! @rick81721 That stain was deep. It was the reason I had to sand the table for as long as I did. It ended up lightening up WAY lighter than the rest of the table, and then...

    Checking Luggage: Adventures in Time Bending 9178

    I remember living without the kitchen sink for 2 weeks... washing dishes in the bathtub was not fun. BUT it's completely worth it because it will be over soon, and you will never have to do that again. Better now than when the baby is here!

    Lamps, Table, Wall Clock...

    I had to show you the progress on your (now mineeeeee) console table. After hours of being pulled around by my palm sander, I finally met the raw wood last night and stained him. Have to share this little guy's progress. Before: During: Top stained, bottom awaiting paint... I have to...

    Recycling Centers that Pick Up Metal

    I feel like the MTBNJ hoarder, even though I'm so far from that. But I love free stuff. I almost picked up a leaf blower the other day because it was free... @pearl said no. If the filing cabinets are in better shape than the ones I have now, and close properly, I am interested. Pics

    Checking Luggage: Adventures in Time Bending 9178

    There's a lady at work like this. She's just gross. I usually tell her that I'm sick and don't want to pass germs/take in any more. Always works for me

    Heckle-cation the other months of the year.

    We had pretty much the exact same "needs" when we decided to purchase the CRV. We ended up getting a 2013 with only 26k on it for $20,000. It gets like 23-25mpg (on my long commute it gets 27mpg) which was way more than the other SUVs we were looking at. The tank is pretty small (like a car)...

    Heckle-cation the other months of the year.

    Bob's Red Mill Apple Strawberry Granola is my jammmmmmmmmmmm. But right now I have the honey oat too, because it was on sale. I know you know that feel. But seriously, Bob's products are my favorite. The 10 Grain pancake and waffle mix is a pre-race must in our house. Now I want pancakes...

    I'm starving him. I some how convinced James that he liked vegetables over the winter. Even if he didn't like them, I put them on his plate anyway. He ate them. He now looks like Kirt. Or is it Kurt? :rolleyes:
