    .......and then you end up not doing squat

    My wife found me and yelled, "What have you been doing out here all this time?!" I answered, "What? Are you kidding? I've been busy like you wouldn't believe." "Yeah? Well, it doesn't look like it to me. C'mon and get something to eat." But deep down, we all know what happened that day. And I...

    Batteries and Chargers

    I re-enlisted back into the Army National Guard back around 2011. I was going to train in Aircraft Avionics which would have been 7 months at Ft. Rucker Alabama. I was stoked. Mind you I was in my 40's at this time. Made it through MEPS and into an aviation unit. But before going to train they...

    Batteries and Chargers

    After all these years on the planet, I have come to realize that I know nothing about electricity. I am humbled by your experience and masterful knowledge. If it were it me trying this I would have burned down the garage or the boat or both by now. 240vac? That scares me. I salute you.

    Electric Cargo Bike build: Need advice

    I don't know anything about electric bikes either and I like the design of that "work bike" in the photo.

    Rustoleum new spray top = fail.

    Ya gotta see what the color really is after it dries! That 'ole cap color match thing is a hoax! Test it on the floors, the shelves, the guy's orange vest... ??? I worked at the Depot quite a while back now. I've seen things. :13:

    Outskirtscustoms finds

    If it has Soviet proofs and doesn't have import stamps on the barrel it may be a Vietnam Vet bring back. Either way it's a decent shooter with iron sights. 👍

    Unknown Columbia bike and 1968 Schwinn Stingray I.D. and valuation help needed.

    I'm gonna cry. I'm so happy right now. And that banana seat? Glitter Rust? It's like they were waiting for each other all these years. Sniff. 🥲 Beautiful. And I mean that. 👍 Goldie's back in action! Alright!

    What are you listening to?

    Abby the Spoon Lady is one of the reasons we're going to move to the Asheville area. Good luck at the gig Carl. Simple Man and That Smell were my two Skynyrd favorites to play out. On a really good late night we'd have time to belt out Swamp Music. Those were good times. Sounds like 'ole...

    I had noticed on cabe that there is no :cool: emoji to respond to anything. They don't think anything is cool. Shame that. :cool2: I do.

    SWB0 CobblestoneRat - Done, but still getting little upgrades... ;-)

    Heavy duty rubber guy tassels? Sure. Why not. I like 'em. Even the rubber seat nads. Knockers? Bolos? The adjustable flag bracket is key too. :thumbsup:

    SWB0 After thought

    I agree, that is a crazy awesome paint job! And the matching hardware too! Sweet.
