I repacked the bearings in a set of late 80s Shimano SPD pedals last night.

A fish saved my life once...

Do tell!

I ate it.
Heard this in an old movie written for Bruce Lee, just prior to his death and eventually acted out by David Carradine called Circle of Iron aka the Silent Flute in European markets. Pretty cool old movie, one of my favorites. Carradine plays a few different characters in it representing different styles of martial arts.

I was gonna make a joke about Crouching Tiger Hidden Salmon . . .

(Well I guess that was it.)

What did you use? I hear bacon grease and loose dogs will make your sprints improve

What happens when you start a new bike build knowing that you don’t have room for it?

boat trailer wheel bearing grease! yup.

I've been using a blue grease that looks like boat trailer grease, but a little thinner, and I really like it.
It's made for fishing reels & sold by Diawa. But all I've ever had are little tubes.
I need to order me a tub of it.

Man I'm bored.
But no motivation to build, in fact I'm thinking of thinning the herd.
I have been playing a lot of guitar instead of doing all the other things I probably should be doing...
Like I've got to get on the move across town.
But I've got no help so I'm just taking a few things every other day or so.

Hello Hello Hello,,, Is there anybody in there?

I got busy and cleaned up the toolshed.

Too much rain to ride. Busy working on computers and the trike project.

I want to work on a car, but it’s too wet to weld in the boatyard.

Water is just running off of my tarp.

another random application that I've stashed for later implementation..

Get a good look, them pads would push against the inside of the rim next to the nipples. So would probably work well with a wider rim. But could also be reconfigured to lever a set of calipers.

A pedal like that could be used to actuate a cable! Thanks for sharing.

A rope guys walk into a bar. Goes to the tender and says "Gimmie a beer!"
Tender says "No can do, we don't serve ropes in this joint."
Ol' Ropey don't get too upset, he just goes outside, gets hisself all twisted up and looped and disheveled, and heads back in to try again.
The barkeep says "Hey get outta here, didn't I just tell you we don't serve roves here?"
Ropey flashes a crooked grin and says, "Nope. I'm a frayed knot!"

A termite walks into a bar and asks “where is the bar tender”. You might get this one tomorrow.
Or:
A guy walks into a bar, the next guy ducked.

The army transferred Sarge to a remote pacific island to work on radar. During orientation he was warned not to fraternize with the locals because of a dreaded local disease, “Hong Kong Dong”. Well, first payday (once a month) sarge gets way drunk. The next morning his blade is black. “Oh no, I hope it’s not Hong Kong Dong, I can’t remember last nights details”. Sick call Doc. says “you got Hong Kong Dong, the only thing we can do is cut it off”. Sarge: “I want a second opinion before that drastic move“. Doc: ok, there is a Chinese doctor in town, see him. Chinese doctor confirms the diagnosis. Sarge: “What‘s next“. Chinese doctor: “nothing”. Sarge: “whew, the army Docs wanted to cut it off”. Chinese doctor: “cut, cut, cut, that’s all western Docs do, no need, in a month, fall off”.
