That's like riding a bicycle with no hands on the handlebars, looks cool but shouldn't do it for more than a few seconds or it's tempting fate. As far as looking like a bomb at Home Depot, naw, the work gloves prove you are there for some home improvement items.

I'm thinking 3/16 " x 3 " flat head screws are a good size to use. I need a working (ie it can close and open without falling off the frame) door/hinge to run an 8000 BTU portable AC in a single room. You could put some kind of thick adhesive like wood glue on the screws to fill in the gaps where the screws were torn out, and put some strong glue like Gorilla glue on the plate where the screws go through, put the door back and stick something in the gap at the other side of the door to put pressure on the glued area for a few hours until the glue dries, that would probably hold. Other than that, I don't know, you might have to hire someone to fix it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That little vacuum runs for about two hours a day 5 - days a week and is about four years old now. Anybody want to do the math? How many miles is that? About 2000 hours, or about 60 miles, oww, my head. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know for a fact that some people see our wheels sitting against a wall and are very suspicious of them.

On my ACM is keep my feet all the way towards the center of the pedal but on the i5 I ride with them very far out. The pedal is wide enough to accommodate it and I think it is very comfortable. I didn't have a hard time transitioning to the wheel. I like not having contact with the wheel at all, and it is also why I assume there is no padding. I know some people like to hug the wheel though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've known so many people (and seen so many people) doing it for super long distances/times. It always struck me as nuts, but I guess people just love doing that and always will.

Thanks for the reply. Wow, I'm surprised that there's such a large contingent of Hispanics 'just from over the border' in Salem. You could be describing what I see here, but I'm in Southern California. Salem is a long way from the border. I guess construction in every state of the country has been taken over by cheap labor. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Eisenman Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 In the 1970s in Philadelphia I shared some lab space with someone from California. Her parents owned producing farm land in CA. She would talk about sky rocketing real estate prices and areas of housing booms. Years later she (PhD in hand) abandoned the science career scene to be a lawyer (in CA?). The local Boston (wharf area) economy awaits this weekend the arrival of the 'Tall Ships' and untold numbers of visitors, tour takers, restaurant patrons, evening boat cruisers, hotel space occupants, car lot parkers, bar hoppers , souvenier buyers, electronic car toll (tunnel and bridge) generators, and more. Security to be very tight for the event. I think the Tall Ships (some at least) are coming from a last stop in Halifax , Nova Scotia. I wonder if 'codzilla' (Google C O D Z I L L A) will see a revenue spike? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the way up there? Dang, that is kind of depressing. I mean, it seems normal in the border states, but geez! Is our economy still growing so fast that the normal birthrate can't keep up? Did the Big Dig provide a lot of jobs? And when it was finished there were too many workers? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People don't want to pay ordinary livable wages; much less for insurance and all the other expenses that come with the legal economy -- they want to pay what's necessary to get by in poverty when you're living 8 to a room. You can't get away with that legally, so if they are available, the illegal will always find work. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a combination of speed, accumulated road salt, low temperature and unseen ruts. The ground is really really hard upon impact. ? My EUC is not made for all weather speed and terrain roughness. No beeps that I remember. I rode over the spot on Saturday in the normally expected way. PT has me working on mini pushups off a table. I swear they are making asphalt harder these days!
