Need to get a basic mountain bike with a trailer, so you can extend your scrounging range, and work those calves at the same time!

right! i like seafoam, never have used it to decarb the engine. no doubt about it... some of those late 40's and early 50's beaters... with high mileage... had carbon fouling down to a science!!! lol
'naw! if it sparks, just put it back in....'
thanks for the thot, Pb ~ i got 4 mtn bikes. i can hardly keep up with the scrounges that just keep falling down in the neighborhood. 6 miles works my calves and heart good enuff. well, so says my Doc each time they take my BP!!
isn't that something!? just about as bad up in Seattle, too!
but i bet if someone stole $900 worth of gasoline... mite be a dif story!!!
Yep , you hit the Bulls Eye Tex ! Steady as we go !hi B ~ always wondered how you came up with your handle....
caught up with a CBS Sunday Morn show i had recorded last nite. had a bit on today's current inflation. supply and demand. covid related. pandemic. Econ101. so says the bright brains in Economics out of Harvard, etc... Dept Directors, Profs... supply went down due to pandemic... but demand was high. so prices followed suit! add in the issues of distribution. ie, labor shortages. prediction is we will see a return to a more stable economic normalcy around late 2022/early 2023... show showed the %'s of costs increases... housing, food, meats, fish, etc. oil realted (gasoline) was highest at over 50% increase. other stuff single digit, some like 11%...
but me, personally.. i doubt it!!
ha, oic! well... if i believe half of what you post, sounds more like a satirical irony! and oh, btw - i believe all you post!!! lol

yes, welcome...
sometimes this thread gets a tweak off topic... lol
usually, pretty interesting to say the least! plenty swell wood pix, mountain pix and snow pix, too...
Now I agree with that in theory but in reality things seem to be getting worse rather than better.
Prices have been raised due to increased demand. But demand at higher prices is still higher than normal.
Also, where are people getting this money???? Most of the government covid handouts are now over with yet everyone is out spending like they’ve won the damn lottery. And even the folks getting the handouts are not the ones who can afford to drive prices bonkers on things like late model vehicles, recreational toys, and guns.
For instance, let’s say someone makes $50,000 a year. Perhaps they’ve received a raise over the past two years and now make 55… they may have stockpiled a little bit of savings during the Covid shut down because they weren’t spending money on things like vacations and such but then the increase in consumer staples has gone up so significantly that it would gobble up any extra money that they’ve saved within a matter of a few months. Now let’s say they’ve collected $10-$15,000 in Covid money… If they went out and bought one used vehicle all of that money is gone. So again, where is all this extra money coming from that everyone seems to have!?
how much snow is falling in the East? weather channel just posted up a blip:
the I-95 could become trecherous today!
headline is:
Izzy delivers snow to the I-95 cities n towns... up to a foot new snow in the Apps...
yikes!!
ps: this is not intended to be off-topic! more so a winter advisory for those in the area thinking of cutting/splitting scrounged firewood today...

Haven't seen any sales on it either. On the kind I use from my dealer the price went up $2 gallon last time I looked. $12.95 a gallon now. I bought a case of 6 and got the quanity discount just before it went up. A tad over $9 a gallon. I think the days of $4.99/gallon farm store prices are gone.
Maybe because gas is a regulated commodity?isn't that something!? just about as bad up in Seattle, too!

There's a reason why you cab only pump 75-100$ at one time before the pump stops.
OK fellas, pay attention because I'm gonna give you a peek at the magic trick. Make sure you look quick because I might just take it down after you've seen it once.
I've got a Brooks Flyer on my touring bike... actually my second bike for that saddle!
The photos show a couple bikes I and one of my sons used. One shows the Brooks... and a pizza! "Cast Iron Cyclist," his handle, is a guy we ran into in Yellowstone. I thought he was nuts carrying that! The photos are from 1986, 2010, 2011 and 2013. My last long trip was 2017. I hope to do a long trip this year (1,500-2000 miles) but that is contingent on a lot of things in my life being in alignment! The day I woke up to snow in PA I rode about 108 miles... somewhere about 60-70 miles of it in the snow! There wasn't much accumulation but it was steady...
I've been kicking around ideas for how to carry a chainsaw, fuel, PPE and other gear with me on a bicycle for the "emergency" rail trail work. Maybe with a trailer... One of the bicycle rack companies was working on a chainsaw mount for their rear bicycle mounted rack but I don't know that it went to market. Getting the firewood out with a bicycle would be a huge job too so I haven't moved forward!
