Unclefishstick's Guide to Home Bicycle Repair

OH I did not get it lol. Sarcasm doesn't translate well on the boards. I'M turning 50 so it's all down hill. I actually started the down hill slide a few years ago. . I just finished plumbing in the new mag 12.. Here are some pics. The hose is for filling up the 5g bucket..I just open the gate valve and there she flows I left the magdrive 2 in as a submersible to help keep it all in suspension. I was thinking of getting one of those Votex Compost tea mixer but use it for my nutrients. That will defiantly keep it all in suspension. I will let this run for a while to see how it works. Those large vortex tanks are not cheap..

sounds like uncs the only one who could cry us a river, if any one else shed a tear and it would start hailing.

[unclefishstick]

mornin fellers

coffee is having a hard time overpowering the critical kush,probably should have kept a cutting of that,but it was a guest plant,and i have plenty of genetics to deal with here...gonna get a couple of cookie cuts again just for head stash,they make good space fillers,i only ended up with 2 girls from the c99 and sssdh seed runs,one of each,so there could be some room to fill in when its their turn to be flowered....maybe not with the sssdh since those tend to go pretty berserk in flower...
gonna try and cram in another seed run with a sssdh male crossed to sssdh,strawd,gg,and chemdog99 at least....im liking at least one of the phenos of the mental floss as well,and this aint breedin,its just some old fashioned chuckin'...



better get packing here,trying to get out for a ride and go pick up the tires i ordered and try and get GiGi all cleaned up and dressed pretty,so i can take her someplace nice...

went to the urgent care last night to try & get some meds to kick this shit .... but after 6hrs of not being seen by anyone other than the nurse taking our info & vitals .... we up & left . pissed me right off !!! 6hrs & not 1 nurse or DR came in at all & it wasn't busy .
what a way to spend a friday night huh ?

 

[unclefishstick]

why that doesnt sound like any fun at all...what,was the dmv closed or something? lol now thats a party!
got the seed run plants watered,looks like they can take a couple of days between waterings,another couple of weeks and i should be able to toss the male in...
time to go ride,need to run a few errands as well,need to wipe the camber down and lube the chain,its sure dusty out on the trails,the bike was near pristine when i left yesterday...

 

[dansbuds]

You can make your own vortex brewer with a cone bottom tank and an air pump, just make an airlift with some air stones or diffusers, check out microbe mans site. pm me if you want more info.

no dan,you just need to have money,then you get treated really well....
besides,if you're looking for a doctor you should have gone to the golf course!

DOH!

I damn-near cut the tip of my L index finger off (literally) over the summer. Was using my finger to wipe out the blade housing/shroud on a stick blender (while still plugged in, of course) and accidentally squeezed the trigger with my other hand. Twice!

Lacertaed almost the complete circumference of my fingertip - all but maybe 1/2"

We zip up to the Urgent Care, and I'm thinking "There better not be a fucking waiting room full of people.."

.. I get in there, the lady literally ushered me right to an exam room - didn't even sit down!

I was in and out of the Urgent Care in < 45 minutes - two x-rays and nine sutures!



Next time I damn near cut my finger off again, I'll know where to go for sure.

(Right before the accident, I had literally just opened my first beer for the day - hadn't even taken a sip. When we got home from the Urgent Care, the beer was still drinkably-cold. )

well i lost some blood today...man im beat,that was sort of a longish day in the saddle...not really sure how far it was with no comp on the bike,but i figure in the neighborhood of 30 miles,i know the climb in is 16 miles,probably 10 miles of dirt roading....there was a 2 mile stretch of flat riding right through catclaw...just imagine a bush armed to the hilt with thorns just like a cat claw,the little backward curve,the wicked sharp point...getting the picture? now imagine slapping into them at say 15 mph...sounds like fun right?

Evening Bikers ( I can say that now, haha)

Got fitted and picked up my bike today......went for a short ride to get comfortable shifting and braking. Man bikes have really gotten smooth since the last time I was on one many years ago.

Tomorrow is supposed to be in the 50's here so gotta take it out for sure.

 

[unclefishstick]

it is pretty amazing how far the tech has come on bikes,even things like the tires are pretty cool these days...

I wanted to see what the HB would look like @ 85 days. I got some naners. Don't let this one go more then 75 days. For my room it's perfect. No naners you could tell she was done @ 70 but to get to know her I had to take 1 to 85. Now I know she will try to make baby's when she know's her time is up.
