the 3M Dual lock is really hanging in there. 1.1 lb load each on these.

Installed new V-brakes on my Zizzo folding bikes, models BR T-4010 and BR T-610. https://i.postimg.cc/8kt55xyp/IMG20260313170523.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/59n00DPx/IMG20260313170535.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/jqZ55B8q/IMG20260313170545.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/7Pm66jBq/IMG20260313180701.jpg https://i.p...

He forgot to tighten the fuel line B-nut to the carburetor, and he was using drugs, so he shouldn’t have been flying. His flying patterns indicated he was suffering from a mental condition. https://data.ntsb.gov/carol-repgen/api/Aviation/ReportMain/GenerateNewestReport/193721/pdf The pilot was condu...

Cool and windy today, and I got a late start at 1:30 PM after finishing some printing. I flew to SGH and rode into Springfield, visiting the Heritage Museum, which is very well done. Next, I went to a new coffee shop to try their Chai Latte, which was excellent, as reported. Then, I rode to the next...

I plan to bike the Dayton Aviation Trail and earn a free water bottle. I only need to visit six of the twelve locations. Dayton offers excellent bike trails, a rich aviation history, and a fantastic food scene. There are four small airports around Dayton that are great for launching from, so be sure...

Piqua/Hartzell Field to Troy, Ohio, and back, visiting the Waco Museum – 40 miles. It was a junk food kind of day. I had Chinese deep-fried chicken, which, while definitely junk food, was good. Upon returning home, I had strawberry cake. I also made sure to get in my push-ups and pull-ups. I visited...

There was some rain in the morning, but the weather turned pleasant with a high of 25°C, though a bit windy. I put on the bug blades since the insects are back. The new front brake on my bike works great and was only $19. I hadn’t planned to ride 60 miles today—it just happened. https://i.postimg.cc...

I check my blood pressure daily, and it seems to have dropped by 10 points across the board. The only explanation I can think of is the cold showers, which engage the smooth muscles in the arteries and improve circulation. I haven’t come across any literature mentioning this, and it’s just a single ...

Sardines are like nature’s multivitamin, packed with nutrients that the body can easily use. If you’re an older retiree, they’re a great choice for their protein, omega-3s, collagen, and more. These are inexpensive for the nutrients they contain.

Sadly, there was a fatal accident in Utah involving a group flight, with one going down. There wasn’t much altitude to work with, and it might have been close to being saved. Be careful if you ever feel the need to prove yourself to the group—it can be a dangerous trap. it's fun and games until it's...

going into the final 4-weeks of 100 push-ups a day at full force!

By March 14, I had completed over 7,000 push-ups and biked 265 miles since January 5. Keeping track of your workouts is key because it’s a big part of staying healthy.

I made some Polyphenylene Sulfide wire supports for some military application evaluation. I am not sure how they will be used.

probably pick this one up for a song. includes some grass on the nose wheel. https://www.underwriterssalvagecompany.com/Listing/Details/4782277/N696JE-2012-Vans-RV7A https://i.postimg.cc/sgkqJXbj/04aee925-cdef-4115-a53f-91bb40ada54a-largesize.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/3xsVZRzy/d9e4dcfc-6dd3-4593-8892...

Nice weather today. The MBT surface was just right. The alum welds on the beater bike are doing fine. I ate too much. For MBT's I do three things: 1) drop the handlebars, 2) drop the seat, 3) drop the tire pressure. https://i.postimg.cc/Jn9vF4h6/IMG20260228105400.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/RhKyx53P/IM...

folding headset mount installed on some aircraft.

As I departed the house, I wondered if this was the correct day for a bike ride. The temperature was supposed to rise to 6C where I was headed. I used the plastic bag trick on clipless road bike shoes. Eye protection cleaned and checked, good to go. After I returned and upon filling the tanks, I not...

I made some more of the most expensive cup holders in the world, but they will most likely last the life of the aircraft because they are very robust.

I cut 4cm off the handlebar width from the Zizzo speedster. A couple proper pedal spacers. It was cool weather today. When I departed in the late afternoon it was 1C. The lobster gloves did not give me any problems in the bike cockpit. Some warm soup midway helped. 30 miles today and the handlebars ...

It was nice to be able to ride in February in Ohio. Some snow traces still on the trail to a couple of villages. Only about 30 miles but my legs felt like it was 60. That's what to expect after a hard winter and no riding. A new people bridge to bring more to the bike trail. I found that I like a co...

more baffle wire seals printed yesterday.... these are 8mm S (for Sulfide), three holes. very popular. turn up the heat!
