Bicycled, instead of drove, to the local bicycle shop, to buy new tires and tubes for a couple of bikes with old, rotted tires... could not bear to have them not usable at all. #BikeTooter
@ai6yr Yeah just make sure inside rim is clean. Wrap the gorilla tape starting about 4” from the valve stem hole, going over it and around the rim ending about 4” past the stem hole. Then slice a little x in the tape where the stem goes and push the valve stem thru.
Probably helps with a tube as well, but this is how we run tubeless tires.
@ai6yr I did see this, but until now hadn’t seen it was JUST a resident.
What’s the MSM play here?
Trying to get people to stop chasing or they will die? Terrible news, rip.
Bicycled to the library
Bicycled to a garage sale
Bicycled to the store (solely to buy snacks for the pet rabbits 🤔)
Saw some fitness cyclers
A few kids on bikes
No adults doing any utilitarian cycling
Eight bazillion cars (Nobody walks/bikes in LA!)
Annoyed the clerks in a store asking them where the nearest bicycle rack was (answer: nowhere nearby)
@ai6yr I drove by those temporary bike lanes 2xs yesterday, looked like a construction zone despite the digital signs and small b/w arrow signs, had no idea otherwise

@ai6yr I’d love too! Although getting all my tools to the job would be difficult 😆.
OTOH, maybe I could use a new e mtb and use as a write off 🧐 anyone ever done that? #bike tooter
@ai6yr I’ve actually thought about it a few times. If my job is local I could drop off tools day one and last day and then ride my bike the in between days.
@ai6yr It’s nice this program exists however it would be even better if they included artificial turf removal as an incentive as well. That plastic lawn is nasty stuff!
@ai6yr I’ve probably used this chemical maybe 3-5 times over my life. Stripping old varnish and stain off doors and cabinets. Super nasty stuff! Burns your eyes, your skin, really can knock you out if you breathe it! It’s actually been a few years since I’ve even seen it in CA. Problem is,
it’s so good at stripping, that there really is nothing else that even comes close to doing a similar job. 1-2 coats of this for stripping and done. Today’s strippers can take 10 coats easy! I don’t even offer stripping anymore because it’s so labor intensive with sub par results, plus the health factor whether using ‘the good stuff’ or ‘the new stuff’ is really bad either way, Good Riddance!
Based on the amount of stuff on the curb today, it's apparently spring cleaning weather. Dressers, desks, shelves, coffee tables (many coffee tables), TVs... Typical of our middle class neighborhood. Although, better that it can be scavenged off the curb than directly into the trash!
@ai6yr I’ve got a working microwave that smells like a burnt cookie at my curb if you want it?😆 Daughter overcooked a muffin in the microwave and the whole garage filled with smoke and smelled for a week before I replaced it. 😳😂
@ai6yr When we bought our home in ‘15 it has an add on w a wood/gas fireplace. In our first week here, I’d notice a gas smell from it. I found the problem. Called the gas co to come check. He said no leak everything ok. I then went into the garage and turned on our gas dryer. Said to him to check again. Sure enough there was a leak at the fireplace gas fitting when the dryer in the garage was on. I cut that pipe out asap and since only use it as a wood burning fireplace. Until we renovate that room anyways……
Oxalis is underrated as a landscaping plant! The bees love it. Edible (in small quantities... though probably wouldn't eat these, the dog also likes marking it, ha ha) #gardening#garden#flowers
