Martinnfb Posted February 22, 2022 Author Posted February 22, 2022 Love the woodwork Ernie. I have a licence plate from Bratislava, not vintage, but probably rare in Texas. You want? 1

Martinnfb Posted March 23, 2022 Author Posted March 23, 2022 Thank You Carl. That scares me as well, I am hoping to make a use of the side roads , literally gravel roads at the outskirts of Calgary. I changed the tires to 38mm ones for that very reason 3
BlrwestSiR Posted March 23, 2022 Posted March 23, 2022 Not a bad idea. Maybe get some liners for the tubes to help prevent punctures. I'm running tubeless on my main mountain bike. A bit of a pain to set up sometimes but so much easier. 3
GusMac Posted March 23, 2022 Posted March 23, 2022 I've gone tubeless on my road bike and it's so much less hassle as Carl says. Bloody hard work pumping them up but pretty robust. We're lucky to have lots of quiet country roads round us to go out on but the flip side to that is that they aren't well maintained so lots of huuuuge potholes at the moment. 4
Martinnfb Posted March 23, 2022 Author Posted March 23, 2022 Very true, there are only two seasons in Calgary, the Winter and the Construction one 2 2

We haven't even had a particularly bad winter this year but they just seem to be cheaping out on the repairs, so everything falls apart quicker than ever. 3
GazzaS Posted March 24, 2022 Posted March 24, 2022 Well... if we're gonna make this a bicycle thread... 1 5
GusMac Posted March 24, 2022 Posted March 24, 2022 That one makes me think of the famous Billy Connolly joke from his first appearance on Parkinson. 😄 1 2
GazzaS Posted April 3, 2022 Posted April 3, 2022 Hey, look! A car! Yep... got it from a Marines group on facebook. 1 4
Jeff Posted April 3, 2022 Posted April 3, 2022 Ok............................ I will ask the question, that I really need some input on, if you guys can... about to build a garage for my Corvettes.... it is going to be a free standing building concrete floors, wood construction , insulated, kind of want a small shop , man cave.... nothing outlandish, .... I live in Canada, where the winters are damp and chilly, not really 'cold' but never the less, it will , or I want it to have a little heat.... only want to keep it about 60 deg F , with the opportunity to warm it up a bit so I can get in there in the winter and polish wheels etc..... so the question is...... what o you guys use to heat your shops/garages.... yes I have natural gas , but that is a bit pricey for my application.... furnace wud be hugely expensive.... electric base boards aren't really that much better...... just wondering if there is something out there, that maybe I missed that is fairly efficient and not overly pricey.... probably isn't but I thought I would throw it out there and ask, as one never knows... and a wood fired stove is definitely not in the picture... any ideas?? 2
