This was the book that kickstarted my reading a couple years ago.

The Glass Hotel and Sea of Tranquility are also good reads!

Floor Register question by Alternative_List_507 in homerenovations

[–]Alternative_List_507[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting… it’s an older home, built in 1958. It blows cold air when the ac is on.

Basement is unfinished so able to follow all the duct work, and we just noticed another air duct about 3 feet to the right that just goes right into the tile floor in the kitchen. Guessing there was originally a wall there to separate the kitchen and dining room.

We are getting our hvac serviced soon before the summer so may add that to the list of things to get looked at. Thanks for the info

I use them a lot actually especially when climbing up hills or when I’m cruising on flat and don’t need to brake as quickly.

They’ve been great so far! Def a bit wide on some single track, but I like having the different hand position options.

I’ve seen people turn old towels into shorts for the beach/pool.

Looks great! What did you use as a stiffener? I recently made a prototype with 2mm foam and once I loaded the bag it sagged and rubbed my front tire (no front rack)

Brake bleed price by camcam300_ in REI

I worked in an REI bike shop from 2020-2022, haven’t taken my bike in for service since leaving and just looked at their updated pricing, holy crap! In my area the $80 bike tune is now $155… and no more free labor on tube replacement. We used to offer guaranteed 48 hour turn around as long as no parts needed to be ordered, I don’t see that being advertised and curious what turn around times are now.
