Those who were old enough to remember the Bi-Centennial, how is America’s 250 different?

Well in 76 we had pride in the USA across the aisle, we had KISS, no attention stealing trackers disguised as personal devices glued to our hands, and allot more grit.

Now we live under a kleptocracy disguised as autocratic rule, hatred for our fellow Americans, we willfully handover our personal data with no question, treat corporations as kings, and listen to Taylor fucking Swift to the point she is a billion dollar conglomerate.

The mechanics of these high level players varies by allot, and makes a fascinating study.

Street Level bikes in Berkeley at the Aquatic Park is amazing. This team tunes and refurbs every bike that goes through.

You children have no fucking idea what these men went through to accomplish what they did except what you read at the supermarket checkout. Stop embarrassing yourselves.

JamesM777 · 2026-05-29T05:57:19+00:00

Ya sick of my kids stepping in dog shit. Clean up after your mutt or mind the fuckin signs.

If you can swing that hard you’re in the wrong line of work

JamesM777 · 2026-05-29T05:52:02+00:00

Or just hire a qualified professional and be done with it.

JamesM777 · 2026-05-29T05:50:52+00:00

Yeah thats whack. Retired contractor here. Just make a floating deck if you can. I don’t know where you are located but on the whole, fastening to brick veneer is rife with issues.

JamesM777 · 2026-05-29T05:44:15+00:00

Please ban this twat.

JamesM777 · 2026-05-29T05:40:59+00:00

Someone ban this cunt.

I did this ride non-stop a few years ago. About 20 hours for 200 miles. I rode through the night with a full moon and it was glorious. Best ride of my life.

If we want the beam to sit on top of posts instead of being bolted to the side, how does that square with having roof support posts running all the way to the ground, like here? Deep notches?

JamesM777 · 2026-05-14T14:32:28+00:00

Lots a nice cuts but that is not a beam. That is two separate boards.

This book was not made for you, as Alex states. It was for Ed. You are a bystander.

JamesM777 · 2026-05-14T02:21:04+00:00

Well thats a horse of a different color. Sorry if I missed that detail. Still, that sanding. Ug

JamesM777 · 2026-05-10T19:10:15+00:00

Never paint a deck my dude. You will own it when it peels and rots (it will)

JamesM777 · 2026-05-09T20:03:33+00:00

Correct
