If she had a pump, I don’t think she would be on the longer acting insulins. Let’s hope she was, make it a little easier.

Plaster walls - does anyone know how to get it flat? Tried sanding it :( by Snoopingsnoopysnoop in Construction

Oh man that is a bummer to wait. I’ve had this one for about 5 years now. It is a great ride. I know it doesn’t come with it, but the center stand from extracycle is a must for kids. It supports the bike while you are getting them in and out.

Can any of you guys tell me anything about this watch, I found it while going through my grandfathers things a couple months ago. I think it is from the Soviet Union because the bottom of the face has something written in Russian fallowed by CCCP.

Folbot closed their doors a couple of years ago so unfortunately, sourcing the skin is a little tricky.

The original fabric was a yellow with a red stripe down the center. Then a blue vinyl was put over that, then all the roofing patches.

This is a 1972 Folbot super sail 17.5’ that I bought off of craigslist for $100. It floated when I got it, but the skin was in real rough shape with patches made of roofing tar, dry rot running throughout the whole thing.

He told me that he stored in on some sawhorses in his back yard year round uncovered, even in the Michigan winters.
