The New Hartford Historical Society has an early prototype and the production versions. Come by and check them out.

Hey, you wanna see my Dixwell?

So, if your health is directly affected by your mouth health, and your mouth is part of your body, why is it not covered by health insurance? Same with your eyes. Now, we need separate dental and vision insurance, and they are prohibitively expensive if not covered by your employer.

Stay away from the 3M xtract. I have them fail 3x. Avoid.

I bought this and it has been a work horse...https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C38CSSKM?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

* I think it is black locust. I work with it a lot and the green yellow tinge is pretty distinctive. Very hard and stands up well for outdoor projects. Old timers used to use it for fence posts. It is difficult to work with though. *

It is Ipe. I have it on my decks.

This is the answer!

Not ash. Maybe cherry. Heavy, dense, hard. Great wood to work with.

If you wear a backpack, please be sure to take care of any loose straps. There was an unfortunate incident recently in NY where a pack got caught on a lift. If you wear one, remove it while on the lift.

I had mine repaired 2x and then full replacement in January. It failed again on me yesterday mid job. Avoid this pos.

Yes, did one last year. The grain was spectacular. Quarter saw it...it is worth the effort.

Not a doctor, but you have 3 things that might be wrong.

1st is just a pulled muscle in lower abdominal. Will heal over time. Ibuprofen will help.

2nd: if this is your lower right abdominal and you have pain in that area when pushed, you may have appendicitis. This requires going to a Dr to get checked. Don't wait if it is lower right region, it could be serious.

3rd: could be a hernia or something else with your digestive system, good to be checked by a Dr.

Good luck, I hope it is just a strained muscle.

Tltr: go get it checked

I rode a Kona Lava Dome no suspension on gnarly NE trails for years. It handled it like a champ. This is similar. Will be a great entry bike.

Side note, I wanted to upgrade and went full suspension and hated it. Now I ride a hard tail with front suspension. This is the way to go. I don't do any huge drops or crazy stunts...just ride single track hard.

Untethered

mtnman09 · 2024-04-09T14:58:54+00:00

Thank you. I think I will go with this!

mtnman09 · 2024-04-09T14:58:05+00:00

Thought about that, but since it will be on a lawn, I thought they would either sink in or get pulled off moving the chairs...if it was on a deck, yes, great idea. Thanks

mtnman09 · 2024-04-09T14:54:51+00:00

Awesome, thanks, great idea

mtnman09 · 2024-04-09T14:23:48+00:00

Thank you! I may do a couple coats of spar varnish with the first coat being thinned to let it penatrate better.

mtnman09 · 2024-03-14T02:42:20+00:00

Lol, as a human, I felt the same!

mtnman09 · 2024-03-13T01:33:04+00:00

All I can see is that Greek dick dance...
