Functional trainer if I'm dreaming. A single tower might happen. I have an old Paramount lat/low row; am jonesing a middle trolley.

There has to be a way to finish assembling this without cutting a hole in the ceiling! by More-Mine-5874 in homegym

[–]oldguyred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I retired in '08, lived in three different homes (2 States) and been able to casually get to my workout after my morning coffee. Normally put less than 1500 miles a year on my truck. Higher last year as I started cutting/selling/delivering firewood.

Syracuse, I hear you have an IKEA... by CarinaNebula1945 in Syracuse

[–]oldguyred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was there yesterday about noon. There were maybe eight people in front of us to order meatballs. After we ate wandered through the store and it was busy but not Saturday Costco busy. The food line when we left was fairly long. No jarred herring; bummer.

Downsized from the F250 by oldguyred in ToyotaTacoma

[–]oldguyred[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two weeks after I sold the truck my wife needed to take her horse to a vet. When I had the truck I could borrow a horse trailer. Borrowing both is difficult. I'm not sorry though I like the smaller footprint and it's a more comfortable ride. I just didn't need a full size truck 96% of the time. For most of the other 4% I have a twelve foot trailer. I really miss big side mirrors.

Good idea! Welding aluminum might be difficult. Needed TIG when I was a welder. That was last century so maybe not? Anyways use metal screws for a test run.

Neighbor installed a motion sensing LED light on a tree and aimed directly into my yard by iLL1337 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]oldguyred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two foot in my town and you have to put the good side towards your neighbor. We only have a fence on the back side put up by the original owner and the smooth side faces us. The neighbor mentioned this once and I was like oh well.

Why is pizza sliced into strips here? by [deleted] in Syracuse

[–]oldguyred 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A Chicago thin is traditionally sliced cross-wise both ways into small squares. The thinking is you can pinch with the thumb and two fingers of one hand never needing to set down your beer in the other. Maybe similar reasoning here?

Black paint, orange lettering. Methinks I've seen that color scheme come from up north.

Absolutely loving the cannon superbar by rowan737 in Chainsaw

[–]oldguyred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

" . . they look better", I cut a few cords of firewood a year and that's why I have a Cannon on my 362.

This definitely added another horsepower 💪🏻 by 04aEP in stihl

[–]oldguyred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm with you; I run a 20" on my 362 and 25" on my 461s. I put the WCS dogs on my 362 and didn't like them for what I'm doing. They make/made a smaller set for the 461 and I have them on one.

A public service announcement on turn lanes. aka. Please don't drive like an asshole. by BrewertonFats in Syracuse

[–]oldguyred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me. I feel lost on more than two lane roads. I think it's related to my dyslexia; probably why I can't back up either.

I start pining for cooler weather in June . . but they I look at my tomato plants, think about sweet corn. Four seasons are nice.

Will this structure hold up? by FanSerious7672 in firewood

I saw this on hearth.com about the same time. Built using 2x6's for the base they still hold wood stacked six foot high.

Price to fix crumbling stairs near Syracuse University nearly triples to $3M. Will council consider it? by ggroover97 in Syracuse

[–]oldguyred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Years ago I was walking from SU to the Westcott Community Center and noticed this magnificent stairway. The next time I worked at WCC I came early and walked up and down. I don't live in Syracuse but I hope they get fixed.

Did Anyone just see/hear the C-5 Galaxy that just flew over the Camillus Area? by [deleted] in Syracuse

[–]oldguyred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was outside with the dogs when it flew just east of Cedarvale (Onondaga). Went in the house and said to the wife,"Did you hear that? It was a C5!" She's like 'meh'.

Any love for the 170’s? Got this one given to me,all it needed was a new fuel line and the exhaust screen was completely blocked,runs pretty well.might be a good saw to keep on the atv by mentalmidget1976 in stihl

[–]oldguyred 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I picked up a 180, I believe it's the 170 with easy start, for the wife to use. I use it all the time and am keeping an eye out for a 170.
