I'd guess they made the trip a little quicker than I did on my mountain bike a few years back. And they started from farther away, too. Link to comment

Hosstage Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 A sound shield, a piece of cardboard or wood to deflect the sound would help too. Now I want to make one. The unfortunate part, I live where it is cold enough that the lake is frozen and it can be done. Winter sucks. Why? Why do I stay here? I've heard there are areas where people ride year round. Might have to look into that... Link to comment

Joe Frickin' Friday Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 If you do metalworking or woodworking, how prepared are you for a serious shop accident? A friend of mine mangled his finger several years ago, and it prompted me to buy a SawStop table saw for my own shop. But of course that doesn't mean catastrophes are completely out of the question for me. Stumpy Nubs has a pretty good video on shop preparedness, mostly centered around a well-thought-out first aid kid. If you work with your hands, I highly recommend watching this video and then thinking about how to make sure your own shop is prepared for a severe injury: Link to comment
Rougarou Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 That's too much safety, I've got some band aids and superglue, should hold me over. I didn't carry that much kit in combat. Link to comment
Hosstage Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I've got electrical tape and paper towels, good enough to slow down the gush to get me to the hospital. Probably. Of course I'm making light of it, but a little first aid prep is a good idea. Avoiding the injury in the first place is better! And for gods sake, wear your safety glasses! Link to comment

RandyShields Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 After having one of these newfangled zip line closures on a hip incision, I think they would be great for a first aid kit. There are some short ones for sale for that purpose, but they are pretty expensive -- $30+ range. As an alternative to stitches, they are really fast, easy and effective.

Skywagon Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Those helmets with chin strap look exactly like my first helmet bought at Sears ~1967 when Texas passed mandatory helmet law. I don’t remember it having any padding at all. I put a big bubble shield on it. I only wore it when I thought I might see a Leo. One time I had it strapped to back of bike and exhaust melted a bunch of it. That Gilera 106 was one goofy bike but it beat my Sears moped I had before Link to comment
realshelby Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 That "transceiver" is an Icom ic-201. A multi mode 2 meter amateur radio! Probably not what NASA types would use as it has CW, upper and lower sideband capability. The "throttle" is a floor mounted automatic transmission shifter. I know I have seen one like it, but cannot place the exact car model it was taken from. Link to comment

That space ship was built outta junkyard parts,.....Andy was a junk guy that wanted to salvage space junk and the moon junk, so he built a ship to get up there. I remember watching this show. The "capsule" was a cement mixer from a cement truck, they used fire extinguishers to propel them in space, as a kid, fascinating and completely unbelievable. 1 Link to comment

roadscholar Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 I moved this over from 'What Are You Listening To', should've put it here to begin with. Rick Beato does a series called What Makes This Song Great that's great in itself but this one helps explain why some musicians are better than others. Rick isn't bad either but his real strength lies in being able to break this stuff down into an informative explanation. 4 Link to comment
RogerC60 Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 I'd never heard of Rick Beato until about 6 months ago. Since then I've been watching a lot of his videos. You're right, he's great at breaking things down and explaining them. it's changing the way I listen to music. 1 Link to comment

Think I've posted it before but here is another one of my favorite groups, not Beato although Rick does a couple breakdowns of Steely Dan songs which are excellent. This one's pretty good too.. 1 Link to comment
