    Recently purchased an e-bike for the first time. Absolutely loving it. Of course, I had to buy some things to go with it. A rear grocery basket, a phone bag, and a front basket for my girl. Oh, while I'm at it. Have you ever heard of STICK-SAFE? These are wraps I found on Amazon after countless hours searching for some way to strap a walking cane to a fat-mountain e-bike. I'll add photos. You can wrap the cane to lots of things! I think I will buy more for other things. Anyway, I've been stuck in home for a long time for medical reasons. This bike was long overdue. It's my birthday present and my Christmas present to myself and my pup. Trying to get some riding in before it gets much colder. The pup is in heaven!

    That's wonderful, Maggie. May you have many miles of safe riding. Post a bigger picture of Bella.

    A Washing Machine-Water Inlet Valve. A diy repair I tried for the first time. Yes, it worked! It's $20 cheaper on amazon than on all the parts repair shopping sites.

    I ordered a wheel chair for myself which will be delivered tomorrow. Now I have two horses--a walker and a wheel chair.

    I hope you will abide by the posted speed limits and not be doing wheelies or anything in the hallway. :D (I remember your thread about some speedy wheelchair drivers at your facility.)

    I could show you one of her and a bad hair day that will scare the hell out of you.

    Thank you, Von Jones. No, instead, she sticks her tongue out 24/7. She has held her tongue out a bit since she was born 9 years ago and still does today. Weird, huh? She's not my first small pup but I've never had a pup that did that before. Literally, she will just hold part of her tongue out for hours on end. Not thirsty, not panting, it's just the way she is. I've always found it odd and cute.

    Thank you John. I haven't done that in years. I have a hard time spending money on myself. I always found reasons the money could be better spent, however; this one, I don't regret. Not one bit. Now, I have to learn how to fix flat tires and such on a damn electric bike. More studying!

    Yay!!! I love wins like this.

    So what's the symptom of an outdoor faucet needing a new vacuum breaker? And how do you know that's what you need? I have couple of anti-siphon outdoor faucets that are over 10 years old, but have never had an issue with them (that I'm aware of.)
