    How often do you tighten the chain while up a tree?

    I guess. I don't have a progressive gauge. The options are painstaking gauging of the rakers, and teeth are what they are, or try to keep the teeth halfway even with controlled filing. I'm thinking option 2 is most expedient if I can get my filing under control. Using an averaging gauge, I can...

    The Biking Thread

    Branded gas in general is almost a thing of the past. I think most people go to generic convenience stores now. Brand names are around, but not like they used to be. The best of my memory... Amoco Arco Citgo Crown Chevron Exxon BP Hess Shell Sunoco Phillip 66 Mobil Feel like I'm missing one...

    Esso branding was a bit before my time, but that slogan made it over to Exxon.

    Was that the Raleigh, or the Schwinn Stingray? The Stingray was a cool 3speed. A friend of mine had one.

    How often do you tighten the chain while up a tree?

    I get curves in my long bars sometimes. I think my problem is a heavier hand filing one side of the chain, so the teeth are consistently shorter on that side. It's something I've been working on correcting. I don't really notice til one day I'm thinking "Damn that chain's unbalanced". I'm trying...

    How'd it go today?

    Better than I can do. I particularly like the lowest "2".

    The Biking Thread

    That's more my speed. Or it was anyway before I quit biking. Everything got less fun when I went to a multispeed bike.

    Knäckebröd?

    Next up... Without pulling up translation, I'm gonna say blueberry and juniper. I only know this by reading it. It tastes like neither. It's just a bland cracker that has a certain chewiness. It's fine, but nothing to really recommend it. It's attractively packaged. The knäckebröd is...

    How often do you tighten the chain while up a tree?

    I've heard of it, and I was starting to get setup to swap chains, but I changed my mind. Too much hassle. Chain management has already become a problem. I don't need to add to it.

    Just curious, many Housers watching the Super Bowl?

    Took a bit of searching, but I think I found her. No idea. I'm pretty disconnected from pop culture.

    What Did Ya'll Have For Dinner Tonight?

    Sounds good to me! I just had a can of aldi German bean soup. Didn't even have to put attention into heating it up. Stuck the pot on top of the woodstove til it was hot enough.

    Maybe. I'd expect people to act with honor, but I get disappointed daily. Video would prove results. That's still hackable, but I think the effort would exceed the benefit for a dumb game.

    Is that useful for exercise or anything? I might pay $25 just to check it out, and if it provides exercise, all the better. I've gotten wrist problems in the later years. Might be some kind of arthritis, but I wouldn't mind grip exercises, especially if it gives feedback as to whether or not I'm...

    There aren't enough active members here, but it would be a fun contest to mail the dynamometer around, and see who has the strongest grip. Maybe pay in $20 for the contest. Half goes to the paying the machine, and half goes to the winner. Donate the machine to a clinic or something when it's...

    I looked up the dynamometer he mentioned, cause I'd consider buying one just to see. It's like $350. I don't care that much :^D

    What's the weather like in your neck of the woods?

    When I lived in the "city", we once got a ton of snow. I spent a couple hours(maybe. seemed like forever. Too long ago for an accurate time) digging my F100 1wheel drive turd out of it's spot. Girlfriend's Taurus drove right out. Barely any digging :^/
