Anyone here build a bike from scratch with online parts? There are some pretty cheap whole bikes with decent reviews, but with a couple flaky parts. Maybe just upgrade those parts? Seems like anywhere wants around $600+ for a decent bike. I just want a steel frame, single speed that fits and rides well.
@atyh Nice! We've been wanting to do a "corn boil", which is like a cookout with mostly corn. A lot of folks use mayo(instead of butter) with chili powder. Need to find a supplier for a couple hundred ears...
@mary and I have been getting into the Hamish Macbeth series.
@atyh How are they?
Was reading an article about hail and how a child was recently killed by a hailstone.

Revelations describes a coming hailstorm with stones over 100 lbs! I can’t think of many structures that could survive such an event.

My little garden has had a hard season. It has gone through: snow, days of pouring rain, hail, wind, heat, moles,ants,moths and tiny black bugs!
I muscled my way through some pretty beat up thick skinned vegetables. The insides are sweet soft tender goodness that will nourish my husband and I through the winter.
I think we Christians probably look a lot like this little kohlrabi with it's tough skin from our enemy constantly hitting us with everything bad...BUT!! God will provide,protect and use us to complete His good will.
So, let us keep our attitude looking for the good in all things and ppl. Let's march on in the strength of Jesus Christ our Savior.
I continue to pray for all you beautiful DD ppl!! My family - my forever friends!
@atyh I thought about bringing it up at the farmers market, but was reluctant.
This is an interesting/well done documentary about interactive fiction(AKA text based games). It's given me some things to think about for sure.

@ifixcoinops I recently learned that a whole bunch - hundreds to maybe thousands - of those "wooden castle" playgrounds from the 70s were the work of (mostly) one guy, Bob Leathers. He'd travel to different cities, spend a bit of time "consulting" with kids to figure out what they wanted in a playground, then in a four day blitz of community volunteer labor and donated materials they'd build a playground from scratch. His work is all over the US and Gen X / elder Millennials probably played on one of his creations. Each one was a real community effort and personalized to the kids' wishes.
As they had an estimated 25 year lifespan, many have been bulldozed and replaced with bright metal painted safer equipment. Some still remain in active use though, or have gotten a refurb by the community!

@mrman That was was my reasoning behind getting my first 9mm years ago. Much cheaper to shoot and practice.
Back in 1909 two trains collided head-on near the Air Force Academy.

@mary patched one of our old leather chairs. If you know, you know.
@DotardTed Let's be honest, that's a fight you can't win. Either you hurt grandpa and you're a monster or you get beaten by him and you're a wuss. Exactly the kind of move I'll make if I make it to 86.😎
@Russ Didn't you pull the rebar out of this guy's skull like King Arthur and Excalibur?
