    Road conditions - north and eastern areas

    Oooh, that looks nice. I’ll have to head out that way now. I have to check out Arden Rd from Tamworth to Highway 7 too as that was repaved a while back according to another report so I can probably link those up. Edit: if you’re up that way you might also find this interesting for a...

    Where to get a puppy?

    My little girls back legs are going at times. We have a help-me-up harness on her which has been a lifesaver. Really weird as what’s happening to her seems random. When she gets up sometimes her legs just don’t work and she panics and cries and flops back down but after a few minutes she’s...

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    When we first moved into our house we needed a fence for the dog and needed to remove the existing ratty looking chain link fence. To save some cash the fence guy said if I removed the posts it would be a bit cheaper so he lent me a post jack. They were all set in concrete and this thing worked...

    Road conditions - north and eastern areas

    There’s a lot of cruiser riders on that forum….that could explain things. Glad it looks good, that’s a nice area to ride in so I'll head that way soon.

    Road conditions - north and eastern areas

    Lavant Rd at the 509 end has roadworks according to the Ride the Highlands forum. Haven’t seen them myself but the post mentions street bikes might have issues, ADV bikes would be fine. I guess that means deeper gravel.

    Soccer/football thread 2022

    Well, Slot is out. Wonder if Pep would take the job? On the other side of things, watching this champions league final and Arsenal have had one shot on goal in105 mins of normal time. What a dull, dull side.

    Tool Deals Thread

    12V technology has come a really long way. These tools are a lot different than ones from years ago and for many tasks around the home they are great. I prefer my 12V driver over my big 18V hammer drill as it’s just convenient and especially if using it in confined spaces or overhead. I got...

    I had a play with the tool before. It’s a solid little thing, not too bulky and seems to be made very well. Makes me want to go and buy a bunch of IKEA furniture.

    According to reviews, you can use the tool as a manual ratchet to break bolts loose then use the power function. Depends how tight they are though. Relax says the gears will slip if you apply too much force.

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    Powerfister seems even slightly worse than powerfist. Like some kind of Pornhub super hero.

    Yes it comes with the battery and charger and a socket adapter 1/4” maybe? It’s just for light duty use but for most things it’ll be fine especially my mountain bikes and shelves etc. Here’s the blurb…. The M12 Cordless 3/8" LITHIUM-ION Ratchet is the most compact and powerful ratchet in its...

    We Know you Ride, But do you Shoot?

    I approached things a different way but same outcome.. “That handgun is too heavy for me…” “Honey, I got a nice light polymer one for you”.

    Tool Deals Thread

    Mods. Maybe there’s enough interest to have a tools and consumables (oil etc) deal thread? Anyway, not a necessity but a nice tool to have and takes the place of a pneumatic ratchet for quite a few jobs aside from the biggest bolts/highest torques...

    Pay Day Loans

    I forgot to add one other thing. When you’re searching for credit relief issues and things like that it’s also not that uncommon to find other predatory companies that will encourage you to consolidate your multiple debts under their umbrella so that they now have access to the interest you...

    Pay Day Loans

    That’s kind of what I mean. In the UK there is the Citizens Advice Bureau which is a centralized agency that advises on any number of topics and those that aren’t internet savvy know it exists to use the phone with. It would be good to have something like that even if all they do is triage the...

    Pay Day Loans

    Yes but if you’re desperate with a low credit score there aren't too many options and knowing what you’ll pay for a given loan amount after x months/years does take a bit of skill if you’re not explicitly told. What we need is a kind of central advice system for people, especially the elderly...
