North Vancouver is pricey, jes?
But how sweet would that be to ride directly back to your house after a trip up the mountain.
Ooooo....Just got my first solar power bill. 2 months worth of Solar for 154.33. Colorado Springs utilities credit for 169.14. 
They paid you to use power?!Ooooo....Just got my first solar power bill. 2 months worth of Solar for 154.33. Colorado Springs utilities credit for 169.14.
Well, I wouldn't exactly say I got "paid", but I did save almost 15 dollars by using renewable energy vs. coal fired power plant down town.
correct. a.) i should be drinking g&t and b.) i should be in the mountains
@stoney and @Westy today is the first day I've ever heard of a guibo, First thing that came to mind was this;
I just spent the last few hours dicking around with my bike, installing some new rotors, pads and bleeding the brakes. Why does bleeding brakes always take twice as long as it should? Oh yeah, maybe its because I own Elixirs and the back brake went straight to the bar and felt like a donkeysponge after the first bleed. It feels marginally better after a 2nd attempt. Just going to roll with it as-is. Its not horrible, but it feels a little spongy and the lever doesn't rebound that fast. The pad contact thingy has a little wiggle in it, I'm guessing that the lever is fubar'd.
That front brake though, god damn what a perfect bleed.

I only know of such things from my obsession with old European sports cars. They were used in the half shafts for old independent rear suspension before CV joints became popular.
However something very similar is used regularly as servo motor couplings in industrial applications. Designed to be torsionaly stiff while allowing for slight errors in alignment.
Yes, it's been unseasonably warm in the high 60s versus a norm of the low 50s for the daily high. This all ends Tuesday... we'll see.
Hour and a half trail ride. Super sunny, 60°, beautiful fall leaves, drifts, perfection. Post ride beer, then nap. Woke up, made Mexican, now more beer.
Getting closer to finishing a nightmare piece that has been giving me fits. Will be so glad to have this thing done. Other orders are piling up and the phone is starting to ring.
I need a helper monkey that can run an acetylene torch.
Sadly, no bikies today.

Tried to stuff a Pork Loin with apples and corn bread and then grilling it. Toothpicks burned up and failed as a retention aid. Apples fell into the charcoal and cooled the fire down enough to stall cooking. 3 shots of moonshine got the fire hot again. Looking at the empty jars says I have already failed. New knife is really fucking sharp.
just finished putting together my new small stream dry fly set up. 8' moderate action 5wt rod, weight Fwd floating line, braided dacon backing. I hope to take it out on a stream next weekend (have to work this weekend)
It works better if you partake in the moonshine too.
Nah. You're wrong about that, And so was my friend Janice about season salt on corn on the Cobb...
I hope you grilled the corn in the husk
