    That's why I keep one of these in both cars. I won't hook up my car to some POS if I can help it.

    Mr. Dave, here truck isn't worth getting that. She has a 2016 challenger. The truck is something in the low 2000. 2001(?).

    She does the drive a nice car but keeps an old truck thing. The battery in the truck is trash. The clamps are loose and covered in corrosion. Not by a little bit but by a big...The truck is a POS...

    The lady is an ok person. Skinny black lady that weighs about 90# with clothes. She wears these funky wigs...Ill leave that at that. She doesn't ask you things. She kinda tells you what she wants and doesn't leave you alone until you do. It's no wonder her boyfriend won't live with her. She's annoying.

    She expected that I pull one my autos up to jump start her junk. Her car is too pretty. Not anymore. It has jumper connections under the hood. If you want the truck running. Pull the dodge over there. That's the only way I'm getting involved.

    Changed the oil on the bike. Current mileage, 504. So that's an oil change at 200 and 500.

    Ill change it again around 800 then at around 1100-1200miles. If no break in shavings are seen at the 800 change. Ill go synthetic at 1100.

    Tested the hoist. Tried it out on a lawn mower first. No problems. Rode the bike to the backyard and lifted the rear tire just enough to where it could be removed. Repeated it three times. Everything held and nothing jiggy was going on. The bike wasn't going wild and was stable enough to where I won't hurt anything. Including myself.

    If it stays dry, a sprocket will find a new home very soon.

    First ever attempt at truing a spoke wheel

    Hours of your be videos and hacking away, I was able to get the runout to .025 inch.

    Spec is less than .020.

    Never could get that last .005.

    It's better now.
    But could be better still.

    Maybe ditch the tech and use a crayon? I would, of course , I only did bicycles , but it sure made it easy to see which spokes needed righty tighty and lefty loosey.
