I just meant that I seem to have reached an age, after a very physically active and somewhat adventurous (not all sensible activities) life, where my physical ailments continue to pile one upon another in an ever growing list of problems that might need to be fixed surgically. Meant as a morbid...

At an age, now, when emergency surgery is always on the horizon.

Again----Money. More important stuff out there. If one can give up relatively small conveniences for a simpler, cleaner, lifestyle. Why wouldn't you? Why choose to hoard $$$? If you can afford a large RV and are retired or still working, you can probably live quite comfortably without trying not...

Not only do I have enough solar to charge a Tesla and continue to run my home, I'm considering adding another kilowatt to run a well pump I'm installing, and for, as yet, unforeseen electric additions to my life. Not everyone is focused on "the bottom line"; yes, my system will take (at today's...

    My fatbike will cruise over anything, rocks, gravel, sand, soft tall grass, mud, snow, sticks, etc.. I can run 5 psi in the tires for the soft stuff requiring grip. At 10 psi, these tires are very stable on the streets; small patches of dirt, sand, gravel, etc. are no issue. The disc...

    To the  posters that haven't driven a quality electric car, I have to disagree with some of your assumptions. I own and daily drive a Nissan Leaf; 2 years, no problems, good and comfortable ride, no worse a ride than my "all, the bells and whistles" Jeep Grand Cherokee. Instant torque to...

One of the best moments on my Radrover yet, came on a day when, in succession, I came up from behind on a group of 4 preteens riding expensive off road "x" bikes and passed them with ease while pedaling (can't really hear the motor) and the looks I got from them;  followed a few minutes later as...

Rickiani;     I've got an electric fat bike too, Radrover---I believe the same as yours. In the highest assist mode, it effectively becomes a motorcycle.

Just an aside here, not trying to develop a thread drift. Dearmissmermaid, I see you still have your electric conversion on your bike. Thanks to you and your first post re: that, I bought one and have been thankful ever since. I now run errands on the bike that I would never thought I'd do...

to continue with Steven Wright: 36.  I came home one night to find that I'd been robbed and everything I owned had been replaced with an exact replica. 37.  Returning home drunk one night, I accidentally used my car keys to open my house; it started right up so I took it for a drive, parking...

I've discovered, with my Leaf, that with very conservative driving, I'm able to get over 110 miles before a recharge is necessary. Of course, everyone in the lane behind me is p----d  off. If I coast to a stop, gradually accelerate from the stop, and never drive above 40 mph, avoiding streets...

Might try a sailmaker if money isn't a consideration

I've wanted one for almost 10 years now since Musk came out with his roadster. The model S is on of the best vehicles I've ever driven! With it's new batteries and the widening network of free charging stations across the USA, it's actually practical now.     Still can't afford one, though, so...

I've got a poster hanging in my office showing a man with a "ripped" or chiseled body, holding a dumbbell in a gym whose face belies his age (seventy something). The quote at the bottom says "getting old ain't for wimps".

been playing the ocarina on and off for over 30 years now; when I was first introduced to the instrument. it was called a "sweet potato'.
