I have a few long handle tools I need to truck in to a work zone - a few different ones actually. Access is pretty easy, pretty much mellow flash fireroads almost the whole way.

The part I'm not sure about is how to attach these tools to the bike in a way that is safe, not going to fall off, not going to scrape the frame, not going to get caught up in the bike. And also not fall off while I'm riding. It is definitely too far to ride one handed, holding the tools in my hand.

If I have do to them one at a time, thats fine I can make that work.
Any advice/pics?

This would be going on my regular carbon trail bike.

They sure are making those lanes awfully narrow! Are they still going to have parking on both sides of the road? If so, you're barely going to be able to fit two lanes driving down the street.

Its nice we have money to make wide sidewalks even wider but we can't have a freshly paved main street or maple street FOR TWENTY YEARS.

There is currently a bus stuck in the entrance of the parking lot to the Hilton at Montvale & 93. Looks like a tour bus style bus tried to drive up the driveway and it was too steep and it lifted the back wheels off the ground. Ooops :D

This is great, match really is doing their best to kill this site huh.

So after a break for a few years, I am so sick of how crappy Hinge is, and I miss the old okcupid days, so I signed back up.

So I'm browsing, come across a girl I'm interested in. So I write her a message. As I'm hitting send, the name on the message box doesn't match the name on the profile. Weird. So I clicked 'like' on the profile I was looking at, just in case. Then I go back to view "my likes" and I see my message, having been sent to some girl I've never seen before. My message was all specific references to things the OTHER girl said in her profile.

What a fucking shitshow of a website.

I pedaled all the way to the end the other day and it looks like they are doing major construction, but I can't tell what. I can't imagine they are extending the rail trail, since it merges with very active rail just past that last bridge after the end of the trail. Are they just building an access point down the hill there? Or maybe construction not actually related to the bike trail?

I installed PHP via macports. It installed it as /opt/local/bin/php85

But it didn't make an aliast to /opt/local/bin/php which if course is a problem, I don't want to have to upgrade all of my scripts every time I update my PHP. Is there some way to make it do this automatically?

Servicing my Fox 36 and when I took off the 15mm lower nut, it appears the crush washer is stuck up in the back side of that nut. NOT stuck to the lower itself like what seems to be most peoples problems with stuck crush washers. I think I can get it to rotate if I push it with a razor blade but theres no clearance to actually pry it out. Any ideas?

From about 2004 till 2016, I daily drove 5 different manuals. They were all sports cars, so of course they were fun to drive. Then I got a Chevy Trailblazer. Big V8 engine, 4 speed automatic. I still have it. Its been a great, SUPER practical, SUPER reliable vehicle. But every day, from day one, I missed driving a manual.

I don't want to go back to having 2 vehicles. I don't have the time or the money to deal with that right now. And I do need an SUV, I have small trailers I need to tow and lots of objects to move around. Its gotta be an SUV.

I really want a toyota 4runner, but they are automatic only. But otherwise, they are probably the ideal vehicle for me right now.

Wranglers, on the other hand, are well known for being garbage. I've driven a few (none lately) and can confirm their reputation for driving like shit is well earned. But I REALLY want a manual again. Is it worth driving a wrangler every day, to get to drive a stick again?

I am aware there is one other stick SUV option, the ford bronco. AND it does have independent front suspension, so in theory it drives a little better. But it looks even worse. And its not like broncos have this amazing reputation compared to jeeps.

So I could try to get a few-years-old 4 door manual wrangler, drive it for a few years, then try to get a nice new or new-ish 4Runner.

Or is it not worth the hassle, and should I just get the 4Runner and accept that I'll never own another manual again, most likely.

Of course toyota could solve my dilemma by putting the tacoma's manual in the 4runner.
Also as usual, GM is putting out rumors that they are again working on a jeep-like SUV. But until they release it, I won't believe them. I'm not sure what to do. I look for the right used wrangler every once in a while but I never find one that looks right for me, at a price that doesn't make me laugh.

Has anyone tried this? Apple releases small updates to iMovie all the time but its always just to support some oddball iMovie iOS feature when you migrate it to iMovie macOS. I never use any of these features. But I do have some older machines that I would like to work on my projects on sometimes. But iMovie can never open a newer library, only an older one. But I'm wondering if I just edit this plist file in the bundle, can I trick it in to opening a 'newer' library file that is going to ultimately be the same anyway?

It would be great if iMovie wasn't so hyper-picky about what versions you can open. Sorry I can't afford to upgrade every computer I own to a brand new machine that can all run the same OS and same exact iMovie version :/

And yes, i CAN just try it myself. And I'm going to when I have some time. But in the meantime, I'm wondering if anyone else has done it?

For the second time this year, I made a sale on ebay. And I got NO notification email telling me!

The first time this happened, I didn't find out until 10 days after the sale, when I happened to log in to the site to look at something.

This time, it was only 1 day later because I was going to post a new item and saw I had sold two small items.

Last time, I had to go in to settings to see that the check box for sending emails when an item sells had unchecked itself. I checked it but apparently it didn't stick. This is truly an insane situation where they don't tell you you sold an item!

I'm not a high volume seller, I post my old stuff and much of it stays on there for years until someone snags it. I do not regularly check ebay at all. I've been selling on ebay since the 90s, this new secret sale thing is.... new. And nuts.

Anyone else notice this this summer? When you try scrolling maps on the website by dragging them with the cursor, they'll often "click" miles away. The momentum of moving the map is all messed up. Am I the only one whos had this problem? Its so annoying when I'm trying to look at my rides.

These cameras are on a main road but in a 100% residential neighborhood, pointing directly at peoples houses. I can't tell if they are actually built in people's yards or on the right of way of the road that just looks like peoples yards. But thats crazy to put cameras right there like that.

https://maps.deflock.org/?lat=42.4810&lng=-71.1329&zoom=17.74

Two more cameras just popped up at the corner of Montvale Ave and Nashua/Wood St.

I feel so "safe" going that we are all being tracked everywhere we go at all times without permission. This is getting insane.

The people who live at those houses must really love it, they have the police camera pointing right at their house 24 hours a day.

Googl street view data is old so I can't see the signage. There are different lots around that station, i'm not sure if they are free, or paid, or free during certain times? Are the lots 24 hours? I know one of the lots often has local business vehicles parked in it all night, do they have special permits or do they just park there?

I'm going to take the CR up to lowell and back and I haven't taken the CR in about 35 years, so I have no idea how the parking works.
