  1. Again, that won't interfere with their use.
  2. Are "bar end guards" supposed to mean hand guards? The ones that completely cover the hands and have two-point attachments? Because I don't care if you bar end guards are 2' long, the Canyon Dancer will fit. And if you have single-point guards that go on the bar end, they probably work if you remove the plastic part.
  3. So this is like that escrow thing that used to be popular for large eBay sales in the 90s and early 2000s? They hold the cash and check the product, then complete the transfer? Was that fee included in those fees above? I hadn't heard of this being a thing lately, but it may solve a problem. I've still got a bunch of my mom's jewelry that was once worth something, and now seems worthless according to the online buyer/reseller companies. And it's so hard to authenticate and all, though I do have certificates for some. It's all in a pile, nobody has sentimental attachment (other than the primary items like wedding rings). Like, how did you get started with listing an item that needs this service?
  4. Then you probably have the wrong setup. It cost me $30 or $35, not worth shopping, and a total no-brainer. The Triumph/Zero dealer said it's the only thing they use and recommend.
  5. Well, some money is better than no money? I find eBay easy and safe, which is why they are in business. If I had to sell on FB I'd put the stuff in the trash instead. CL is ok for some things, a disaster for other things. So yeah, I guess we answered why they can charge a lot.
  6. It has way more bullshit than you need. All you need is one Canyon Dancer and two straps. *Maybe* a light duty third simply to keep the back from bouncing, but not actually tight.
  7. Or the sauce maybe? Burgers with a crisp crust from the cast iron are a fun variation, but you have to choose the animal I guess. LOL, also I never remember to turn the hood fan on, no idea why. Just never remember until it's past offensive, or not at all.
  8. Dude it's become pretty fucked, to where trade-ins make more sense on some high end stuff.
  9. Even when you don't get the perfect answer here, you get clues. Dave's recommendation led to a few other similarly-named options that fit the nutrition I've decided on for myself. Then I thought of just messaging my PCP. His nurse-nutritionist says she eats this regularly: https://www.hodofoods.com/product-details/egg-scramble She had also suggested that I test and chart blood sugar if I have a fruit, nut, and granola granola bowl. Unfortunately while I could eat these all day, it spikes blood sugar and then even worse, holds it for hours. A short spike of 137 would be slightly high but not bad.
  10. LOL, and then this just hit my inbox... https://nutritionfacts.org/blog/skip-breakfast-to-lose-weight/?utm_source=NutritionFacts.org&utm_campaign=d2b2274b31-RSS_BLOG_DAILY&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_40f9e497d1-d2b2274b31-28710906&mc_cid=d2b2274b31 Skip Breakfast to Lose Weight? Written By Michael Greger M.D. FACLM • April 2, 2024 But I'm not trying to lose more weight. It's always been pretty obvious that you should skip it for weight loss, and why I'm trying to change.
  11. So in the end, @DaveK gave me the answer indirectly. I had seen this in the past and forgotten it. Basically instant (sautée for a few minutes). Real food with minimal processing, not great but not terrible on sodium, no animal fats, etc, very high protein, bit of fiber. Along with those protein pancakes this covers a few days of variety, now to consider one or two more. I think those drinkable things will be another. https://www.nasoya.com/products/breakfast-scramble/
  12. It a great idea, apples are medium carbs but low glycemic for fruit. I should try. I like them a lot. And I have the tool. I like oats/groats. But they spike my blood glucose like I injected sugar, I crash in an hour, and I'm starving in two hours. Even when I was doing 50% buckwheat. This actually reminded me that there's an option at a couple of local stores for one that may be both nutritionally sound, and easy, and also tasty. Just have to go re-find it. And you made me realize that I could easily pre-make something to go into freezer bags for ease of use. I've made the decision to limit my egg intake, but there are a few options.
  13. I didn't. I specifically said that I made a mistake in not specifying what *I* will eat. I didn't advise you to change anything.
  14. I guess I should have added that I'm not going to eat bacon/sausage/cheese or that amount of salt. But now I wonder if there's something like that with a decent nutritional profile. Easy is probably not a factor for me, being light and the health profile are top factors. I have time and ability to cook since I'm working a few feet away from the kitchen. Maybe I make something up to freeze or whatever.
  15. I probably should make myself get some early nutrition. As my weight and habits have changed I find it harder to get sufficient daily calories and overall nutrition, also for the first time I'm getting slightly hungry around mid morning, say 10:30. I could just make lunch, but am also trying to coordinate feeding Moriah too, and she's more of a noon eater. I've never wanted food early in the day and it's irrationally unpleasant to me. Also, traditional carb-based breakfast foods have too much glycemic impact (oats, etc), and something like eggs and toast feel a bit heavy for my taste. I've tried some non-dairy protein shake options...meh...but considering it again. I guess it doesn't matter if I like the taste it's just a necessity. A lot of people on nutrition/diabetic forums recommend Orgain pre-made meal drinks. I may give that a shot. It's 9:30 and the idea of eating anything repulses me for no rational reason I can figure out, but at the same time I feel like it would be good for me. Also the difficulty in eating sufficiently later is related to the blood sugar drugs; they make it hard to eat a large meal.
  16. I attached the steering damper on my head with red loctite at 287nm. If the bolt size and grade were answered, it would be easy to look up the normal torque range for that fastener as a backup check/sanity check.
  17. Can't wait to see the post about it falling off. Did you at least add Loctite? What size is the bolt? What reason do you have to believe you are a mechanical and materials science engineer?
  18. LOL. So never, ever cook buffalo inside the house. I ran out of grill pellets so I made a left over burger on the cast iron griddle. The house smells like a sweaty buffalo ballsack.
  19. A friend shot a buffalo and shared. I mixed it with a bit of garlic and some of Dion's home-made Worcestershire sauce that he sent me a while back. It's aging well. Moriah is allergic to beef so buffalo or Beyond burger are her only options. She loves this buffalo. Roasted potatoes with South American sazón and home made Peruvian mayocaba beans with a bit of maple and brown sugar.
  20. There is an issue with posting certain formatted text that I have not been able to track down. If you paste your test as unformatted, it will post. You're probably copying from another site or from a complex text editor like Word?
  21. Not sure what you mean, it just is. However, last night I found out that he had no clue how to properly measure BP. He wasn't doing any of the right steps. Sit down, feet flat, rest at least five minutes, test, and then test again a few minutes later. He'd walk up to one of his bar stools with legs dangling (crushes leg arteries) or do it right after being outside/walking around. WTF. So we have no idea what's right. At the doctor he was "only" 150/75. He had been doing well on weight and diet until his obese, junk food making sister moved in and went back to eating junk. So he's going to work on that again. Also I've talked about him before, his knees are always in pain when he's eating junk, and limit his abilities, but he's fine if he eats well.
  22. Interesting variations. You had a crazy low one, do you think it was measurement error? I've been reading more about BP lately as my systolic has dropped a lot, probably from both better diet and lost weight. But diastolic went up a little. It looks like this is actually good. On Wednesday I found out a good friend is at 160/75 which is probably really terrible. The low diastolic with high systolic seems to correlate with more events.
  23. It's not too large to ship, and USPS economy ground wouldn't even be very expensive. Finding a local XX owner who needs bags is probably one in a million. You can probably just pack all that inside the top box and put that in a large box, for under $40 to ship. I ship a lot of oversize stuff.
