    Minimal Ingredient Awesome Food Ideas

    You can control the amount of Gluten when you make the bread yourself. The Ice Cream is so savory rich you can't eat more than two scoops. I stopped using a coffee pot to brew about 7 years ago. I got an Aero-Press for camping coffee. It makes better coffee than anything I've tasted, yes...

    Minimal Ingredient Awesome Food Ideas

    I've been living on homemade Ice Cream and coffee the past year. I put a scoop in my coffee each morning. I can essentially skip breakfast and go to 1-2pm before I need lunch. Cheese, no prep needed. Just open it up and eat it :) Bread. I got a bread machine for my birthday(37 years)...

    Pipe in surf for Surfing?

    Watching the video that's 3-4 foot surf. You don't need a pipe to do any of those tricks(Slash, re-entry, and stabs). A stock 550 can do all that. A low end light switch pipe in the surf sounds awful. You need to be able to chase down waves and run the troughs. Surf is about control and...

    Adding Fuel Filter?

    SXRs have fuel filters on the tank pickups. Keeps most of the crap from ever getting in the lines. No water separator or other nonsense they put in the 90s skis. That being said, I found a dog hair and few pieces of sand in my carb filters after only checking them once in 1200 hours of runtime.

    GT and Haro Vintage BMX

    Around 1995(5th grade) my friend found a BMX frame from the early 80s in the GARBAGE. I can't remember the name of it, but my older neighbor, who was in high school at the time, traded us his ENTIRE garage full of bike parts and frames. We had all kinds of Dyno and GT frames that had been...

    Electric Skateboard - Childhood Dream

    I have taken the skateboard down well packed gravel driveways without issue. There is a guy making off road wheels for these, but he only makes a few batches a year. That is the one con of the skateboard, off-road. I like that I can control the speed/brake with my hand, not leaning. Leaning...

    Electric Skateboard - Childhood Dream

    This past June I purchased an Electric Skateboard after watching many reviews of different brands. I settled with the MEEPO Mini v2. I couldn't justify the long range version, and $399 delivered is a deal! I grew up skateboarding from age 13-19. I never put a lot of effort into tricks...

    SXR With No Mid Range Throttle

    I found running my Wet Pipe cold, was the best. Running it on the edge of boiling water, all the power was at the top end. I can't remember my exact settings, but I think I have the mid open 1/4-1/2 turn and the bottom open a good 1/2-3/4 turn. It's 95 air and 85 water here, and I still don't...

    Career out of High school

    Overtime is cool but personal time is worth so much more! I was making 25k+ in overtime for 3-5 years, on top of my salary pay. I finally got away from it as my salary increased and, I wanted more free time. I'm now 37 and work about four 8 hour days a week(take lots of Fridays off!) and have...

    Back in the game! 94 FX1

    Met a guy at the bar last year, who had an FX1. I told him if you sell it let me know and don't let it go for less than 2k..... He sold it to some guy for $1400, who turned around put it up for sale at $3500. Enjoy it!

    Piston coatings

    Mercury Marine started using Nikasil on their outboards in the 80s. They then came up with Mercasil, which was not quite as good. I'm not sure what you're saying about water. Steel sleeves hate water too.... My 91 25hp Mercury still has 110+ psi in each hole. Nikasil motor with 1000s of...
