Mail man stop by yesterday told us new policy,if package doesn't fit in our mailbox post office route driver will not deliver to our door step,either we by BIGGER mailbox or rent mailbox at post office.

Is that a nationwide policy?
I'd ask for something in writing.

Mail lady brings packages to my door all the time, it might be because I’m so cute!

Good luck with that thought.
I am not cute and delivery of packages is alway to the door.

Maybe we resolve with a Thomas vs. Randy Beauty Contest?

Or get a Cat Eye Vectra CC-7000, oh wait they don't make the vintage odometer anymore.

It also helps to start off down hill. Going up hill I'm also at 8mph.

No bike today, may spin later, just got back from moms and already 101˚ and rising quickly.

I did not mention that uphill was 4 mph. I have a odometer that shows mph and distance. The miles seem long. Roads are square miles here.

I agree with ronjhall about Eternabond tape. I just replaced the roof vents on my camper a few day's ago. It rained a few minutes ago and I went out to look and there wasn't any leaks that I could see. All the reviews I've read gave it 4 or 5 stars. It's kind of expensive but it looks like it will work, it will be worth it.

I was thinking if I had bigger hummingbird feeders I wouldn't have to fill them 3 times a day.
They are fun to watch.

Farmer, sounds like a really nice truck. Probably last nearly forever.

I just bought a roll of Eternabond tape 2 weeks ago...haven't used it yet, but glad to hear your positive comments.

I had the air compressor out this afternoon and all the talk of bikes led me to fill up the 25 year old tires on my old 10-speed...oiled the chain and pulled it back onto the sprocket, and decided to take it for a spin. Felt good, so rode it for 12. A thunderstorm threatened so I rushed back...fortunately it only blew cool swift wind here, on its way up to riptides. Oh yeah, the 12 I rode were laps around the driveway. Now if I could put a suspension seat on the bike like the ZTR I could really get back into it.

Our mail people (we have both men and women on our route) will bring packages to the door when they don't fit the box, also. I guess I always thought they had to.

Does you bike odometer show one mile on those one mile roads?
You might need to adjust the odometer according to the wheel circumference in cm. Or inches. When I exchanged batteries mine went to the default of 216 which had to be adjusted to 210 according to the rider on bike revolution measurement of one wheel revolution measured in cm. (Sounds confusing - I hope i got it right, might have to have my wife drive behind me in the car to verify if the speed is accurate.)

The mail lady still drops off big packages at the front door last week, and when I talked to her she said nothing about changes.

Mom decided she needs a fall detector/call button. She has a non-smart phone and a landline. Any suggestions?

Best repair for RV roof is Dicor & Eternabond tape. Never use silicone unless nothing else is available.

Thanks. I just used what i had before it rained again.
Dicor makes multiple products, which one?
