Bill, does your E trike have any suspension?
that is only issue with mine, pretty stiff
sure beats walking...

I wanted one for my rv but they have a big footprint to manage
the bigger seat helps. Mine had promo where all those extras were thrown in free so
don't hesitate to ask

The only suspension in this one is the air in the tires. I have already asked about perks. The only other ones I have looked at and am interested in wont arrive until October.
I think amazon is advertising 'foldable' e-trikes. I didn't look at them because of the roads I would have to travel on and I think their weak areas are where they fold.

Good Morning,
Ct, 67 to start going to 90 or so ! A bit less humidity, with more rain coming in later this week ! I just mowed the grass this past Friday but looking ahead for the week it looks like a lot more rain, so I’m thinking I will mow again today or tomorrow!

Scott, too bad the weather didn't cooperate with the concert. At least you were inside. Reschedule again?
Ted, no chance of a rescheduled concert because most of the bands are booked for the entire summer ! We have 2 concerts left and they are both good bands, so if the weather cooperates we can make some money there !

I do feel that this thread should remain under Rural Living, a perfect example is Frits discussing his repair on his mower or David’s issues with his tractor and mower ! A lot of the stuff that we do is because we can do it ourselves and also sharing with others ! JMO !

In any event I’m happy to be a member of this community!

Hope all have a blessed start to there week! 🙏

This brochure lists the drive chain as #80 high tensile, maybe gets you a little closer, good luck.

That should be all you need to know, verified by measuring the old chain for width and pitch. A power transmission or bearing and drive supplier should have it in stock along with master and half links if they are required. Almost certainly cheaper than an OEM replacement, and likely better.

GM is a place for
nice people to get along. Perhaps a kind of tractor Cheers bar.
Exactly.
But that is how it evolved.
There was a time when Friendly Politics was a kind of Tractor Cheers bar, but it descended into a cesspool of politics, and started bleeding over to the rest of TBN. Thankfully it was eliminated.
I'm a relative newcomer here compared to many, yet I've seen several thread topics banned and discussion shut down because opponents denied them and probably still do.
Couldn't talk about climate change for a while.
Couldn't talk about Covid 19 for a while.
For a while Front Porch was a "relatively" loose forum.

Now, when I asked :
Is there a list of where it is permissible to inject politics into a thread?
Because it seems some posters put politics into almost every thread.
the response from Muhammad:
It's allowed in one thread and one thread only: https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/threads/you-might-love-this-idea-you-might-hate-it.476927/


All other instances will get deleted.
Which to me is great if enforced in a fair manner.

But, as of last check, the thread listed had not been mentioned in Forum Guidelines until I asked.

Until the recent forum brouhaha over "likes," I had no idea my post about Big Boy Locomotive generated 20 likes. Or such things are even ranked or scored like that. I went looking-- did find that part of the forum-- thank you to all.

It was a nice reminder of how lucky I was to see an icon of American engineering and determination. I'd drive a very long ways to see it again. And probably will!

Heading to CA today where it will be 90 degrees. Not bad. Will stay a week, as friends have children belong to FFA who raise animals and compete at a local County fair. Should be interesting, as always.

Everyone have a great day !!!

Good Morning
72° and sunny, high of 90 and no rain for today. We did get over an inch of rain in the last three days, enough to change the landscape back to a green tint from the brown it had become.

Been very hot and humid for working in the old folks home, still plugging away.

There is a million small tasks that need to be done before the foam gets sprayed this week. I’m running HDMI cables and speaker cables, remote temperature sensor cables for thermostats, dryer vent, fabricated the door for the attic access, ran a wire for a land line phone, doorbell camera, the list is long.

Here are some pictures of the heat pump install and ductwork. Went to a lot of trouble to avoid duct board and flex. Used mastic instead of tape to seal joints.

It would be tough to find a contractor to do things the way I wanted them done. I suspect that Frits has the same problem.

I’ll see what I can get done before it gets too hot, then we need to make a Costco run.

Hi all, 75 going to 94 and sunny-
Got back into town last night.

Bad weather and the pilot told us we were going to Dulles instead of Newark if a window did not open for landing in 15 minutes.
Got our opening, and landed at Newark! first time in a while I was happy to go to North Jersey :)

Lots to catch up on, you've all been amazingly busy.
Will detail trip over the coming days.

I did pass by many of the TBN California peoples towns on the trip, too bad we had no time to veer from the schedule of college tours, sight seeing, visiting relatives.
And of course many, many hours of driving.

Be well,
