Blower motors are rarely easy in most cars. It wasn’t great in my 71 BMW either. But I recently had the pleasure of replacing a battery in a 2017 BMW X1 and that simple task took me 6 hours. Maintenance on new cars is ridiculous.
I love this guy’s simple approach to happiness through anti consumerism. It’s definitely a goal for me.
This is a surprisingly decent light for the money. I have two. One in the tool bag for roadside repairs. I greatly prefer the clothespin type clip over a flat spring type for one handed operation and ease of attaching it to a flimsy cloth lapel or button down shirt. The only thing I count as a miss is the orientation of the clip. Operation requires squeezing the lens of the light which has a fresnel surface. If your hands are dirty as they often are in the field when making motorcycle repairs, you will dirty the lens which is difficult to clean.
Sometimes Amazon or garden supply websites. This year my local nursery had them in stock when the aphids showed up. I prefer to buy them locally when possible.
I’m in US zone 7b so we usually get a winter with snow and sub freezing temperatures December-March. Both aphids and ladybugs will die off during winter but leave eggs that remain and hatch in the spring. Each year I supplement the natural occurring ladybugs and usually release approximately 3000 when the aphids appear. That sounds like a lot but it’s only two small containers. I rely on the ladybugs for pest control and never use insecticides as I want a natural ecosystem to flourish. Most years it works out and my garden remains healthy. Right now the aphids are ravishing my beets and poppies. Fingers crossed the ladybugs will triumph and reign in the aphids before I lose too many plants.
Soon these ladybugs will lay eggs (during summer) and the resulting larva will do most of the work. The larva look like small six legged alligators and you can observe them picking up aphids and eating them. It’s fascinating to watch.
Very cool component rack and matching wall cabinet.

Conti TKC 70’s are great tires. Good choice! Enjoy.

Agree. MS arc works great after a little time getting used to it. I much prefer the flat shape for packing.
Wise words. More people need to think and chill before unleashing.
Actually, the bell is because their horns don’t work.
Great record. But upvoted mainly because of the modern TT in a retro cabinet. Nice!
Very appropriate "Tutto passa" tattoo
Ha! Exactly!
Beautiful picture. I’m jealous.
I can’t say from the pictures but definitely give them a thorough inspection. Clean them until spotless then take a good look.
If you can, it’s best to replace both front and rear sprockets and chain together.
Also, give your wheel a good inspection. It looks like cracks have formed near the visible bolts:
Also self proclaimed president of peace.
Such a bummer to see another bike company fade out. I owned a niner mountain bike and loved it.
Hopefully they just file bankruptcy and later reorganize as Thirtytwoer bikes.
