I love that osmand app which runs .gps tracts. $59 for a tablet that has gps and uses google play? Sounds nice. I use my old 7 inch nexus 2013 in my car as my gps. Will check that out

The Logitech K400 keyboard/touchpad works great on these! I have 3 of them that i use on two of these droid boxes and one on my raspberry Pi.

LOL! It will work quite well with it. I went and looked at a couple old Ford F600s today. One was a Crew Cab 2wd with a deck and the other is a reg cab 4X4 with a body on it. The 4x4 was a Fire/Rescue rig. Seriously looking at it to build into an expedition rig.

My replacement for my dead goldwing. I finally tracked down a low mile vfr1200f locally. 9000 miles on it, and a custom HOK orange pearl metallic paint job. I pick it up tomorrow.

Walked in the house after work and was hit with, "The dryer isn't heating up". Sigh! Check out all the sensors and thermal switches hoping it isn't the gas valve. It was the gas valve. New valve was $250 plus shipping for an eight year old dryer that has already had the drum belt and pulleys replaced two years ago. A Maytag floor model at Menards was $500.

Went with the Maytag.

The 18' f150 xlt Texas edition with 325 hp 2.7lt engine. Hoping it gets the 22 combined mpg. Has start stop so jury's still out on that if starter will last. Got b to b 6year 100k warranty so will stick it to them if it goes tits up. I think I got a good price and traveled to Houston to purchase. Actually clicked thru a dealer ad I found here and price couldn't be be beat in my region.
Oh, I had to post some old cool cars too (cheesy

). Had to say goodbye to the 12' sorrento, ((dam good vehicle if your wondering) and my old blue 2000 Silverado is jealous (hoping to sell for 1800.00)

Dan... Love that color. Hope to see some better pics asap 👍

@BlackBike, I really was hoping you were going to tell us you wrote the check for the C cab. It'll hold it's value longer.

Musictrek · 03-09-2018, 12:15 AM

Got a new E-bike! Lol it cost more than my Hawk, but uses zero gas. Goes 20mph and will do 40-50 miles or more on a charge. Got some new panniers for it and its a fun ride! Has 5 levels of power assist. super bright lights at night. The motor is whisper quiet.

Rode on an Electric Bike a little while back when I was at "Geo Palooza", that e-bike was heavily modded and even on "low" power assist I was able to get up and go over 34 mph with me barely doing anything (takes more energy to walk)

some of the guys wanted to see a race between my (SLOW) 1.3L Geo Metro with the 3 speed Automatic and me going all out on the e-bike... we couldn't find a full face helmet that would fit (without going and buying one) so I declined

The e-bikes are definitely more expensive, but they can legally go places that a motorcycle cannot, like multi-use paths. They can sometimes be parked in doors.
