It's a Bosch that was on sale at Home Depot. Something like 30 bucks at the time. Cross-haired for level and/or plumb. That I could see, the next stepping up gives you a brighter laser with a wider arc, but this one (30ft) seems fine for a small home.

I suppose that is possible, but by 90-ish there are so many systems that are wearing out that it is unlikely in our lifetime.

No runout at all. Some change in the braking surface. This was the front disc on the Lynskey, not IceTech.

I do that too; and this is what I've found: Morons are easily confused, and I've also found they cuss in front of their fiance, but don't like it if you cuss in front of them. Morons be morons, and they be everywhere.

This guy was confused about a lot, but not about my intentions. I did, however, manage to just shut up and let him do his idiot thing, rather than perform my outraged weenie dance.

Yeah, that’s happened to me too, but probably not since we left the Boston area.

So you're lighter on your bike ride. C'mon man, this is a bike forum.

The dachshunds have been so easy to take. Only active when wrassling with each other or out in the field. Otherwise they are chill. It’s nice.

It's in the heart of apple country, dunno if they have much for wine grapes there. I haven't been there since '97 or so, though.
I'm aiming for pretty much any town about that size. In WA, OR, ID, eastern CO,WY, MT. Maybe northern UT, NV, or CA too.
Might opt for bigger cities if there's a place that wanted to pay me lots

Hey Heathpack it’s fine to get a DEXA. But bone density changes at a snail’s pace (with rare exceptions like high dose steroids or hyper parathyroidism), so typical interval is 2 years (or more).
You can maintain good bone density in your hips by just being sure to take frequent walks. Weights are ok but not mandatory.
Be sure you have enough DIETARY calcium, 1200-1500 mg/day. I am NOT a fan of calcium supplements, try to get it from food.

I don’t have time for walking! Although I guess I am walking when we are rabbiting.

My nephew had an English Mastiff. Weighed 195 pounds when fully grown with feet the size of saucers and canines over 2". Fortunately he had a sweet disposition. One weekend when I was visiting and sleeping in a bedroom and while half asleep I heard the door, which was ajar, push open and a moment later he put one huge paw on the bed and waited a count of 7 and one second after that he was up on the bed. I gave him a pat, he thumped his tail on the mattress in acknowledgement and we went to sleep. Sad to say, big dogs don't live nearly as long as small dogs.

Most big dogs don’t live as long as small dogs. Some do. I’ve got 4 dogs, one of whom is a 125 pound Khangal Shepherd. They typically live 12 to 15 years.

Not sure when it will happen, but it took $3 billion to sequence the first genome, and now it's ~$1,000.
