He said they have 4 sheets in stock....so, don't wait too long.

Brand doesn't matter, but you want 48v with a minimum 500w motor. If you're a decent bike mechanic, able to adjust spokes, change brake pads and so forth you can order on-line, but if not buy local. I have 2-1/2" tires, which are good for all around use. Wider is only beneficial for off-trail....

I happen to have a couple cheap Chinese subs that have 700w amps, with appropriate crossovers. Just a warning....99.999999% of amp manufacturers lie about the power. They give you peak power and often that's at 4 ohms. Driving an 8 ohm speaker like the JBL will most likely be anemic. Only way to ma...

Get an E-Bike and you can ride to the gym. Really, it's great. No impact, no stress, and riding around is fun, as opposed to a stationary bike, which is work. I rode my E-PU to the gym today.....that's a Chevy Silverado. :cowboy: Might have to think harder about those....any particular brands to lo...

Wow. Ok Zippie.....here ya' go. Withrow Supply in Barboursville. 4x8 1/2" Baltic Birch - $73.49 That's $2.30 per sqft. That equates to $57.41 for a 5x5 for comparison. So, not way higher. My first set of subs was with 4/8 because I had done all of my Cutlist work for that. Once I realized the ...

1/2" Baltic Birch 5x5 - $44.39 in San Antonio.

Get an E-Bike. You still pedal for the exercise, using just enough electric assist to keep it comfortable, especially on hills. I ride mine 2k miles a year. If go to the store it's on my bike, going to the doctor, dentist optometrist, whatever. I'm about to head out now for my daily ten mile ride. ...

Great looking build. But, those 48s are monsters...even the slim ones. Glad I get the low end I need from my 39s.

But, it really was hot and I truly lost 6 pounds from the time the left til I got back home 7 hours later. More fun, and way cheaper than GLP-1's, Bruce! :P Well, gotta' fess up.....been on Zepbound for 10 months. Down 25 pounds. Tried to do it the old-fashioned way, but at almost 69 and a bad back...

Here's the band I was mixing on the 4th.....doing all 90s stuff....this is one of few songs that I knew. https://www.facebook.com/100054938670766/videos/pcb.1554590079715600/2078473412739143?__cft__[0]=AZYEzIO2gTHuR1FCgKbw02iJXOaxFKzek7VGJT50MvitwPspP-dRnvJLJikPvAIoFI461J3o0zky04XM9JawWfV9ShL9khwgKK...

After sweating off 6 pounds yesterday doing an outdoor show, I though that was the temperature.

Lol. While we’re on the topic, I caught myself subconsciously taking note of step blocks at my physical therapist office today that are 100% Baltic Birch by the end grain. Is it like when you buy a car and start seeing them everywhere!? I feel like I’m coming down with something… Yeah, it really is...

Just checked my supplier in San Antonio. 1/2" Baltic Birch 5x5 - $44.39

So, look for the wholesale guys. Call a cabinet shop and ask 'em who they buy from.

Also, remember when asking about Baltic Birch, you may have to also use the term Russian Birch. Just nothing from China.

5x5 will be cheaper per foot as that's the normal size for BB. I haven't looked in a while, but I was buying it for $30 a sheet a few years back, then it blew up. But, last time I looked it was back down to around $50 I think. Look for a lumber wholesaler. The boutique shops are gonna be more. I use...
