I broke a tooth today. Feel like the elephant with a nail in its foot.

I broke my $200 stihl edger attachment. ā
Its life. Until I can afford the new part, I have a split shaft Echo pas 265, straight Echo edger and a Stihl fc55 plus 5 or so weedeaters I can edge with.Well that sucks.
Nice! Be careful of second hand bikes, do a good inspection before buying or bring an experienced buddy like @HPIguy along (just an example, probably not worth having him fly in to do that LOL)! Will you be making a build thread on it? Also, check out this YT channel called KevCentral, I've been watching the guy for over 2 years now, good stuff! He mainly specializes in budget MTBs that still shred, so he reviews a lot of Walmart bikes (which are getting quite good now), mainly MTBs, and makes budget-friendly upgrades to them to make the trail-ready shred machines! He also reviews entry level-medium tier E-bikes and other stuff, check him out (he has vids that'll help you with your build): https://www.youtube.com/c/KevCentral:This morning I stopped at a second-hand store and bought a cheap full suspension mountain bike.
I am going to completely rebuild it and only use the frame.
I bought this stuff today also.

LOL I've made that thread mistake too...actually, I've done both! In the bike world, breaking stuff isn't good or common...you don't really have an equivalent of, say, A-arms Closest thing would probably be the mech hanger, but I'm getting way off track. And yes, I'm back from the dead!Oppss sorry guys, once again I put this in the wrong thread.
OH well, the bike was broke...
No, I'm not making a build thread. This is just another little hobby. I fixed a couple of bikes up for me and my sister to ride.Nice!

That or some nooKiE!Sounds like your wife owes you some money for parts and labor to repair!!
Well..... gotta admit, that was my first thought too. Unless your wife works and has "her" money, (unlike mine), her money is your money anyway. The barter system might work out better for you in this case.That or some nooKiE!
The money is easier to obtain.Well..... gotta admit, that was my first thought too. Unless your wife works and has "her" money, (unlike mine), her money is your money anyway. The barter system might work out better for you in this case.
She works out her right arm daily for 6 hours.Has she by any chance been working out lately? Sometimes you get something wedged at the right angle and that's all she wrote. Sucks for sure.
Right, you've said that before Just beware of those "Only ridden twice" bikes that have been absolutely abused, like blown bottom brackets, bent mech hangers, ect.No, I'm not making a build thread. This is just another little hobby. I fixed a couple of bikes up for me and my sister to ride.
I'm not into the heavy-duty mountain biking thing, my legs don't hold me up much anymore. The bikes are already up and running.
What sucks more is the guy flipped out and hired my friend to cut it now and skipped out on the 3 cuts owed.Well that sucks.

I was going full speed and I couldn't see where I was going and crashed full speed into a curb. The rpm arms held up though The battery on the other hand, got destroyed.
