hi rei rick, i bike everyday weather lets me down here in the largo florida area i bike ride a lot for my bowling and i am older as well i am 70 and my bike is a trek 7700 2007 modeland i also have a trek 520 touring bike i convertedinto a city bike before i retired i lived in the chicago suburbs in illinoisand i winter bike with spiked tires to dont need that in florida. tom
Right now when sold separately, the toolbox costs more than the tool set. And if you buy them together, the cost goes up even more. Shame on Dewalt!
Horrible
Love to do this, but tell me the average speed you guys doing because ím not that fast ( my average is 15.5) ,my fun is the ride itself not speed ,but i love long distances.
Hey man, great video. I saw your message about not having another video after the 1st 28. All good. We are riding from Key largo, to Long Key - 32 miles, then 40 miles to Looe key, followed by a 28 mile ride into key west. I'm an experienced rider, but my partner is not as into biking as I am. She is athletic, but does not ride that much. How are the roads between Key largo and Key west? Any advice on danger zones?
I liked the tip of skipping the middle miles to avoid riding with traffic. Have no desire getting plowed by an RV.
Did you only document the first 28 miles?
I have videos for the 2 day ride. I was trying to make it interesting and then got side tracked.
I’d like to ride the Keys! How bad is bike theft in the area?
We kept an eye on the bikes any time we stopped. They will disappear if you walk away long enough
Florida Keys Heritage Overseas Trail
My goal is to bike the keys before the year ends as a long term goal. Thank you for the video! If you could message me on Instagram or something I would appreciate it
Did you do it??
Thank you for making this video! When can we watch the rest of your trip?
I never go around to condensing all my footage. W Are you planning a ride? Are you interested in planning or scenery?
Was enjoying your Keys footage. What happened to the rest of your trip?
I have done Florida Keys from Miami to Key West a couple of times. It's a beautiful ride and totally enjoyed it. The first year I had someone to pick me up when I reached Key West, and the second time I had to box the bike and took it back with Grayhound bus. Didn't know that there is another option that this bike shop would pick up. I need to look into it if I decide to do it again next time. 👍
Thinking of doing this before the year ends! Would love to talk about your trip
sure I'll reach out
Organizing your tools takes discipline and patience. Bad habits die hard. Slow down young man. You will save time and money if you learn to treat your tools with respect.
I was an Appliance repairman for over 25 years. Fortunately for me General Electric designed a tool kit just for their Television and Major Appliance repairmen. This kit came in an Attaché case. It had 2 pallets with a pocket for every tool. And space in the bottom for supplies like electrical tape and screws etc. I still have it. Also look at The military GMTK (General Mechanic Tool Kit.)
Good to see such an informative video about the route.
Does the 226 have everything the 192 has and more? It has all the same sockets and ratchets as the 192 set?
Those are not backstab openings. They are screw clamp openings and are OK to use but if you think that box is grounded you might kill someone.
That outlet is garbage and the back stab or clamp whatever you want to get technical about is a crap connection weather it is UL listed or not. It came loose 3 times and was tossed out after the video and replaced with a better qualify outlet. You get what you pay for and that outlet is garbage. I've had 2 electrical permits on this house and passed. These outlets are grounded verified by 2 electrical contractors and separate inspectors. Thanks for your input
Maybe I missed it: how did you initially confirm that the box was grounded so you would not have to put in a GFCI instead?
The panel in the basement is bonded / grounded. With metal conduit bonded to the panel then you just need to run ground wire to the eletrical box from the outlet.
@@Rick.johansen Okay, but you didn't mention in the video how you knew that the "metal conduit" provides the necessary low-resistance grounding path to the service panel. At 14:20 we can see it is not indicating "open ground", which is good. However, millions of older homes have no grounding at the 2-prong receptacles and those may need to have GFCI protection added, to conform to national electrical code, if being replaced with 3-prong receptacles.
We have the system as well with every single sensor that they have minus the co2 and we love it, even have the video doorbell but if i was you because of having a dog i would have put the motion sensor about 6 feet up as the dog will still set it off but you can go on your app and make any sensors do what you want. Example, living room motion sensor to send you a secret alert only so if the dog sets it off it will just send you a text that that sensor was triggered but maybe you had good luck with that not happening but good luck and enjoy it.
So far so good. She hasn't set it off yet. I'm Looking to add a video doorbell as soon as the drywall dust clears.
