The photo shows my next two jigsaws. They are only 500 pieces each and the pieces are actually a bit bigger than the ones I’ve been doing lately. However, the jigsaws themselves look a bit tricky. We shall see I guess. I’m not...

Ron Rybs @Ineeddentures I don't have an ebike and don't know a great deal about them. I have a folding bike for trips in the city, a hybrid for local trips and shopping with a trailer attached, an expedition bike and my proud and joy a touring bike. The last two I use...

Ron Rybs We had a series here with Leslie Nielsen advertising Red Rock Cider. It's not red and there are no rocks in it. Another good one was Carling Black Label beer spoofing the Dam Busters. I know the last is on YouTube
