  1. PSA levels and urinary capability are not completely linked - the PSA relates to the cancer - the urinary flow can relate to localised obstruction (swelling), and I am interested if the cutout would improve your flow over time - this is total speculation on my part that it might help - some people think it does - other not.
  2. Are you riding with a saddle that has a cutout for pressure relief? this is more a question about your thoughts on its effectivity if you are using one than a recommendation.
  3. They certainly can affect heart rates- and can cause reflex tachycardia (high heart rate - which is the opposite to your experience) even at rest - if I were you I would be cautious about pushing limits without a discussion with a cardiologist and possibly a full cardiac workup as a precaution. I would suspect the mechanism is more complicated as it's an anti cholinergic - and thus may complicate blood pressure regulation and the reason for your inability to raise heart rates lies in that area - please don't take this as gospel and get a cardiac workup before going full gas. Sorry to hear about your prostate cancer - that's piss poor news indeed - I hope you get that under control. (hat, coat door... with pun book in hand)
  4. My condolences on your and your families loss Reinet - I hope that Francois' sharing of his fight encourages others to take early measures when they have healthcare concerns, and to investigate and deal with issues early before they become insurmountable (which may happen anyway) I wish you the best going forward with your new challenges - as always, reaching out to hubbers and keeping them in the loop will generate support for your journey. All the best
  5. I suspect it is a fairly small market for cycling specific coffee cups - although I do have some Assos mugs, and if you look around you probably could find some quite easily locally - but I prefer fairly plain rather than specific decorative things.
  6. Those were done by Circa Ceramics - don't think you can still buy them - but Etsy.com is probably the place to look for similar - or have them made locally - https://za.rapid.studio/site/products/c/homeware/mugs could probably do something for you - you might need to find the cups first.
  7. It's more a question of what defines right - pm me your whatsapp number... I will send video - you be the judge...
  8. Wayne - just a question - nothing to do with NZ - how far do I have to be able to ride that damn unicycle of yours you so kindly donated to me before you consider it as being able to be ridden? It's been my lockdown project for a couple of weeks.... after some time on hold I took it out again.
  9. Put some copper slip on the axle - across the full length - worth a go before stripping down a hub
  10. https://www.paragonmachineworks.com/ will have
  11. They work fine for 80% of my tools - and are particularly good for small parts and things like nuts and bolt storage - easy to see everything without opening a million little drawers - also the big ones are nice to fit straight edges and levels and such - mostly because they are big.. On my big roll away, the long drawers are deeper, and I hate having things on top of each other - although that happens in the deep drawers a lot. I often consider trying to re-engineer 2 drawers into a single deeper one though - I am sure it will be possible - just have not got around to trying yet.
  12. Search the second hand classifieds - they come up regularly - some are better quality than others. https://www.gumtree.co.za/a-office-equipment-furniture/rosebank/plan-filing-drawers/1007109189080910253053409 Edit - here is another one - better view - https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1438055306353647/
  13. I mostly have mechanics type hand tools - stored mostly in a BIG rollaway - but I also have a few old architects plan cabinets converted to tool storage - 2A0 and A0 size - the only issue with these drawer based solutions are the depth of the drawers for larger tools - few electric hand tools will fit in these. I also have 3 horizontal filing cabinets - these work better for big tool storage, but are super hard to find - either new or second hand. I also have floor to ceiling shelving in 2 garages - this tends to turn messy quickly, but is nice to have and easy to find things - also cheap second hand compared to roll away drawer sets.
  14. Maybe some rod through the cross grain to strengthen it too? nice job btw. edit - I always think those handles are kind of dumb because I inevitable bump knuckles against the hot pot or lose some hair on my fingers from the flame... perhaps a variant 2 at 45 degrees?
  15. I tried it last week - works fine to froth indeed - but does change the mouth feel a bit - Might just be a change of taste I am noticing. As an aside from this - I have had good success with Spar brand UHT long life milk if you want to get some stocks in - square container with a green top. I am about to start with an experiment on what freezing woolies fresh milk will have - bottle defrosting now.... bottle only expires on 4/4 and has been frozen 2 days - will be interesting to see - never tried this one before - all I noticed so far is that the plastic was significantly expanded when I took it out the freezer - if it works then I will use a little first out the bottle rather than risk a massive leak in the freezer.
  16. Not in this world, or the next......
  17. I have had a Siemens B2C machine hit before- 1800 odd to fix at Siemens - worth asking the supplier for a quote.
  18. It does look nice - but I would personally have a close look at the Classe S5 - its a great machine - friend of mine has one and he is very happy indeed - even though I am an LM fan... that machine ticks a LOT of boxes at the price.
  19. You might as well bite the bullet and go bike - double boiler time.... Expobar make some that are not massively more expensive than a hx machine. https://onlinecoffeeshop.co.za/shop/espresso-coffee-machines/espresso-coffee-machines-commercial-espresso-coffee-machine-1-group/prosumer-espresso-coffee-machines/crem-expobar-office-lever-brewtus-p-i-d-dual-boiler-domestic-espresso-coffee-machine/ But seeing as you have a Silvia... why not the new one... a double boiler... https://www.home-barista.com/espresso-machines/rancilio-silvia-pro-dual-boiler-pid-espresso-machine-t61126.html But This one I think is one of the best value machines around - and is a bit of a dragon - huge steam power - which is ALWAYS a good thing. https://capecoffeebeans.co.za/collections/commercial-espresso-equipment/products/rancilio-classe-5-s-commercial-espresso-machine?variant=6929947918383
  20. Nice colour on the grinder - I am curious what you used as the hopper - looks very nice and neat - looks like it would work for me on my Kony which is way too tall for under kitchen cabinet use.
  21. PM to Nerd or flippa - organise a group buy while you are at it - save on shipping
  22. It's only the end of the beginning - new life, new challenges to come - good luck!
  23. Nicole's whatsapp is being read - not sure by whom, but I suspect all messages and condolences will be shared - at least, I hope they will be.
