No drugs, no shortcuts. A lot gym hours and putting the fork down. Firt guy probably couldn’t run to the end of my driveway. I couldn’t bench 115 pounds. Second guy ran a 10k at 50. Bench pressing my own weight. And more importantly, I feel good.

Colossal idiot here - it was the Kill switch. I never use it, but had inadvertently hit it and - when she didn't start, that put be into a mental spin...which for me isn't a productive state of mind. Thanks to everyone for the assist. Now, if the temps will lower a bit, I'll get back to riding.

Nothing in your coolant or oil, I would suspect it is just local condensation contaminating the oil and sequestering in the PAIR galleys.

How long since you toggled the kill switch?

Those who succeed come to realize they have effectively made a lifestyle change, and it is to be maintained as such. The benefits are not just physiological, but psychological as well. You did this--no one did it for you. Savor the sense of satisfaction and well-being--you earned it. Resist the urge to look critically upon others who have not your sense of commitment and dedication (despite any obvious need on their part); but, rather provide quiet yet competent influence by continuing to lead this lifestyle of healthy example. Congrats, and carry on!

This makes more sense here than anywhere else in the world.

Sounds like you might have some good friends.🤣 I had trouble starting my Stihl Blower a few days ago. Turns out I couldn't remember which way the on/off switch was supposed to go. I absolutely hate when they use symbols instead of words. "I" on one side and "O" on the other. How hard is it to put the words "on" and "off" on a thumb switch?

Yea, it's fucking nuts. Carlos brought his fucking starlink to my house and hogged up almost 2 square feet of my dirt with it. Then I stupidly decided to move it all by myself and damn near threw out my back, I can almost guarantee that monstrosity weighs over 5 lbs.

Luckily it rarely lands, joke's on them. Or if it seems like it could, deploying weaponized autism can be fun.

That's African American buddy. 😉

Finally got a seller who gave me what I asked. Got the 5k I was looking for.

2000 Suzuki VZ800 (aka Marauder). 29k miles. The Good - starts and runs well. Shifts ok at the 15mph or less I rode it. Bodywork is reasonably good / straight. After market seat. Thats about it. The bad - forks are HEAVILY blown - and have been for some time. Im not sure about the rear shock either. Brakes are HEAVILY contaminated. Im shocked the damn thing stopped when he rode it here- literal grease/oil on the rotor and pads. Chain'n sprockets needed replacement in 2006. Tires likely too. I "think" the frame is straight but the bolt on t-bar style handlebars sit tweaked in the triple. Knocked around during a fall I'm sure - cant guarantee bars are straight. This is one if no one wants it will go for scrap. Whoever buys its will get a title and " for parts only" BOS - do with it what you will. I'm genuinely scared to sell it locally because someone might actually try and ride it as is... If you can do labor yourself and spend some time with it - you could make a decent riding reliable bike out of this. Some investment would be required. $100 bike + $250 doc fee and tax for your location.

possibly the kill switch,as xxitanium says . are you trying to start it with the bike on the centre stand with the sidestand up. is it in gear and side stand down,is it in neutral and sidestand down but neutral light not on .if so its a faulty neutral switch . Just checked on my 99 model with bike in gear and sidestand down.the fuel pump still cycles .

LOL, Mike slept on my couch one night and that had a profound affect. On my emotional state and my bung hole

Great job! It takes a lot of commitment to do what you did and are doing.

New Blower motor from RockAuto runs from $18 to 49. Additional $10 for the blower motor module. Blower motor relay is $8.50 to 22. How much time have you spent on this already?

Sounds like a great way to create an adventure. Post often so we'll have a clue where it and/or you died along the way.

I mean were in the same country lol

On my carbs the needles look like the one on the left. If I remember correctly, there is also a small washer? Hold the tip of a soldering iron on the alloy part holding the pin on both sides of the float, just don't touch the float.

Sad. I like eggs. Can do alot with a boiled egg. If you let them go weeks beyond stale date, there are other uses for them. edit to add: they really explode if you shoot 17hmr.

Did it really take him that long or was that just your perception? 😃

A friend's parent's oven crapped out so they called a professional, it was deemed unfixable so they ordered a replacement which was just under $3k. Then the BS started with delays over unavailable models and and it became over $4k. Then I heard about it. I ordered an OEM heating element for under $70 and installed it, done.

Safety, obviously, third. OSHA not allowed in my place.

Sorry about your ego. I didnt say - or in my mind even imply that people who get there a different path are less. I just shared MY path. You chose to be offended by it.

I missed the question before. It has a different, and dare I say it, more fluid impact. It can impart both more force but less trauma on the part being hit. I have no idea if it's quieter, but logic says it must be. These tools aren't loud so I don't imaging anyone cares. This isn't a 1/2" oogga-doogga impact. I'm still lusting for this but best I can find is just over $180 on eBay, so nah.

Let's make sure we both agree on the squatter thing...... I define "squatter" as the reason I will never, ever own another rental property.

Same for me... almost everyone I have spoken to have either stopped the drug or reduced the dose because of side affects. Do I have slight side affects, sure. But absolutely nothing that has even remotely made me consider stopping. Tummy ache for an hour. Injection site soreness. Maybe slight depression (don't really experience this anymore) No shitting problems, not massive aches, cramps, headaches... nothing. BUT.... I drink a metric shit ton of water and take 8 fiber pills a day. I also eat clean and healthy 85% of the time. No alcohol too. So... I am sure and have been told this definitely has something to do with my success.

Oh, also noteworthy, nobody in healthcare is easily offended and they all enjoy some good bullshit. They always ask which eye, and what correction/surgery you're going to have. When they would ask, "Right eye cataract removal and toric lens with doctor Levin?" "Wait, this isn't my vasectomy???"

LOL. I had to Google that one.

I need head steering damper.

My guess is that Scott overstated the shittiness of the bike's condition, and I've piloted some very questionable vehicles of all types, but not without an assessment. I might do a fly and ride for this, but with the expectation that there will possibly be a U-haul involved.

Me first Sons and I are in discussions. Scott, I'll let you know first part of next week.

The last billing cycle we used 507kwh. Then I added another EV and we started using the AC, this month's usage will be just over 300kwh thanks to the solar power.

+ 1 I have eaten a LOT of eggs my whole life (sometimes 3 or 4 a day) and the last I checked, I was still alive and no sugar issues. While I have backed off eating so many only because of the possible cholesterol connection, there is no way I fully believe this below without something else being involved.

Nice thread title Ozemdick is pretty good. Ozempenis has a nice ring to it too. Manjunko?

Did you have to cut the cases to get the 38 to fit? 😆

Autism or no...sometimes you're just an asshole.

Yup, the two sides swing up to face each other.

Let me find a YouTube video on this…. j/k
