  1. I can't imagine hating breakfast. I don't eat a full breakfast everyday but on the occasion where I am in the mood I find great joy and pleasure in bacon, sausage, eggs and hash browns or home-fries. Eggs Benedict is also a treat. Making and eating a nice full breakfast with my wife on the weekend is a welcome indulgence that transcends the concern for nutritional or health values. The food and the aromas from cooking breakfast create comfort and set a warm ambiance for the day. IMO sometimes a meal is more than just the sum of feeding one's body.

  3. Well duh. You can't just go and cut a strap willy nilly, you'd need a hot knife cutter which will require lots of input. But seriously, not having a bunch of strap to have to secure makes life easier. A less permanent alternative is to roll up the excess and zip tie it...and figuring that out 'should' only take two pages and three failed attempts.

  4. Hard boil some eggs on the weekend and put them in the fridge for the rest of the week. It's amazing how far two eggs will let me go before I get real hungry again. I like to put salt and pepper on them, or better yet a splash of Frank's red hot.

  5. Well, I was fortunate today. I bought my DR field mower from Bluff City Cycles. Looking for motorcycle shops in my area, this came up. Got my parts in, so I brought the bearings and the drive assembly in to see what he thought. He didn't have that many more tools than I had, but he was much more familiar with driving these out and installing new ones. Total cost...just under $33. I can start putting it back together this weekend.

  7. Right side. Or you could put it on the centerstand in high gear and turn the wheel backwards.

  9. You could remove the crank-end plug, and see if it will rotate backwards half a turn, or so. If it does and then stops again, pull the plugs like Mike said, and re-evaluate.

  10. Check to see if the fuel shutoff is still working. They are known to go bad after 20 years or so. Me, I'd pull plugs and get a look inside.

  11. Full 4 into 1 stainless exhaust with RS-3 canister. Good condition with 1 missing canister rivet and one small scratch. Pics can happen if interested. $250 plus shipping from 24134. I ran this system for about 35K miles and switched to a Micron setup. Great power, very nice sound. May have PC-3 custom Dyno map, but not sure I can find the CD or recover it from a crashed drive....maybe.... Not online frequently these days, so email to hondasixpak@yahoo.com will get the quickest response. Thanks, T

  14. Hey, I owned one of those until I let the neighbor who had just chugged half of a fifth of whiskey take it for a ride. Did not end well but he survived.

  16. Sure you do. Use something long and thinner at one end to prise under the to door and raise it up a wee bit. Put a block under the door, reset your prising bar, and repeat until there is room for your hydraulic floor jack. Now you're in business. Raise the door with the jack, block it up, and lift the door again using whatever you can find...4x4 post, two 2x4's secured together, etc. keep lifting until the door is at least halfway up. As more of the door passes the 90 degree corner, less weight will be direct lift and you should be able to push the door up by hand. You did it! Just you and your friends leverage and hydraulics!

  17. My wife loved it... and I randomly fill out pages and don't tell her so she is surprised each time I do... $30 below... on the Tik Toc shop it was $9 shipped. https://seasonalpicks.gifts/products/what-i-love-about-you-leather-journal

  18. Like Super said, if you can get the part, take it to any machine shop or even a decent auto repair shop to press the bearings.
