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?

Time to dual! Purses at 20 paces! Maybe for you two, it could be syringes at 20 paces. LOL

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

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.

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? 😃

It's your phone service provider. They heard what you said about them, and they have released into your truck whatever gremlins they use for making calls drop unexpectedly.🫣 You should just burn it to the ground before they spread to your BMW.

This thread changed my life. I realized that there's a way that Moriah approaches some discussions, particularly technical, that I always chose to hear as negative. Today I decided to stop. It was a huge improvement. We can choose to make the best out of every perceived negative experience, like this, or not.

There are many ways to skin the cat but, apparently, fat trimming is volatile subject. 😁

Also I never correct grammar or vernacular if it's not intrinsically important to the conversation, but since we're making jokes about it now... Inductive Reasoning: • Definition: Inductive reasoning involves observing specific instances or patterns and then forming a general conclusion or theory based on those observations. • Direction: It moves from the specific to the general (bottom-up). • Certainty: Inductive conclusions are not guaranteed to be true, but rather they are probable or likely based on the evidence. • Example: Observing that several swans are white and concluding that all swans are white (though this is later proven false by the discovery of black swans). • Use Cases: Inductive reasoning is often used in scientific discovery, where observations lead to the formation of hypotheses. It's also used in everyday life when making predictions based on past experiences. Deductive Reasoning: • Definition: Deductive reasoning starts with a general principle or premise and applies it to a specific situation to reach a logical conclusion. • Direction: It moves from the general to the specific (top-down). • Certainty: If the premises are true, then the conclusion in deductive reasoning is guaranteed to be true (provided the logic is valid). • Example: If all men are mortal (premise), and Socrates is a man (premise), then Socrates is mortal (conclusion). • Use Cases: Deductive reasoning is often used in mathematics, logic, and formal proofs. It's also used in situations where a general rule or principle can be applied to a specific case.

If the oil and coolant isn't mixing, just top it off and keep an eye on it. You could put compressed air in each cylinder and listen for sounds but it might be just what Joe said.

There are two ways to parse most things in English. I have often pointed that out here, in many contexts. It's frustrating when someone interjects intent and judgement into otherwise neutral language. Option 1: Drugs = shortcuts Shortcuts = personal failure/weakness OR...just as written, no drugs were used, end of sentence. Also, no other shortcuts were used. No judgements made. Move more, eat less. Which if you're using drugs or other "shortcuts" you kinda need also anyway. They all work together. For some people, there absolutely is a stall on the "no drugs no shortcuts" method and now we have the data to prove that.

LOL, though this year I've had a lot less sun than usual and I feel ... white. Hopefully it's enough to keep me from getting a free one way ticket to Guatemala?

Thanks to everyone and especially Carlos. This is your idea come to life.

But your dick get's bigger.

LOL. I had to Google that one.

Thats the best part of it all even if I know it's not good for me. It's the risk. The reason I do the shit I do. Everything. Life is not boring. edit: and never will be.🤪😀😀

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.

Yeah, same. I think I'm just giving up the occasional egg treat altogether.

He's just asking questions. Do you really want him to provide the, um answers, as well? Didn't think so.

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

Love you too buddy 😎 We may tell him at some point, but not until he's a bit older and I know that we can trust him with the news. I don't want to end up in a situation where he fucks something up and blames his autism for it. Like my grandson, fucker has been told that he's ADHD kid and now each and every time he screws up, he's just saying "But I have ADHD". Little fuck needs his ass whooped once in a while, but his mum is treating him like a proper wuss. Pisses me off.

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

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