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.

SOLD for $8k. New owner is very excited to have found such a clean and low mile XX.

Thank you. I felt like I had a memory of MB that pre-dated Facebook medical but didn't know why. So horse medicine for Covid and fish medicine for everything else; I'm set!

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!

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.

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.

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

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.

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

And if the shitbag/buttplug victim doesn't have a trailer ball you can stick one half to the bumper or tailgate and still get the visual effect for half the cost.

He was born with three so he might need a bigger dose than average.

FB and Tiktok are great sources of medical info. Particularly something that is somewhat easy to OD on and has deadly or lifelong consequences. Luckily however, nearly every FB seller is significantly under-dosing it and selling mostly water.

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?

Wow, I didn't know any of that. Maybe if I worked on cars I'd have a clue. I've replaced many compressors and clutches, never with OEM, and none have been an issue. Also, many "OEM" parts for old cars are rebuilt, not new, and could be coming from the same guy who does them for the parts stores. For the extra money spent you get a Ford box and shorter warrantee. And you're wrong about the "big cost" of replacing a compressor, assuming yours needs to be replaced. If yours "tore up" the bulk of the cost will be cleaning and replacing the parts that became contaminated with compressor shrapnel. Most "failed" Ford compressors I've deal with just needed the clutch adjusted or replaced.

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.

You're right, I glanced at the old 809 and put that in my mind. $120 is still great.

ive never had one fail yet but i have had the neutral switch fail a few times as well as the clutch switch.

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

But your dick get's bigger.

So, it just comes naturally?

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???"

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.

If there are dozens more, why not start with the American sources? (rhetorical) You can find "studies" on how just about anything in the universe will kill or cure. Given how long chickens have been walking the planet, and humans have been eating their babies, with rampant diabetes being relatively new, I think you can understand my skepticism. Perhaps the real problem is something more modern? Plus, results rarely apply to everyone. However, everyone does have an agenda. Even scientists and doctors. You can show me a thousand motorcycle crashes, and I will still ride. (mic drop)

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.

I should have bought one. I s

Any tips on how to do it? 😀

Cautionary but I'm not sure I need it with the other stuff I eat. I stopped taking it for now.

That first one would never work. The flutes on one side are the wrong way!

100% agree, there has to be a balance. But at some point it would have been nice to know, before being nearly 60, that I have a completely different perception of time than almost everyone else.

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.

If the exhaust is aimed so that it is directly shooting out the open end what, Zero said is, well, the usual zero value. Recycling the hot cooling air is the only thing I'd be concerned with. If the cooling air exhausts along with the engine exhaust then your fine, otherwise it could be a problem.

Our flag started to mold hanging from a flag pole. Not bad and it took time but....

The door on my ice maker also acted up and would not seal properly so that ice would melt alittle and freeze up the working of the dispenser anyway. I took the ice container from the inside off and stuffed a rag in the hole and put it back, I just reach in and grab ice when needed. My fridge is going on 20 years and from what I have heard the newer units do not last very long. So I'm keeping this one until it fails completly.

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

Hmmm...the dinner and dessert I am preparing tonight for four people will have used a total of 18 eggs. Specifically 16 egg yolks and 2 full eggs. Also at least two sticks of butter. I will rename it Deadly but Delicious.
