Maybe you could just photocopy chapter 11 to mail to Zero? Hopefully it's written in plane language.

Welcome mate. Unfortunately we already have an Oscar here so you'll need to fuck off. With love, Oscar.

And THEN you find the perfect truck in your own back yard.... and the bastard will NOT sell

I've seen his safety considerations around the shop, no way he's gonna bareback a paper back.

The 7.3 has nowhere near the power of modern Diesels, but somehow it has enough power to pass the repair shops that the modern ones just can't seem to get around.

"diesel" Plus, it's a 7.3, so the power to weight is about the same as a grom..😜

That's the good side.

im in West aus so a lot of my parts i get online. chain and sprockets i have been buying from RPM MOTO in Queensland.i wait for them to have their sales and can get chain and sprockets delivered for less than just a chain in WA. Lately i have been buying oem parts from WEBIKE JAPAN.our exchange rate has been good at the moment.just keep an eye on postage costs.i order enough spares /consumables to keep it under the next step up in postage rates. i have ordered a stator,air and oil filters and neutral and clutch switches most of them at half price in comparison to Australia.delivery takes about a week. I have also ordered from BLUE City Motorcycles in Sth Aus.Postage from them has usually been around $7. EBC brake pads i get from the UK.works out around $70 per set delivered.just keep an eye on the exchange rate. I know a few people order from JAWS Motorcycles in the UK as well but i havent as yet.

You could drink a gallon of Folger's and possibly still be below Carlos's 'cup' of coffee per day.

LOL. First paper cut you get, you'll be done.

If the engine is complete and you have the harness, you'll just need to connect to the ignition box and coils. If you don't have a harness you'd need a wiring diagram to connect the parts. What does "Y reg" mean?

That's why you buy a diesel from the South. "Sorry, I bought this from Alabama, and I don't know what all they cut off of it but it gets 22 mpg, has 1000hp and 2000 ft/lbs of torque, and is loud as FUCK." I looked at a CC 4X4 6.7 the other day that had a straight pipe with a tip pointing at the ground behind THE CAB. Kid was like "Want me to crank it?" I was like HELL NO. I could hear Greta screaming out the window from her plane from 30,000 feet at this dumbass 🤣

The hinge side stile on an exterior wood door to the conservatory/sun room rotted out. Big hole, no way to patch. This door is 1 of 3 so it has to match. To have a new door made to match...would be expensive, I didn't check, but thick end of a grand probably, not including the large insulated glass panel, which is salvageable. The large glass panel and small wood panel below it are held in with silicone and wood keeper strips finished nailed into place. I removed the keeper strips, cut the silicone and successfully remove both panels. Luck was on my side as the door turned out to be mortice and tenon construction, so I carefully chopped away at the offending stile leaving the rest of the door and tenons intact. I say lucky because mortice and tenon door construction is far and away the best/strongest method. My only real expense here was going to be a suitable piece of wood for the new stile. I went cheap here by going to the big box store, but spent some time going thru every suitable piece on the rack. Cost 15 vs 60+ at real lumberyard, 45 x 90 x 2400mm PT spruce (I think, it didn't say). Everything else I had already. Tools used: small jobsite light table saw with brand new finish blade Sharp chisels/ hammer cordless drill and impact driver Forsner wood drill bits...............................creates a flat bottomed hole and you can even change direction (a little) while drilling circular saw hand power planer As the wood was slightly wider than needed I was able to plane it "straight" on one edge and table saw it on the other, if that makes sense, to create a very straight piece. Using a suitable sized forsner wood bit and following up with a hammer and chisel, I created 3 mortices. This last bit is quite tricky and must be done accurately or the door will only look straight to a drunken sailor. The insulated glass panel came apart as I removed it, so after cleaning and removing all old mastic, I sandwiched it back together and used 100% silicone out of a tube instead of the hot mastic that the pro's use. Before hanging the door, I cut a 4 degree bevel on the hinge side, see sketch. This gives relief from binding and plenty of room for paint. On a single door the bevel should be present on both sides, hinge and latch. For a double door unit (this one), only the hinge side for the passive door, both sides for the active door. If you read this far, thankyou, pics to follow in chronological order. First pic is all that I had to work with after removing the rot. Bottom rail was removed and repaired.

No chance of me owning that, think more slanty. But yeah, the recirculating fans are pretty ineffective. We have a real outside vent, otherwise I'd just move the pepper spray around faster. I forgot the other side effect. No cross contamination, no issues with stuff not being disinfected.

I want to make sure I have this straight. A group of grown "men" sitting around talking about cleaning products? No wonder slappy left.

Tell me you love Graphene tire dressing without telling me you love it?

I believe that Dell offers some laptops with Linux preloaded. Check the Dell site.

Nothing but big batteries here, man card intact. 😀

Stop being a pussy. More power.

Been doing the demo work for my bathroom remodel and finally got to the tile floor this weekend. It's a circa 1970's bathroom and I have got to give kudo's to whoever laid the floor because those ceramic tiles most likely would have never ever ever come loose. They were laid on a bed of about 3/4" mortar which was on top of steel mesh on top of a rubber membrane on top of the floor sheathing (plywood). What I assumed would be a one day job turned into three but the good news is that I finally for the first time got to use the "jackhammer" setting on my hammer drill. I don't think there would have been a way to do it without some type of a jackhammer. I started out just hammering on the tiles with a little 2-pound sledge and that took about 30 minutes to do the damage in the first pic. Second pic is about 3/4 done with the jackhammer. Must have moved about a 500 pounds of debris. I'm getting too old for this shit.

I'm not sure if I was ever an age and level of stupidity to ride the XR to CA down I-10.

seen that type of trailer many years ago; https://baxleycompanies.com/pages/trailers

@DaveK I think this will meet your approval. I've posted about Adam's graphene tire coating before, don't think I've posted a full thread. Short story; it's fantastic, and can also be used on motorcycles safely. I was mildly disappointed that it seemed to fade away on the new truck tires kind of quickly. Also it has never looked as smooth/even as I'd like. I did some digging and asking, and learned it's because of the amount of oxidation and "stuff" that seeps out of new tires. The recommendation was to really clean them, and that it would take at least two applications. So I did it again yesterday, scrubbing with a stiff brush using car soap, and then another round of tire-specific cleaner, and more brushing. Normally they say to just spray that on and hose off. The results are great. I suspect this time it will work for a longer term, like it had on the Tesla's already-used tires, when I first applied it on that. Oh yeah, the 2x4 was a trick to reach the entire tread, although next time I'd use a 4x4 to get even more space.

Thanks for the welcome, Paul. I've been around a while, I have just never posted anything before. I'm not looking for pre-loved parts, I'm looking for new parts. F'rinstance, right now, I need front brake master cylinder and caliper seals and other bits and pieces of rubber so that the brakes actually work properly (🫢).

Just a small project idea.

Oh, and I put my last coat on when I got the Jeep in April. 1300 miles on this application.

I caught a blurb on the radio about how doctors are now saying that whole milk and cheese are good for you. I wonder what the current stance on eggs is, that has also run the good-bad bullshit a few times. Is bread good or bad these days? Dried meats? Fuck it, I'll order a pizza to cover all the bases.

I liked DeWalt for a long time, got grinders, drills, hammer drill, 1/4", 1/2" and 3/4" impacts blah blah.. I am slowly going to Milwaukee as I replace them. For the average use DeWalt is great, my application they have quickly been outpaced by Milwaukee with their offerings.

I have Milwaukee stuff and love them but I also have the highest torque one Ryobi makes because it was so much cheaper than the Milwaukee plus I have other Ryobi stuff that all use the same battery. A lot of people use Dewalt and are happy with them. Interchanging batteries for different tools is important to me.

Never seen wheel that would require 180 pounds to balance. Weird.

A quick Google search indicates that there is nothing wrong with coffee with the Atkins diet. What you do not want to do is use sugar of any form in your coffee. You do not want to use diet sodas because most all of them use a sweetener that only makes you crave more sweet and can damage your gut bacteria.
