Found this just up my fence line from our entrance gate. How lazy and disgusting! There is a free scrap metal drop off bin a mile up the road! People are such pigs. Fortunately it’s a plug in electric mower so no gas or oil spill.

That's disgusting as are the people that do this kind of thing. Down at the road there's a dirt pull out. We used to use it for the school bus stop until the litter got to bad. People were dropping off appliances, cars, boats, furniture, deer carcasses, household trash and all kinds of stuff. It always shows up in the middle of the night.
It got so bad that we stopped using it as the school bus stop.

I attribute it to acute laziness.

They do that type of thing there? I thought it was isolated to only in the south

Nope, there's lazy #$%*bags everywhere. 

Way too many litterbugs around.
I was raised in Ct. and growing up around there remember seeing signs in many places announcing prosecution w/ heavy fines for people littering.

Blanket party might work out well for them…

The amount of a$sh%les here,you would need a blanket factory to supply us first,before getting into that. 

Thanks guys, I just wish I'd heard him, my .22 air rifle doesn't make much noise, but would probably deter him from coming back.

 I woke up early dreaming about #$%* that pisses me off and started the day in a bad mood. I got my granddaughter to cheerleading practice, watched the grandkids swim in their pool for a while, went home, mowed, weed whacked, carried in and put away groceries, almost got a nap, went to my grandsons ball game and when I got home I took out the trash and tree debris, and lastly snagged a motorcycle ride. 
 I found a Margarita in a can and here I sit way less pissed off than when my day began. Self-therapy.

Cold weather pisses me off. Went out in the patio for a coffee and cigarette at 8am, and checked the temperature, 0 Deg C. I think I’ll put off riding to work at 5am until Spring.

[seanbarney41]

That's funny Terry.  I was just thinking about how hot weather pisses me off.  I don't think I want to leave the cool of this box fan to do anything until fall.  Sweating pisses me off.

[Terry in Australia]

Yeah mate, my favourite 2 years was a posting to Brisbane in the late 80’s where the temperature never got much lower than 70, and not much higher than 90. I rode (motorcycles and bicycles) to work every day and never really needed my V8 Ford, apart from towing my trailer or driving the family to Melbourne for the holidays. We had a pretty mild summer but lots of great riding days, then it just got cold. Two more months of this crap, then 6 months of nice riding weather. I can’t wait.

 A local young man was riding with his friends, some that I know, they touched wheels at a stop light in town and one went down. Low speed, nearly stopped. He somehow tore his aorta and died on the spot. 

 Coming home from the union hall today a car needed to pass a group on a two-lane highway as they were coming at me, it didn't appear that he was going to make it around, I braked and pulled to the edge of the road. Flashed my high beam, checked my mirrors, (No one behind me) They got back in at the last second, likely due to the other cars slowing down, they didn't cause a wreck with the cars being passed or hit me head-on. I stuck my hand with my bright blue glove out as they passed, kind of a WTF sign.
 That's all I got, just WTF.

Just more proof that you need to live every day to the fullest. Any one of us could be daisy fertilizer tomorrow.

What pisses me and has for a Long time..    PLENTY

That’s awful about the guy who tore his aorta Don, many years ago I worked with a guy who had a parachuting incident. His canopy didn’t completely open and he hit the ground so hard he burst his aorta. Luckily there were a team of heart specialists visiting a hospital nearby who drove straight out to the DZ and a surgeon opened him up on the DZ and sewed him back up. He had a vertical scar from his throat to his stomach but survived. I was a bit sh1tty with the surgeon because Carl was a pr1ck of a human being and I wouldn’t have missed him at all. It’s always the good ones who don’t make it, obviously God wanted him less than we did.

 I just got sniped on a set of sandcast carb bodies on ebay, if somebody here got them, I have the caps, cables, floats and slides to put them back together. And I can weld the broken mount plate.
 I thought I'd assemble the parts and pass them on cheap to help someone else with their restoration.
  I got a NOS K0 speedometer a few years ago for $400 from one of the sandcast only guys and a rebuildable tach very reasonable on here. I considered that cheap and wanted to pass along my good fortune.

 I got a ups tracking number from APE for the air filters that I ordered in may and cancelled in mid June. My credit card is also pending. The guy said he had no idea when they would come in so I asked him to cancel the order. Someone else finally had them in stock so I went elsewhere.
 And that pisses me off.

Don,are you accepting the shipped? APE filters ?

Developed an eye infection in right eye about a month ago and saw opthalmologist and given eye drops. Had been having pain in jaw that leads to ear pain as muscles in jaw are like guitar strings way too tight. It ebbs and flows (generally  less painful in AM) but still dealing with it and gonna have to go see primary care doctor and doubt she will have a clue what is causing it. Cannot lay on the right side of my face because of how tender it is.
I cannot take typical pain meds or anti inflammatory meds because of a gastric problem from the past, fear it could re trigger the problem.
I know stress is contributing to it but not sure what is driving that or how to resolve this...

It pisses me off.

I understand your pain;I had something similar.
Lately,I've been stretching my neck and jaw muscles and it takes time:a slow process to keep them stretched..  to 'de-stress' and stretch at the same time, then  try to avoid toxic individuals 
I've been stretching my neck while laying on my back;been stretching the jaw muscles also..

Generally UPS drops and runs around here no doorbell or anything. I'm undecided as I'm still unsure what error they made, since I had ordered a set then cancelled and tried to order another part # but asked if it was in stock and then told the TSR I didn't want to wait an undetermined amount of time. They obviously kept my credit card number in their file.

 The filters coming aren't for the VM29's they are the ones for the RS36's. At around $65 I thought it was a deal at a hundred less than K&N's. I tried to order the push pull throttle and the filters at the same time. I guess the TSR didn't understand that I was unwilling to wait since they had no filters to sell. Now I see that they are out of the push pull throttle. I might have gotten the last one.  I can return them or might re-sell if anyone needs a set. 

[seanbarney41]

I got a set of APE filters on the 29 smooth bores on my kz1000.  They are very nice and work well.  Every bit as good as K&N's.

I got em about 2 years ago maybe?  I think big Jay personally walked that order through the process because at first APE claimed they didn't have any but a short time later  Big Jay called wondering if I still wanted them and offered to get a set made for me, same low price.  It did take a while.

It really seemed like Big Jay was the only one at APE interested in even handling the parts for the vintage bikes.

[Terry in Australia]

Same problem here Dave, Wife’s old Samsung stopped working (same issue as yours) bought her a new unlocked Samsung S15 for $300 on Amazon. Fantastic phone, 5G, brilliant camera and a quarter of the price of my 2 year old iPhone. Was delivered the next day.

 The Son in-law of a friend got his bike running after a period of it being down for repairs. He was on a country blacktop road and a deer jumped right into his face. It took him off the bike and shortly a neighbor found him sitting in the middle of the road not knowing what happened. He got a life flight to a bigger hospital and was only kept overnight.
 The bike was a mess on the front with blood everywhere and the headlight mostly missing. Later they went to the scene and found the deer 40 yards away with the broken headlight bulb sticking out of it.
  Jumping deer piss me off.

[RAFster122s]

Too bad we don't have deer round ups and harvesting with meat packers geared up to help process the meat and hides turned into skins. Deerskin gloves , if thick enough, make excellent motorcycle gloves...
Deer meat when naturally foraging in areas with sufficient food is a very healthy meat. Naturally the deer would need to be checked to ensure it wasn't coming from deer wasting disease...
There are a few places that raise deer for consumption.

I was shocked one night coming through Saguaro National Park on my way back home and I popped over a hill doing 40, speed limit is 35, and a young mule deer popped out to cross road 100-120 feet in front of me, I get on the brakes and it turned to run a little bit farther the direction I was traveling or I would have hit it. That extra 10-15 feet made the difference.
I won't ride through the park fast at night on my motorcycle. I don't tend to drive through it that fast either. Although I have seen triple digits once in part of that roadway.

I drove down to Bairnsdale this weekend to visit my Ma who turned 96 last Wednesday. She’s doing great, still living at home and enjoying life. Driving back this morning, slowed to take a left turn and fcuk me, there was a sheep standing in the middle of the road staring at me.

I honked my horn and it took off across the road and jumped (awkwardly) thru the three strand farm fence. It was lucky that I’d had to slow down for the corner or else it would have been a hood ornament for my little truck. Not really pissed off though, I hate cleaning animal guts off my vehicles.

[BenelliSEI]

This morning I suddenly realized I have a lot of projects “up in the air”. Pissed me off and i need to get busy!

Race car needs the LF upright replaced.
Volvo (after 3 years of no issues) has developed an oil leak from somewhere?
Lm650 front is done, just need to drop it!

[Don R]

 I just wrote a long post about the no no. exhaust pipes I ordered from a new to the market seller.  It disappeared before I hit post so I'll take that as a sign. I'd prefer not to use their name so they don't turn it up in a search.
 There's a rumor they may be trying to see if my order can make it out of customs. I think they owe 11 sets to 6 guys in our group buy.
 And feeling like I can't say how I really feel is what pisses me off.
