Remember back when you had in your hand. You put it in a place and said to yourself I won't lose it if I put it here...........yeah, right!!!

[Don R]

Hey Don, that's a good tip about adding a tee to drain the pipe while soldering! Frank, I applied a thick layer of the Waterweld putty all the way around the pipe extending well past the crack on either side, and firmly packed it into place. I also wrapped the epoxy tightly with that stretchy high voltage electrical tape to maintain pressure until it cured. The Waterweld is good #$%*; I also used it to seal a leaking fuel pump housing on a Honda Civic a couple of years ago, and so far it's still holding.

 Another plumbers tip is heat and solder the bottom first. It the bottom takes solder than the top will too. If you solder the top and there is a little water you can't get the bottom and it's a pain to take apart. An apprentice that would never listen comes to mind. 3" copper tube, lower floor of a hospital, 3am and he solders the top then can't get the bottom. I was able to jack it up enough to make the water run away long enough to get it done.

Another plumbers tip, if it's an open pipe with a slow drip that is just enough to piss you off, stuff fresh bread up the drippin end. Be sure ya can flush out the slush without fcuking up some fancy tap though...

Or as stated, solder from bottom first but burn a small steam hole up the top of the pipe behind joint, solder your joint 100% let it cool a bit then ya should be able to solder over your small steam hole .

vik... thank fcuk those days are over for me...!!!

OK boys and girls, you are off the hook for now. found the choke cable, I (shuffles and makes grunting noises) had put it back were it's been sitting for 5 years. first place I looked, honest.

[BomberMann650]

Managed to cut the sh!t out of my hands when washing down some case halves.
Feels like a half a dozen paper cuts.
Papercuts piss me off

[scottly]

I just got my electric bill; the extra cycling of the water heater due to the leak jacked up my usage by 50% over last month. I also just got the registration renewal notice for the 750; $53 for one year!!?? I think two years ago it was less for two years than for one year now. The governor of AZ added a $32/year "public safety fee" recently. 

[scunny]

Wish our rego was that cheap. $540 NZed ($325 US) a year for the privilege for bikes over 600 cc.

[scottly]

Yeah Scunny, that sounds expensive. Then again, to hear Terry talk, the wages are way higher down under than here, and you have cheaper medical care?

Your right about the medical care Scott, at least here in OZ.
After my accident in 2011 I'm sure I couldn't have gotten better care anywhere in the world.
No out of pocket expenses for me but all up the bill came close to $400'000.(Airvac with retrieval team was $30'000 alone)
The new National Disability Insurance Scheme covers my Physio and OT as well.
Previously I was forking out around $12'000 a year.

[dave500]

hitting dog #$%* with ya weed wacker really pisses me off,good for me i always scoop em up as soon as i see them!

[seanbarney41]

Holy fark Dave!  ...don't mess around when it comes to weeds!

[scunny]

New throttle cable for the MT50 arrived today, so in it went, set the oil pump, couple of kicks and she ring da dings into life, sadly, the revs climbed high into the power band, that's when I realised it didn't have a kill switch. Not wanting my baby to explode, I jabbed it into first and slid across the back lawn, feathering the clutch, with the front brake locked up, trying not to wheelie into oblivion, until I hit my target of the clothes line, and managed to stall the fire breathing monster.
Luckily, no-one to see me, otherwise that would have pissed me off.

Yep, I was pretty impressed at the amount of drips, hoses and tubes hanging out of you when I first met you at the hospital Brian, considering that you died 3 times on the track, the fact that you're still posting here speaks volumes for their good work.

Here on Maui, like other areas, we are in lockdown. A story I have witnessed once and heard about a few other times goes like this:
Children are playing in the street, they are from different houses in the area, usual kid play, tag, etc. Lots of contact. No masks, lots of noise.
Nice officer pulls up, gets out of the car (with a mask on) and asks them to get their parents.
Parents come out, officer very calmly and nicely explains the lockdown rules to parents.
Parents argue vehemently with the officer that they are exempt and should be left alone, for 5 minutes! Officer keeps trying to educate parents.
Officer gives up and issues a citation which here is a mandatory court appearance and potential $5000 fine.
Moral of the story, obviously, don't argue with the nice officer.
Some folks just don't know when to check their privilege.

[Terry in Australia]

Arseholes with no moral code piss me off. Last night, a couple of cops pulled over a turd in a porsche doing 90 MPH under the influence of drugs so the two cops decided to impound the car, and called for some backup, so another two cops arrive. They were all in the emergency lane when a guy driving a semi trailer had a heart attack and veered into the emergency lane, crushing all four cops, and killing them instantly.

Mister Arsehole then took pics of the carnage with his iPhone, and ran away, and when he got home, posted the pics on Facebook. What a piece of sh1t.........

[jgger]

It's people like Mr. Pussy that the term P. O. S. Was invented for.

[simon#42]

its hard to believe that anyone could do that .

[WhyNot2]

It is hard to believe.

They should snatch that mask off of him and make him walk around like the police man escorting him.

[RAFster122s]

A few drops of cyanide on his mask should do the trick

[scunny]

So the mighty MT50 is just about ready for sale, the gear change lever  got farkled by the kids, I made a bodge job to get by. Today I'm looking for a replacement, I've got 4 or 5 in the garage...somewhere !!!
I shall be joining the "what beer are you drinking" thread earlier than planned the way it's going.
EDIT..this little ponies front brake is kicking my arse..Big time. Against my better instincts, the beer is open, and I'm off to read the workshop manual.
It's only an itsy bitsy 50cc smpker for #$%*s sake.
ANOTHER EDIT.. It was the brake cable, since I re positioned the brake arm, it meant the cable was moving further, must have been gunged up. I have made up the poor mans cable repair system, and we will be good to go in the morning. thank you alcohol, saved my arse once again. 

[dave500]

yeah Terry that crap #$%*s total lack of respect for human life?hes known to police etc,but still even a "normal" hardened criminal wouldnt act like that peasant did,i still cant believe it,one officer of 31 years,killed just like that?

Yeah Dave, and it gets worse. Turns out the truck driver that was "having a medical emergency" in the early reports was possibly high on ice (meth) when he plowed into the four cops, so he (if he survives his heart attack) will possibly be joining Mister Pussey for eternity as a worthless piece of sh1t. I hope they both share the same cell and get the Corona Virus. If I had it, I'd go visit them and cough in their faces. And I reckon the cops guarding them would let me.

Yep, I went for a ride today and almost got cleaned up by a stupid fcuking womaan driving a Hertz retal truck. She was sitting on 90 KPH in the overtaking lane on the Hume (110 KPH) so when I got sick of sitting behind her I indicated and pulled into the left lane, and I'm sure the b1tch saw me and swerved into the left lane beside me? Luckily I swerved into the emergency lane and got around her and gave her the one finger salute, but I just thought that, even with so few vehicles on the road, the sh1t drivers and psycho's are still out there..............
