Ordered a few small bits today and then my wife reminded me Canada Post workers are on strike. Piss me off.

given how long it seems to get anything done by Canada Post chances are you were going to be pissed off anyway

Touché !

 Do you remember when you could search for something as simple as a recipe and actually see one without registering, downloading someone's app, agreeing to receive Email alerts, text messages or signing away your unalienable rights?

Being sick at Christmas sucks, having to cancel plans to visit family for holidays, etc. Getting refrigerator cleaned out for being gone for couple weeks then getting sick just adds insult to injury.

Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas despite circumstances, reach out to friends if feeling lonely as you are not going to make them sick with a video call or phone call...

My neighbor cleans his ditch by piling leaves on the end of my ditch.   It pisses me off.

 I declined a medical test after getting good results of a slew of two MRI's a cat scan, a colonoscopy, an endoscope and two different types of ultrasound. I felt like the doctor was enjoying my good insurance a little too much. The nurse was a bit snarky when I told her that I was doing a wait and see since symptoms have cleared up anyway.
 She said she would inform my provider. I feel like I've been the provider. That term kinda pisses me off.

I decided to drag my dusty Harley Sportster out for my last ride in 2024. Rode 29 miles and stopped for fuel, and thought it a good idea to check tyre pressure as I haven’t ridden it in a few months. While pushing the tyre pump thingy onto the valve I discovered 2 broken spokes. WTF?

Rode home very carefully imagining more spokes breaking as I rode along (they didn’t, but my imagination was working overtime) and turned off the freeway onto the road where my storage unit is, and almost hit a Kangaroo! Fcuk! Parked the bike and jumped in my truck and noticed I had a parking fine. Great.

Oh well, that which doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, but 3 things in a row to piss me off was enough, so I went home. Happy New Year! ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Ha ha, I’ve received 3 fines for parking on my own footpath Dave. I went to court a couple of months ago and got off, I have another court appearance pending (when the harmonic balancer sh1t itself at 5am and as some arsehole had parked in front of my house I just managed to get it on the footpath with no power steering and no lights) but this time they’ve got me dead to rights so I’ll pay it ($119) which will help my “Not guilty “ plea for the previous occasion. To be honest I was more worried about the broken spokes and almost wearing a Kangaroo in suburbia. ;D

 I helped a friend "Uncle Robin racing" on you tube, set up his new to him Superflow engine dynamometer. It had belonged to a college and had sat for a while. He put a new control panel on it with a big screen for monitoring the vital signs. Anyway, we got the water flowing and were about to start the dyno mule engine when all of the fuel lines began to leak. We realized that the fuel cell needs more shut-off valves, since the fuel return line is below the fuel level, fuel can flow backwards from it. Robin cleaned up the fuel and we called it a day. He didn't want to start the intake and exhaust fans with the gas fumes present.
 And that pissed him off.

Classic motorcycle wannabees - these yahoo no-knowledge wannabees who take a perfectly good classic bike no matter WHAT the make and decide 'HEY- I'm going to make a CAFE RACER out of it, yeah, man, that'd be COOOOL - paint it flat black ("cause that's TUFF, right?? - With no balls to back it up!), take it apart, chop the frame, trash all the parts and then figure out there's a LOT more to building a (KOFF KOFF) "cafe racer" than they imagined, figure out they don't have the skill, brains or patience to put it TOGETHER again - not to mention the cost -  and sell the remains on Marketplace or some other place for an exorbitant amount and let "The Other Guy' deal with it! Might as well take the Mona Lisa or Michelangelo's David and spray paint 'em Day-Glo colors...If You Can't DO IT, DON'T!!  Just me, guys...old bikes are like CHURCH to me, man...I may not be the best builder on here, but I don't bastardize art.
