Topic: A little heads up would have been nice!

Changed my fork oil in the basement last night. Smelled so bad that it woke my wife from a dead sleep. Needless to say, she was not happy. To make matters worse, I told her if she did the laundry and dishes tomorrow morning it should make the house smell better. Good thing we have a guest bedroom

If it was the original oil, well the Japs use fishoil where ever they can and it does get a little biological smell to it...

Is that true? It did smell a lot like dead fish. It was definitely the original oil.

Mine was the same, the wife thought the cat had died in the garage. Bad smell.

Yes yes its true!  

And they used high altitude (HA) Jap air in their tires. They would run a little faster that way. Did you ever notice after changing the first tire and using low altitude air it seemed to run a little slower?

Less friction or some such.

We would put a hose from tube to tube and try and save as much of the HA air as possible for the next tube.

Well I never! HA HA

Yeah, high alright.

I think someone on here is a little high themselves.  

[beelsamin]

HA air...LOL, best laugh I've had all month

[robdrobd]

looked like pea soup.

[MCRider]

Tee Hee.

I miss those days interacting with customers across the parts counter.

Tee Hee.

HA air!?  From where?  The top of Mt Fuji?!?! 

...leaving for Denver in a few hours.
I'll have to bring some of that HA-air back to SEAtown~

[Duke McDukiedook]

Yeah, get the clean stuff west of the front range, that Denver air is pretty dirty.

Here's a handy hint you can drop on the missus when you get out of the dog box, a little old perfume added to the vacuum cleaner filter before she hoovers your shed floor will make things smell a lot nicer.
When you are allowed back in the house you can tell us how that went down as well.
