I still have a functional GB01. I had to do some work on some contacts, but it works. I think the massive ground plane may have had an issue. I am looking at a power/battery upgrade, and the backlight.

Feeling a drag. Like i have missed some concepts and need to go back. LearningFrench w/alexa is really good at explaining things in a way I can understand. Outling the rules (when applicable, it is french) and showing the conjugation’s. I get ads on YT for this “learn real french with french TV” and it looks like an interactive subtitle thing. They featured Lupin in the latest runs, which i enjoyed. I may have to look into the service. One foot forward everyday though.

The number of people that ask if i meant C when I say Sierra is too damn high.

STOP RESISTING

I am using it to learn French. I also appreciate the lesson structure as it relates to available time. I use it on breaks, or in the morning before i start work. I hope, once i finish the duolingo course work, i can get some tutoring to really learn it. I agree it is a beneficial use of time, as opposed to social media.

Hercule Poirot is the reason i am learning French

I used to work field service. I would drive all around and fix machines. If i used the customers restroom, and they had single ply TP, or the auto-magic paper towel dispensor spit out 6 inches, i knew that company was a bad place to work.

My bitcoin miners did this to my garage roof. I was waiting for a police search for a grow operation.

Damn, my inlaws wanted xmas photos of all the family holding guns. They did this before. Even at the time i thought, “i dont think this conveys good will towards man” as well as you may think. I just wore my anarchy raccoon shirt :)

I still have a bulk of those CD’s (not the boxes anymore). I keep them in a binder with the CD holder sleeves. Same for my drivers, and operating systems. I have disks of going back to NT, 95b, and 98. I only started in to PC’ in 1998/9. I wish i had my original Voodoo3 driver disk. I remember buying that card in my way back from school one afternoon. I was so excited to install it.

I was skeptical of Steam when it launched as well. It has proven to be a good service.

fun with the GS (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 year ago by Thrawne to c/bmwmotorrad
 

Weeeelll, i installed some new side markers on the GS this weekend. Pulled the badges, mounted everything, wired it up, and test good. Decide Saturday gonna wash the bike. Hit it with the hose, wash it up, hit it with the armor all, leather conditioner, etc. fire it up, and it wont idle. Long story short, tracked it to the TPS harness from the Power Commander. When i had the clutch done at the dealer, they seemed to have caught the harness in the clamp ring of the throttle body. A little water on the wire and no more workey right. Pulled the clamp and harness. Soldered a splice in and back up and running. I was freaking out though for sure saturday morning.

At least it isnt safety related. Based on the article it seems to be emissions.

Lost my second primary coil within a year. May have to go OEM instead of ebay.

 

Stopped to get coffe on my way to work, as usual. Caught a guy i have ran i to a couple times, though he is usually trailering in his bike so he can ride home. It was a treat to see him riding in this morning :)

 

Got out this weekend for breakfast. Stuck behind skme trucks the whole way, but meh.

Ok, its been 110 plus for awhile in my area. My bike is parked outside, in shade, but still warm by the time i start home. I have noticed my front brake is softer after the approximate 30 mins on the highway. I started to look into high temp brake fluid, and came across motul 700 (i attached wrong image, i absolutely mean 700. Not 600 or 660.) I am thinking of dumping that in when i do my next oil change. Does anyone else have experience with higher temp brake fluids? Kinda curious if it will work better in the summer and winter.

Blazing hot here, but got out early for a nice little ride to a breakfast place a couple hours from home.
