Sorry for anyone looking for a bike tip but someone sent me this and I just gotta share....I know I've been that woman....

Quote for the day:

'Whatever you give a woman, she's going to multiply.
If you give her a house, she'll give you a home.
If you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal.
If you give her a smile, she'll give you her heart.
She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her.
So - if you give her any crap, you will receive a ton of nuts.'

So keep it in mind and we will all be happy! Wink

Why wouldn't the filter substitute "excrement" for the offending word? I thought "nuts" was a substitute for a different word that can get filtered.

EssForty, That is a good idea. Do you have some kind of clip to keep it open to the right page? Maybe one of those cheap Home Despot spring clamps.

BTW, What I can see of your garage looks far too neat and clean, If you want, I can give you some tips on properly cluttering it up.

Yes, that's a nice thing about music stands. They have a little swing arm at the top or at the bottom that hold the sheet open where you want it. So you don't need to get anything else. Works perfectly as is.

As for the lack of clutter, it's not always that nice. Occasionally there is a greasy rag on the floor, or maybe I've put my 12 mm deep offset wrenches in the space set aside for the standard 12 metric wrench, or a 3.5mm allen wrench could end up in the 4 mm allen wrench slot. You know...really sloppy.

If you are working on the cam chain or the clutch. When you put the side cover back on. REMEMBER! to swivel the we toggle on the end of the clutch arm UP! It hang downs and once the cover has been torked up with a new gasket and sealant an infinite multitude of screws. when you try to connect the clutch cable there's NOT ENOUGH CLEARANCE FOR THE BLOODY THING TO SWIVEL UP, You will have to slacken everything off again and pop the cover out about a quarter of an inch just to turn the toggle up,,k

Oh Aye,nearly forgot.To empty petrol (gas) tank. Place suitable container beside bike, put length of garden hose, one end into tank other end into container, cut another length of hose about eight to twelve inches,and place one end of it about two inches into the tank beside the other hose, wrap a rag? cloth tightly round both hoses hold hand down on top of rag and place lips round the small length of hose (The end that's not in the tank) and BLOW or PUFF. Saves you getting a mouthful of petrol (gas) if you try to siphon it by sucking.. Then pass the time watching your neighbour scratching his head wondering how his hose has shrunk

Wouldn't it be easier, once the suitable container (I use a five gallon "jeep" jerry can) is in place, to simply pull the fuel line from the carb and place into the external can. Switch the petcock to pri -- done!

Pretty sure the old guys know this one, but, for those who dont.
When reinstalling a screw into metal or plastic & Not wanting to cut new threads, turn it the Wrong Way, holding light pressure in, so that when the start thread of the screw falls into the start thread of the hole, it will click, then turn to the right & it will run in in the same threads it came out of. This can save doing damage to the part being screwed into & save effort.

Use a cresant wrench to turn it.

I was trying to polish my T Kat fork brace today,it has a decent finish but it doesn't shine. Any way with very little elbow grease I found "Mothers Mag and Aluminum Polish" works like a charm,darn thing looks like chrome now.

Re: DAILY HOT TIP Reply #89 - 11/30/08 at 00:25:58 Something to add to your list of things to look at every now & then. The hoses that feed the washing machine. Pressure always on them, they get old. Anyother possible plumbing hassles that could be averted by an anual inspection? T^hink about it,, the flodd you save may be your own.
