RantMachine Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 f**k it, now my battery has died too. Which makes me realise, I've probably only ridden three times in the last month courtesy of the suspension and then the water pump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Old Git Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Wow! You must have really upset someone powerful to get all this luck (bad).Try sacrificing a chicken (or just eat a KFC meal). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RantMachine Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Thankfully my bad luck seems to be focussed entirely on the bike, life is going pretty well otherwise - maybe this is the balance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RantMachine Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Ran a fresh batch of oil through the bike to flush out any contaminated crap still in there before changing the oil filter. Another batch of clean oil will be going in after opening up the clutch this Saturday (which still isn't working ). This second batch of oil came out again looking awfully similar to chocolate milk... On the plus side, the coolant level doesn't appear to have dropped. And the oil didn't actually smell of antifreeze like the original contaminated batch, which hopefully is an indicator that it's not quite so horribly contaminated . So I'm going to assume that there must've still been a fair bit of contaminated oil lingering in the system on account of the original drain being done stone cold, and this has cleared it... But I think that once I'm back on the road I'll be monitoring my oil veeeery closely and doing some regular changes, even if just emptying the contents of the remote reservoir from time to time to check for contamination. Not convinced.Sooo... f**k it, I may have gone through all this expense and misery and achieved nothing more than a buggered clutch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RantMachine Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Only a day to go before I'm done with work for 2014, all my work in order and completed wherever possible, even dealt with the two last minute panics on Friday including getting all of the Spring 2015 catalogue images ready to go online at the start of the new year. Feeling pretty chuffed, looking forward to a well deserved break.Suddenly from nowhere, "We've ordered 80 photography studio & sales exhibition stands sets (the things I've been developing for the last year and a half that are finally replacing all of our conventional studios at the start of next year) for use in early 2015 and need you to complete the marketing display ASAP so they can print them in time"....Wow. Just wow. These are ruddy great 2300mm x 3100mm stands featuring every single product we do, and the design has been completely overhauled since I made the original version, so I'm pretty much doing this from the ground up. I'd been looking for an opportunity to transpose the layout from Photoshop to Indesign, but two days before Christmas was not what I had in mind. Looks like I'll be bringing this job home with me over Christmas. I like a challenge, but... f**k it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RantMachine Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 My place gave us a choice of a pub lunch or just keeping the money - I took the money, local pubs aren't that great anyway, one of them has rubbish food and the other is full of stuck up posh w**kers And my boss is doing lucky dip christmas gifts for all of us later. Hoping to get one of the food processors, a certain person threw mine away last year and I haven't replaced it yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
