Took the Guzzi for a ride today. When I got home my wife noticed the safety inspection had expired
last September. Went to the station and the inspector called me right in. He checked the lights,
horn, brakes, etc, and said everything looked good. He wrote up the paperwork, put the sticker on
the bike, and then said, "What's that puddle under your bike?"

I looked down and sure enough, there was a puddle about a foot wide on the concrete. I told him it
must have come from the car just before me. Then I reached down and got a dab on my finger.
Gasoline. The right carb was leaking like a cow ****ing on a flat rock.

But, he let the inspection stand! I guess after about 15 years of inspecting this same bike, without
a problem, he figured I'd fix it.

Had to order some carb parts. From Holland. Couldn't find them in US. Oh well.

I noticed my Honda was dripping a little oil a couple weeks ago. I
just topped it up and went on with my life. The next day it pumped out
2 quarts in 2 miles leaving a trail up into my driveway. I looked and
it was leaking around the oil filter housing. I fooled with it for a
few minutes and decided laying under a car with oil dripping in my
face was not what I wanted to do. This Honda is miserable to work on.
Harry will be happy, I paid the man. The filter base itself was bad.
On a lift, replacing it was trivial but under the car, not so much.

Shuda just rolled it over on it's side and replaced the base.

Hey, I change the spark plug on my chain saw every few years!
I don't sharpen the chain, though. I have two chains. When the one on
the saw gets dull, I swap it out with the other one, the one that I have
sharpened. Then I drop the dull chain off to get sharpened. I don't see
the problem in doing "the bizyness" with honest, local tradespeople.

You must not use your chain saw much or you just get used to a dull
chain.

Don't use it much. I'm not a lumberjack.



Did you know that Raymond Burr had a brother who was a lumberjack?
His name was Tim.

Wait a bit. He's looking up Raymond Burr's history.

Reminds me of an old cartoon of a woman standing under a falling tree
saying "Tim Who dear?"

I have a Dremel grinder. Sharpens the chainsaw quickly and easily. Very
convenient when cutting a bunch of stuff, and gets dull, or you clip a
rock, etc. not super science to sharpen a blade.
