The flip side are those who don't even wear a watch because they have a pocket watch (i.e. cell phone) at all times.

Hey, he immediately got the Lily Tomlin reference I made to a pic of my daughter sitting in an oversized chair. Therefore, he must be old (just like me, since I made the reference).

Hey OSP, stopped at Wally world today. I had suddenly noticed how faded my Jeep bumpers and fenders are looking after only a few months here.

anyway I picked up turtle wax trim restorer. easy as hell to use. wipe on with applicator, (almost the consistency of water) then wait a few minutes and wipe off.

I can't say how long it will last but it definitely made things look 100% better.
supposed to be good for 3 months.
they had Mother's (or meguiar's) back to black as well.

Haha, do you think he walked 15 miles to school, uphill both ways, through 2 feet of snow too??

No friends or family members with a screwdriver and wrench? Any car parts store has loaner tools too, and you can do it in their parking lot.

You forget where I live - that's entirely possible here

Ok... So I changed the oil... ugly. It already runs better...

I tore apart the front brakes... ditto on the ugly... Whole bunch of nasty shit in there... ordered a rebuild kit, stainless line, and new pads... should be here for the rebuild next weekend.

I took a pic of the inside of the caliper and all the nasty gunk in there...

Still looking for a cheap o-ring chain... everywhere I look they seem more expensive than what I'm looking for... AND when I do find the right price, they're all out of stock. Normally I wouldn't skimp here, but it's a fucking 25hp bike... pretty sure any 520 chain would be more than adequate. In fact, the one that's on there would probably work if cleaned up, but I think I'd be best served just replacing it rather than fucking around trying to clean up the old neglected chain...

Yeh, you will be plenty fine on any 520 chain

Gunk in the brakes as in "holy hell I don't know how it's possible it was stopping" or "yuck that is just dirty"?

Or as in "Why the hell did I ride this home?"
