The symphony orchestra was asked to play under the direction of dogs

Dogs were the main conductors and their wagging tails were the conductor's baton. The tempo and rhythm were set by displays of different delights: food, toys, and goodies.

Diana to the doggie chiropractor today for an adjustment and a workout in the water treadmill.

The treadmill is for 5 minutes in 14 inches of water and I can see that she has to put a lot of effort into it. I once tried to figure out how much more work a water treadmill needs versus a dry treadmill. Answer: it's very complicated.

Cotter pins?

If so:
1) straighten the bent 'feet' until they align with the rest of the cotter pin.
2) place tip of screw driver through loop of cotter pin.
3) 2x4 fulcrum for screw driver or hammer on screw driver to remove cotter pin.

Pedal crank cotter bolts are usually headless bolts that have a taper ground on one side that engages a flat on the crank shaft. Usual routine is to back off the nut until it's flush with the end of the thread, and administer a sharp rap to the nut with a brass hammer.

132 The Victor press looks like it would work. But looking over the geometry of the cotter bolts they seem... disposable. Unfortunately the vintage of the crank makes them irreplaceable. I'll try the press idea, maybe some experimental hammering with a sacrificial nut on the thread end, but if they don't move I think the longterm answer is to drill and blind tap the crank housing in the frame, blast and soak out all the old lubricant, and install a zerk fitting.

A couple-three heat n' cold cycles can really help break loose the stubborn parts, and the heat cycle especially, can help "draw" a good penetration oil (.. I favor "Kroil"), down into the joint.

If those don't work, take off and nuke it from orbit. It'll be the only way to be sure.

It's difficult to express how much your prayers help. Apparently the neck injury is not their priority. They are more concerned about her concconcussion.They just took her up for a CT scan 15 minutes ago. She's awake but not alert. Thanks again for your prayers.

You know the Yamaha logo. Three "crossed" tuning forks. Yamaha has been a maker of musical instruments for a long time. And they used their knowledge of harmonics, to REALLY make the two-stroke expansion chamber exhaust, really SING. That is using the reflected interior sound waves serve to vacuum OUT the out-rushing exhaust gasses from the exhaust port, which REALLY generated a LOW pressure area in the cylinder, right when the piston exposed the Transfer Port in the cylinder wall.

History given, Yamaha carried on this knowledge in the V-Max intake port system, using a set of butterfly valves in the ports. Opening in concert with increasing RMPs, this resulted in some really OMG handlebar grabbing acceleration.

Which in such a short wheelbase bike was... well, it DID focus one's attention! Much more sudden "hit" than a turbocharger, but a very similar effect in "boost".

I rode one. ONCE.

232 "Dogs were the main conductors and their wagging tails were the conductor's baton. The tempo and rhythm were set by displays of different delights: food, toys, and goodies."

I think I'm more interested in seeing the entire performance... such as it would have been... rather than just the featured excerpts.

Unless they did the movie trailer thing of putting all the good part in the ad and everything else was just the orchestra getting progressively more frustrated with the dogs.

So, Hollweird has run out of ideas, so I'll write their next script for 'em.

Featuring a goat on a medium sized farm, who has found where all the wild Pot grows, and aims to corner the market on the stuff, wreaking havoc and raising hell on every other critter on the farm, striving to have his way and to WIN.

Name of the movie?

"Cabrito's Way".

242 In case anyone is wondering, I have ridden one motorcycle once in my life. My biker compatriots put me on I think a 2 cycle 250 and I promptly flipped it on myself, damaging the handlebars and denting the gas tank.

You know that guy in the pickup truck, following all the sexy, bad boy bikers, picking them up when their rides break down? Yeah, that's me.

I just do not possess the multiple hand foot coordination for riding and nobody ever really held it against me as a moral fault. They were like, Holy Shit, you're not a rider. Forget it.
