What did you learn today?

[kneescrubber]

Disconnect the battery before removing the carb on a JD3020. Otherwise your screwdriver arcs on the starter igniting the fuel dripping out of the loosened carb

Definitely good to know. But I'm betting the owner's manual tells you to disconnect the negative lead to the battery before performing any maintenance.

Shit, did I just mirror Cablebandit?

As long as you have good lung capacity you're fine. I was about to run for the exinguisher

spraying a fire pull with a 2" water hose will result in an alarm and a visit from the fire dept.

Must be exciting to be you. I want to meet you some day and your lovely wife, but I'm not sure I want to be around you for very long.

I learned that cows kill 22 people in the US each year and the sharks kill about 6 world wide.

I can't wait for Discovery channel's Cow Week.

I saw many cows today while dodging lightning bolts between San Francisco and Weed. This information was percolating around my brain all afternoon. I was a-skeered they were gonna rush me. 

Alas, none of the lightnings intersected with any of the cows. That woulda been exciting.

[kneescrubber]

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that more cows are killed by lightning than humans.

[miles]

I can't believe that's true. Humans kill millions of cows every year- I doubt lightning kills more than a few thousand a year at the most.

[kneescrubber]

I see what you did there.

There are a shitload of parts in a VFR engine.

That doesn't look good. What gave it away?

[viffergyrl]

Losing third gear. Third gear is on the left but the dogs are on 6th gear (on the right). There were two dogs in the oil pan and the third one was still floating around inside. Things look pretty good in spite of the metal bouncing around. Some bearings, third gear, and sixth. We'll see how this all goes...

I've rounded the dogs on the dirt bikes but i've never had a gear explode.

On my KX 500 it jump out of 4th and shove it into 5th and broke off the pin on the shift drum so i couldn't down shift. This happend in the middle of a race (which i was winning). I was slipping the shit out of the clutch to keep riding. When i split the cases to fix it there is a plastic collar on the shift shaft for the spring. I had gotten the oil so hot that was a glob of plastic sitting in the bottom of the engine.

 Well 3rd, and 6th countershaft gears for starters.

 I suspect one of those 3 dogs has been broken for quite some time. The added stress on the other two eventually caused them to fail too. Bike has been a little flaky in 3rd since I got it from the second owner.

 The oil screen did it's job, but not many small pieces floating around in there. Everything else looks really good for 74K.

Murphy's Law states that if you get stuck behind a semi leaving the rendering plant, you will be unable to pass it until your turnoff.   

[MrsCablebandit]

I learned that when Merriam-Webster and Urban Dictionary don't quite agree, someone is going to have a different interpretation of a phrase than what was intended. 

A phone call and five minutes of laughter to the point of tears later, it's all good.

It's fairly innocuous - bird-dogging. But the confusion and hilarity that followed were totally worth it!

Actually, that's a big issue in my house (wife is former middle school teacher) and son did not include an answer to that problem. I was just stubborn and when I figured it out, it was too late to explain to son... He's also in middle school, where in this ridiculous world he doesn't get letter grades (report card says 'satisfactory' or 'excellent' or 'needs improvement' - such BS). Letter grades don't start until 6th grade.  Seems silly to me - kids should be told in more detail how they are doing, but that's for the rant thread...

Oh, and he does pretty well! (proud of kid!)

Bonnie and Clyde Ambushed and Killed (1934)
Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow were notorious robbers who went on a 21-month crime spree in the central US from 1932 to 1934. They captivated Americans during the "public enemy era" and continue to do so today through films and songs. Betrayed by a friend, Bonnie and Clyde were tracked, ambushed, and killed on a desolate stretch of Louisiana highway by a posse of officers using armor-piercing rounds. Though remembered primarily as bank robbers, Bonnie and Clyde actually preferred to rob what?
