I’m working in the garage, watching it rain with the sun out, depending on which door you look out. Hope you’re doing well Ms Susan

 

Good Sunday afternoon to all. Raining here off/on all day. Back from Church, and back to the job search endeavor. Getting a bit scary lately, with biggies like Intel and Dell laying off US employees in the 10,000++ range. Darn job market has been tight as hell already. This is going to make it even tougher.

 

Best of luck to you, Tom. I hope you find something soon.

It’s been raining hard all day here. So far about 3 1/2” in the rain gauge. Phone won’t stop beeping over the flash flood warnings.

 

Now at 4 1/2” of rain so far. And it keeps coming down.

 

When I stand and walk around, I feel like crap.
When I sit, I feel OK but I cough a lung out.

I need someone to rub my chest and sing 'soft kitty'.


Well?

 

Penny?

 

Latest update: rain coming down hard. Over 7 1/4”. Almost all of it since 9am today.

 

Saw that once on I 75, looked like it was a nice canoe, at one time. Nobody got hurt, it was half way up the embankment

 

I don't see no canoe?!

 

Sorry you feel bad, but no

 

Someone gave me a Yakima rack for my truck. My plan was to do just that...haul a canoe. After looking at the structure and design of the rack and mounting brackets , I gave it away.

 

Finally got around to doing some troubleshooting today. I have a '92 Suzuki Bandit 400 that hasn't run in almost 2 years. Out of the blue, just quit starting. My first thought was: I hope it's not the igniter box ('92 Suzuki equivalent to an ECU) as they are no longer available from Suzuki. I checked both coils, OK. I have 12v to both coils. I have good grounds. I show timing pulses to the igniter. I have 12v to the igniter and a good ground there. Damn, that's it...off to fleabay. Found a new OEM box...$1k. That may be what the bike is worth. More looking shows 2 places in the UK that build aftermarket replacements...$330 and $570. Better, but still not convinced I want to spend that kind of money, no matter how fun this bike is to ride. Texted a friend, who also has a baby Bandit. He pointed me to a fleabay seller from China, Chineseum repop for $40, said he was thinking of buying one to have on the shelf in case. The part number they list as compatible doesn't cross reference with anything I can find...though it may be a Japanese or Euro market compatible number. I guess $40 isn't too big of a gamble , worse comes to worse, I drop $330 on the British repop. The $570 unit is re-programmable, which I don't need. Should have it in 9-14 days. Would be nice to hear it run again...

 

It's amazing that some people know enough to breathe...
