No more drivetrain or check engine lights. No longer smokes like an old td42 off the line either. No boost control was fun until computer said no. I do prefer the computer agreeing with the engine more then having unregulated boost then limp mode. Freeing up the actuator was a complete pain in the hole, but it was a success. First attempt was an epic fail. Wastegate went from stuck shut to being stuck wide open. But my foolish persistence paid off.

Seeing Valentino Rossi get comfortably beaten by all the other Yamaha riders. He has to see his time is over.

Well, firstly my brother finally got my car regoed. He drives it, has for years, i have no need for it but like it, so he pays all the stuff for a car he couldnt afford. Anyhow, tge rego lapsed last month, so it was funds keeping mine pink slipped only. In the interim he had been driving my grandpas car, and complaining about it. Its a 2017 toyota prius c. So yeah, theyre slow. But my ute is at the mechanics and my courtesy car is a 1.3L yaris. It doesnt have bluetooth so im guessing its maybe a 2010 or something. So i threw it down. The race to 60 of the century. Both cars cannot keep up with busses off a green light. Ive never driven the prius, but i reckon it will smash the yaris off the line. And, i dont think street racing laws apply to anything that cannot get to freeway speeds on a down hill on ramp. Im pretty sure you can boil an egg in less time then it takes to get the yaris to 100kmh. The slowest car my brother owned was a 1990 toyota sprinter, jap import, with the 1.6 that was the sports one that reved to 8500 before ignition cut, but it was slow as anything. Fun to drive with its dog box and short gears, but deplorably slow. My then 09 mistsubishi express killed it, and thats the slowest car ive had. So its gunna be a snail race. I still reckon I'll lose.

Had a good laugh about Melbourne's Port Philip council passing a motion condemning nuclear weapons:

A modest drop in temperatures into last evening and through the night. Perfect sleeping temperature.

In 1997 I was at a militaria auction and I bought a water colour painting of the sinking of the Bismarck for $17 by what I have now learnt is a renowned maritime artist. Anyway I'm having a clean out of lots of my collectables an just had it appraised at between $800 and $1200, happy days.

It would make myself and many others feel good if you could reveal the source of your forbidden fruit.

Well, pretty much everything from an average 16 hour work day felt a whole heap better then the conversarion with my ex wife to not sit on it and monitor what sounds like my kid has appendicitis. My brother almost died years back. Mine burst. Hers burst years back. So maybe not a ride in an ambulace, but get on top of it. My brother has a janky scar, mines not too bad, my ex, well, hers got covered by the extraction of my little mate 10 years ago. But my average day was a tonne better compared to the worse news.

Finally got the time to test fit my plenum, dual 60mm tb and carbon cold air. It's been a work in progress for too long. I still have to clean it up and paint.

Day full of pleasant small things, it was nice.
Not nearly so hot as last three days, a long-awaited parcel turned up, ute rear speakers arrived too, work went well and I was fed lunch by my brother's wife (whose accent sounds like a dead ringer for Lady Sovereign). Dry roads, chilly air-con in the ute, missed the school zones, traffic mostly good. Sitting in the traffic at one point, I looked up and noticed some nuffy has deliberately burned two stripes into the passenger side sunvisor and headlining with a lighter. Never noticed it before! But the day was otherwise so chilled, I just went "Yeah, whatever" and barely gave it another thought. |

Watching a bunch of yalla-yalla plumbers try to chop in a new boundary junction to a sewer and bust the water main in two places while doing it.
Syd Water are still on the job - I think a burst main in proximity to an opened sewer line is not your regular repair call. |

My 10 year old son got discharged from hospital. He had his appendix out last night for good reason, but he is only on panadol for pain releif, it was keyhole surgury, so no mega scars like i copped 20 years ago when mine burst. So my little mate is doing really well.
Obviosly its going to take some time, but i mean, panadol a day later for pain releif? I was on the good stuff back in the day, and i wasnt much older at the time. As a parent, i genuinely love my little mate, well, i dislike anything thats detrimental to him. So im happy, whilst hes not 100%, he will be back soon, im just happy the operation went well, he is as good as you can be, it will be fine, but the little big unit will be better off in the long run. |
