So I'm still here. I don't get to come to the site to often now that I'm working 6days a week. the time that I'm home there are generally other people here too.
I had yet more fun with the brakes on my car. there was a decent rain for the first time in around four months. So I decided to test if the proproting valve was working right, (it had been on dry roads) at 90km/h. I did a complete loop crossing into the lane to my left (of course I did this when there were no other cars around), then another half turn all the way to the edge of the shoulder, very close to one of those little poles with the reflectors on them.
so I switched to mintex pads on the front brakes today. hopefully that will fix the problem and I won't have to go back to stock pads on the back. the last batch of stock pads squeaked like the hinges on the gates of hell.
NEW MYTH BUSTERS IS ON so I'm now writing in the adds. I also did a bit of work on my new (to me) transmission, the current one pops out of reverse. I've got all the good bits in the manual found and have done some cleaning on the greasy beast. I bought basicly all the new parts you can for them. then while reading the manual found out I don't have the special tool to change the parts
in other news I'm probabily going to get rejected my maya at the bakery before the end of october.
bye for now
