Finished my taxes. Fog lifted and crystal clear skies now. Went out a fired up the Hog and fuel is pouring out the overflow tube.
Just after I rebuilt the carb 6 months ago.

Hog leaking?
Tap on the side of the fuel bowl.
Sounds like the float is stuck.

Yep. That's why I rebuilt the carb. Dumping fuel into the crankcase.
Either I'm going to sell it or install a S&S carb.

Mike ... that's a nice looking bike. Don't sell it !!! (unless you wanna make me a deal I can't refuse ).

I didn't get to ride mine all that often but sure miss it now that it's gone.

(don't miss the oil spots much, though !!)

daum I are tard.
Feel kinda like I've been hanging out with Pistol's associates.( I did a long time ago when I was young and not real bright).
Got chunks of steel all over the yard. Got the deck beams, frame rails, and cross braces cut and mostly cleaned up.
Put some buffalo bratwurst on the grill today. It was good but I'm a bit disappointed in the seasoning, or lack of. The cabbage and taters sure helped it out a bunch, along with the fresh ground horseradish. Sure wish I could find some fresh root to grind. My stash is running low.
An absolutely beautiful day today. Mid 60's and sunshine.
Wife is complaining that I'm smelling like a grunt. With that comment, guess I'll go in and use up about 60 gallons of hot water in order to get spiffied up to her specs.
OBTW, has anyone noticed that their electric bill has gone through the roof? I used less electricity this month and the bill was a good 30% higher. Must be using more gas rather than coal to generate.

Morning all,
Gonna be starting later than normal now (instead of 0600 its 0630 ).
Added a third driver to our car-pool. I only have to drive every third week I think with the money saved on fuel, I can justify the purchase of a Smarty. (Actually, I justified it the moment I heard of it, this is just to justify it to the CFO).

Where's the ?

This is my favorite time of the year! Chinese New Year! It's great not having at least 30 emails every morning to read from the Chinese with their list of issues. But come next Monday, I'll have at least 150 emails to deal with from them.

1) permenatly call this thread " the Bull Pen, or The Manure Pile".. 'cause its where all the BS that wont go anywhere else gets put....

2) Hogs are suppossed to leak.... its a trademark thing...

3) "I like Chinese"..... see Monty Python if you dont understand that one...

4) Contaminated???...............snip snip........not worried.... .

5) Honda's have a tendency to let a simple little floor jack punch holes through the floor when you dont put them in the right spot.......daughters boyfriend in hiding till I calm down.....

It's traditionally been called 'The Water Cooler', it's ALWAYS been called that. Tradition is good, change is BAD!

I'm gonna make more coffee.
