This may be a repeat but in this case it's so brilliantly stupid I must share some more. A feller with a whopping drug problem, among other things, and a motorized bike was a fellow employee a while and for a few days this was his mode of transport. Yup. that's duct tape holding the intake and carb on and she's leaky. I can only guess at how that all ended. We had to tell him that red hot ticking thing dripping fuel can't be left in the break room.

But I really have to give it to him. This thing's an engineering masterpiece, the literal embodiment of perfection ! While it lasted ....

Maybe it ended like this. I hope not.

With mine i was having a hard time tuning the main jet at wide open throttle with the F2 exhaust. I ended up puting on a reed and a windowed piston in it for the air the pipe needed. and went from a 36 tooth sprocket to a 40 tooth. Changing sprockets made it easer to test wide open throttle. i got it tuned now, and my last ride the expansion chamber pipe hit for the first time at wot. and wow. Use to with the 36 tooth i`d get to 42mph and it`d putter out, now with the 40 and before i tuned it i would hit 38mph. but now i have it tuned better with the f2 i`m back up to 42mph, even with a bigger back sprocket and alot more bottom end.

Finally done except for a different color, might use smoked chrome paint including g the frame View attachment 17643

I used rattlecan spray chrome on some tube steel I made a tv wall mount out of and it looks like I bought it. Traditional metallic steel finish on top of a white primer. Use a flat black primer and it comes out darker and, I don't know, tougher looking. Farted around with a wheel rim and it came out cool but decided it didn't belong on the car. Black chrome, sort of. Might look nice on that.

Waiting at the breast center. The ol lady is having a biopsy of a 2mm thing they found d during a mammogram. I really don't like Dr offices or clinics . It not just the hard uncomfortable chairs either. The doc said it was the smallest she's has ever done. So hoping for the best.

This belongs in the Cannabis thread but I suddenly got a little weird about publicly posting too much over there. Paranoid. But I did want to show what I came up with. Kept the 2z2x4' grow tent and started a single White Widow plant in it a few days ago. Put up a new 4x4'6' tent - it cost all of $65 delivered and is of nice quality. Reused the fan and lights from the shower. I added a VivarSpectra p1000 grow light in the center. Took the two Feit twin 2' tube lights I had been using and connected them with some scrap aluminum brackets I saved out of an old tv. The P1000 came with some cool little ratchet pulleys so I ordered a few more. Makes it easy to adjust the height. With the bracket and pulleys the two outboard tube lights neatly frame that P1000. Looks like the inside of a dirigible in there with the various cables and wires.

Cant wait to see how they respond, you`ll have that tent full come harvest. With my 4x4 tent i got me some of these plastic containers 4.8ft x1.8ftx 6in for the bottom of the tent, 2 of them, they will take up all the bottom space and set the fabric pots on wire rack for proper drainage. It made for easy cleanup. and testing the runoff of water. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Project-Source-Project-Source-69-QT-Clear-Snap-Lid-Tote/1003095826

I went to the Doc today for a yearly renewal of a pill i take. Got to talking to him about some of my ptsd issues and i forgot alot of that stuff is not on my records. And my doc dont know. Not even the 20 surgeries i had when i was 7 years old. Ya see when i was 17 i started having grand mall seizures and evaluated by a neurologist and treated, That he knows but the rest he dont i have bi-polar, borderline autistim, dyslexia and ptsd. and some reason when getting evaluated way back my neurologist asked if i had any missing time events and did a post hypnotic regression, thats when i found out i was abducted., the neurologist asked if i wanted on disabilty the rest of my life cause of all the issues i had not the abduction,or he could just mark down the epilepsy bit on record, if i didnt , and to make it easier for future jobs.. But anyway my doc today asked what tramatic event i had to get ptsd so i told him my last neurologist did a post hypnotic regression and found out i had been abducted. but i dont remember none of it. Think it scared him. I wish all that stuff was on record, or maybe not huh fk it, hope the white padded van dont show up lol

Three out of four took right off and so far are happy little campers.

I started two more seeds in dixie cups. One shot up right away, the other sort of stalled. Don't know what it's doing, if anything, but until it looks either more dead or more alive I'll just leave it alone. So I'll have at least four Bruce Banners in that tent. Was hoping for five but that might be a bit tight. I gave the first three their initial fertilizer dose of 50% solution of Espoma this morning, then it'll be guano the rest of the time. Espoma was recommended by a friend. Seems good for seedlings but the bat shit makes them take right off after that. I figure late February for this batch. There's a White Widow doing nicely is a small grow tent that'll be ready a bit sooner. Definitely making more butter - I really enjoyed that first attempt.

I got interested in this and since in New York legal MJ is here for the foreseeable future there might be some employment opportunities opening up. Been looking. Read somewhere that states like Colorado have peaked and the industry is in a slump so I wonder about all of it long term. DIY is very easy but not for everyone so I imagine there'll always be some legal market but believe it'll have to go through some market adjustment and winnowing

I'm curious what site that is. I tried this one: The Forteana Forums and got this. Surprising, don't think I ever went there before

Pretty sure that is the correct site you brought up. I know they have a notice to members that they are not accepting any new members at the moment because of some changes they are making to the site. The notice has been up for about 2 weeks. as to why it would tag you as banned, I don't know. A glitch, maybe? I don't know. xxxx2
