    Funny you can't learn anything from osmosis and if we can I sure hope that it would be math! :rolleyes:

    You and me both. Annotated bibliography is on schedule for the weekend. What was I thinking going for another degree at my age?

    Great looking bike, Dave. I wonder how many tickets one could get with that bike - grin.

    Bravo in going back to airbox...the engineers knew what they were doing ...PODS suck!!! try riding in the rain had a buddy get stuck under a bridge for 2 hours waiting on a monsoon to quit so he would not fill his engine with water...and it was sunny when he left... he put airbox back in afterwards. He thought he had his Suzuki running good after putting back in airbox and synching and adjusting his bike ran like it was new.. No more flat spot or adjusting idle

    I've had that though a lot recently. Then I remember that my pension is tied to my pay rate, and my pay rate is determined more by by level of education than it is my years of service. Master's degree it is then.

    Osmosis is the key to life, and so-called chemiosmotic coupling ---the pumping of protons, stripped off from the Hydrogen atoms in food and then driven across the bacterial or mitochondrial membrane, which in turn drives the synthesis of the ATP energy fuel used in cellular metabolism --- is how all (every last one) form of life on this planet operates. It's a very curious way of creating energy, and the discovery of this process and its probable evolutionary roots neatly solves the "which came first chicken-or-the-egg?" problem.

    Indeed as I have realized also that it is not the amount of years but the three highest years you where paid that determines what your pension us.
    I am also onto a higher degree as well currently AAS in Diesel Technology, now going for a BS in Human Services- then onto a Masters but we will see one term at a time!

    Finds for the bike several oil filters yeah original handle bar end caps
    shorty grab bar
    Ok extra tutoring for math done!
    3rd coat of clear on engine head done!
    Crud DMV time that probably means an hour or two.
    After that Sothern Oregon University Appt.
    hopefully continue with search of garage or reassemble of the valves into the head- probably that reassembly of valves into the head then search of garage.
    Grandbabies with their parents and off I go.

    No idea whet the rest of the post is about, way above my pay grade, but egg definitely came first. By definition, a chicken would be a creature that came from an egg, no? Not borne of egg, then it's not a chicken! And now I'm thinking of Macbeth and the whole "not of woman born" thing. This forum takes me down some strange roads.

    What did I do with my Yamahas today?-- I moved them out of the way so I could get the Green Monster out for a spin.

    Kroil to the cylinders and swapped the clutch cable. Seeing if I can get the rust bucket to unstick. 3 cylinders seem free-ish 4th is just holding the Kroil/penetrating fluid mix for the last 3 days. Trying to get it out of neutral to rock it. How's everyone's day going? New to the motorcycle world. Looking for homies.
