  1. looks like the drum brakes haven't been used. Have you tried pulling the rear brake while the drum is off to see if its working like it should? Maybe pull the brake pads and look again

     

     

    Did the brake shoe contact the drum around the area where the spring attaches?

     

    Its hard to diagnose from the picture but I wonder if the shoes had been seized to the brake shaft and the shoes moved not the way they were intended to.

     

    Just a guess

  2. I like it but I also didn't expect it to be a the next best thing since sliced bread.

     

    For me I downloaded it on three devices without an issue and it only took me 11 minutes each.  I like some of the changes and some of the other changes are purely cosmetic. I haven't found any issues just had to get used to it.

     

    I do find it faster to do certain things and easier to go from app to app 

  3. I ran both and I started running more Dots for the fact I could sell them easier after I was finished.  I also had to run dots for the class I was racing

     

    I used to think they lasted longer but I don't think they last that much longer unless buying a set of endurance slicks.

  4. This has been a huge problem for the RR and VFR's of those years. Big problem was that they attached it to the aluminum frame but left an air gap so no heat sink. I was told to get some heat sink paste and apply it between the R/R and the frame to help keep it cool.

     

    I built an RR with a complete Carbon fiber Monocoque frame and had to move the R/R behind the motor. From a VFR website I found that people were getting a CPU aluminum heat sink and mounting it on the R/R to help with the heat issue. I mounted mine on a heat sink and also mounted a small cpu fan since mine was behind the motor.  I never had an issue after that.

  5. My wife is actually considering making our own food for the guy. I'm not too sure about this idea - so if anyone has any thoughts on it let me know. She's been doing some reading up, and you can actually end up saving some money and also get to know the protein quality (chicken/turkey/whatever) that goes into the grub. Anyway, interested to hear if anyone knows anything about this.

    I have a friend that buys meat that people seemed to forget about in their freezers or from stores that  past the sell date. Her dogs eat everything from deer to prime rib LOL.  It works for her but I think its too much work. 

    I do know that feeding Danes healthy food and following the slow grow program can add years to the puppy's life. 

     

     

    here is something else to check out

  6. Well I used to work in the ICU for children and ran a heart lung machine called ECMO. The pump alone can hold 2-4 units of packed red blood cells, Platelets and Albumin. Some babies can go through a lot of blood quickly. I'm always very thankful to the people that donate and we always made sure we didn't waste the blood we got. Also it doesn't last that long and always needs to be available.

    Just think, children that are receiving chemo may need blood transfusions or platelets every week or more and these are the healthy ones. The sick ones like the ones I used to see might receive blood two or three times a day.

     

    So for all those who donate I thank you and my last motorcycle accident I almost needed blood. My Hct was very low but I was asymptomatic. Lets just hope we have enough people that do donate and don't get pissy when they call. 

     

    As far as the donation of blood and the red cross charging please.... Ever wonder how much it costs to  draw it,  separate the blood components, test it, store it, ship it, and to be insured. Those people in their white lab coats aren't cheap.
