    Gardner construction could take as long as TWENTY YEARS.

    Are there also "fines doubled when roadwork present" signs as well?

    Condo Parking Theft Deterrent

    Most don't do the engraving but for everything else they've met the suggestions at Tim Hortons.

    Law Enforcement - The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.....

    Re: OPP wants to be in politics now I want to be a police officer.. So I can stand around for $68 an hour and make sure those lazy construction workers don't get any lazier when everyone knows if they weren't so lazy and shames to their parents they could be building condos instead. Which I...

    Law Enforcement - The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.....

    Re: OPP wants to be in politics now If rates of violent crime are going down then budget increases are not needed. Also, the job of traffic pylon does not require a police officer. It can be done by a highschool kid for free as part of their community service requirement.

    Law Enforcement - The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.....

    Re: OPP wants to be in politics now The police can run all the ads they want. It's ridiculous how their budgets increase every year when the rates of violent crime continue dropping year after year since leaded gasoline was phased out. Taxpayer anger? How about the fact that police get paid...

    Provincial politics

    Voting is one of my favourite things to do. It's the one and only time that I get to make a countable choice regarding the rich and powerful. I wish I could vote more often.

    Using depression-era slave labourers isn't a fair comparison. Starving people will work without safety gear for pennies a day to try and avoid death just 1 day longer. Sometimes they fall off the girders because they don't have a rope harness or got dizzy due to lack of food. This is immoral...

    Provincial politics

    The losers can't do anything except wait till the next election. The winner is off to somewhat represent the constituents and has no idea who the decliners are or why.

    Provincial politics

    Why would a pol care about spoiled or declined ballots? They only need to win by 1 vote. They don't need to make sure they have a majority of the ballots, they only need to make sure they have 1 more of the valid ballots counted than the next largest number. If there are a million ballots...

    The feeler gauge snapped off. :(

    I haven't yet done it. I bought a no-mar Estwing rubber mallet on sale at CT. I'll most likely get to it on Monday in part because I need to study and in part because I don't want my neighbour turning on his laundry duct while I'm doing stuff. He tends to run it a lot on the weekend due to...

    The feeler gauge snapped off. :(

    I've rolled the bike away for today. I'm going slow on this because I don't want to **** **** up. So where I stopped was the conclusion that my hand does not appear to be enough to separate what is probably a form of silicone which acts as glue. The black goop. So I wondered if what is needed is...

    This is what I'm dealing with in terms of trying to figure out how to get the cover off the sealant without damaging stuff. https://dl.dropbox.com/s/6ph6nkzdd146xl9/Photo%202014-05-29%2013%2012%2033.jpg The path shown in this diagram is how the sealant is applied...

    The feeler gauge snapped off. :(

    Magnet no good in part due to springs being magnetic. Decided to take cover off. I have now run into a problem. The sealant is like glue. I can't figure out at the moment how I can break that seal. The shop manual doesn't give instructions on where/how to break sealant.

    The feeler gauge snapped off. :(

    The intake valve is the one visible in the middle of the page between the numbers 3 and 4. Now I am nervous because it looks like it could potentially have flown under the camshaft or even down below where the chain goes. Oh boy.

    This is what the top looks like: https://dl.dropbox.com/s/of9s3isi9fwl4qa/Photo%202014-05-28%2021%2046%2020.jpg This is what it looks like without the cover from one of the pages in the manual. There is an overhead view on the following page...

    I'm in Oshawa. I'll be checking my shop manual after dinner to see if it has good pictures I can share.

    The feeler gauge snapped off. :(

    It is my fault, I did bend the Motion Pro feelers a bit more to make them fit the tight angle a bit better for the intake so they wouldn't enter at an angle which probably fatigued the metal more and perhaps a bit too much force on the larger size feeler. I was trying to dial it in "just right"...

    The feeler gauge snapped off. :(

    Would it really fit into that little valve porthole that also contains the rocker arm? Due to the flatness of the piece I'm also worried it may have slipped potentially under the valve and falling onto the piston head below. It would have been closed when this happened but I had to push the bike...
