Fettling SO Guzzi's Lesson #1

Do *not* put the rear brake switch unit in your mouth.

Other than that, work continues apace.

 

*boggle*

 

Well yes. me too. After fucking about for an hour I concluded the
switch was fecked, so I unbolted it and unconciously blew down the
little hole. Gawd know why. Anyway, brake fluid tastes shite -- even
microscopic amounts.

 

Go on, why not? because it tastes nasty? Because you electrocute
yourself? (Oh, I do hope so, because it's ages since we had a new Daft
Injuries Above And Beyond The Call Of Duty award). Becasue you can't
get it out again? Because the cats pissed on it?

 

Residuual brake fluid.

 

prawn emerged from their own little world to say

Aww. I was hoping that they had fitted a FOAD decoupling capacitor that
discharged through a couple of fillings.

 

Nasty thought. Mind ewe round here you *never* catch *anything* thrown over
to you. Never, never, ever.
220mfd 450VDC electrolytics are seriously bad news if charged and caught
with bare hands.

Wotcha.

Ah - we used to play that game too .. . and Russian Roulette.
Six caps - one charged, unless you didn't like your victim, in which
case all six of 'em would be live.

 

That's had me smiling bigly for at least the last minute.

I'm still grinning now.

 

I always knew Scientists were just plain evil. Engineers would never do such
a wicked thing. They get drunk and do a pretty unsavoury thing to a certain
bosses new Jag at the Christmas party involving 'leaving a deposit on a new
car' and a 'sandcastle' Union Jack flag (allegedly).

prawn expressed the following:

Did it taste/smell slightly fishy with a whiff of ammonia?

That'll be DOT 4 then.

 

Er, yes. I'll engage brain next time.

 

Nice. Very nice.
