I think on this occasion the major factor here is the door seals. In particular seeping in through the clamp section of the seal that otherwise holds onto the seam of the body. Maybe silicone bead will fix that.
On the other cars i've been unable to fix properly. The peugeot 308 I fixed three leaks and there's just one small one I am unable to identify. Fills the wheel well- and makes the spare tyre, and tools rusty and crusty.
I bloody hate mould too - so I really don't want to be picking it from the fabric of the seats like one might pick up their phone. ____________________ CBT: 12/06/10, Theory: 22/09/10, Module 1: 09/11/10, Module 2: 19/01/11

Today, I grind my own gears. The first day of work this year didn't go as planned.
For the past 2 weeks I was on holiday, going to sleep late, waking up past 8:00 in the morning, great stuff.
Today, I woke up at 5:30 in the morning to go to work, totally exhausted. I was so exhausted that I got fully geared up to cycle to work, even got a thin knitted hat on as it was -3°C and windy (6-10m/s), dry roads/cycle paths. And that hat was the issue. As I've already had something on my head, I completely forgot to put my helmet on, and I've only realised that after 20 minutes of riding. So, as it was winter time and although dry, black ice might have occured, and I'm a responsible cyclist I went back home to get my helmet. The moment I got inside all the heat and humidity inside started doing its thing and in just 5 minutes I've started to sweat a lot... so I gave up on cycling today and got to work by my car hour later.
Right now it's heavy snowing, so no cycling tomorrow either.  ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ

My next door neighbour popped along yesterday (during working hours ) to say that there was a stink coming in her kitchen window, allegedly from my back yard.
Smells alright to me but then so does my arse from whence the sun doth shine ... but I agreed to have a look.
So this morning I lifted all the little drain-covers and plunged about in the muck with various implements, discovering that one drain was blocked with mud and ... bits of insulating foam from when she had her whole house re-clad last summer
Her builders hadn't offered to clear my yard of their crap, and they broke my gatepost but I didn't bother to complain at the time, just swept up and disposed of assorted strapping, chip cartons, empty red bull cans, foam, nails etc - and just propped the gatepost, as I am planning to have some new wrought iron fencing put up (eventually).
I took a handful of the stuff round to show her that it was the crap from her builders causing the problem - but neither she nor her son had the decency to look shamefaced ("yes yes very nice!!")
She still maintains its the main sewer drain - so I eventually managed to lift the manhole cover over the main drain, rinsed everything off and poured a load of bleach down there. I know it probably won't solve the problem but fuck it, I'll wait a week or so and then, when they complain again (because they're bound to) - I might get round to ringing the landlord and ask for it to be roto-rootered.
It's about time she started feeding me chana dall and spicy spinach chapattis again, I'm almost up to here with her nonsense.  ____________________ Not nearly as interesting in real life. |

Went to the café Sunday morning. I like a bracing walk as much as the next person but.... brrrrrrrr!
There was a friend in there we hadn't seen for a few years. Gone totally grey! Not just the hair but complexion as well, maybe even their outlook on life I'm seeing more and more people getting suddenly very old or perhaps I was oblivious
"FFS, you get old, your friends get old, everyone gets old!" Well of course. I know I'm getting older from the flecks of tinsel in my hair but when you see such a transformation in someone a generation younger, it is jarring. ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

I am mostly being annoyed about losing yet another set of earbuds.
I live in a safe little world of audiobooks whilst out in public.
They may be in the desk drawer where I work on Tuesdays, but I only go there once a week.
I've decided to order another set and will have a home set and a work set. ____________________ Not nearly as interesting in real life. |

Well, today I got a new motherboard, CPU and RAM... and apparently my Windows 7 key, that I used before and then upgraded Windows 7 to Windows 10 no longer works with a fresh OS install, as the ''free'' upgrade from w7 to w10 feature no longer exists.
I might as well buy the W11 key right away. Also every case fan runs at 100% as I do not understand how the new motherboard works at all.  ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ

Could you try a Windows activator on win7 before then upgrading?
That said, Still on Win7 now and perfectly happy. I didn't upgrade from XP even until 2018. ____________________ CBT: 12/06/10, Theory: 22/09/10, Module 1: 09/11/10, Module 2: 19/01/11

UPDATE
So, everything seems to be working now.
I later remembered, that I did buy a W10 key years ago and luckily, I still had it in my e-mail. Now, the key did not work for activation of the OS that I installed using W7 key, however I did a fresh install using the W10 key that I bought years ago and the system activated itself the moment I got into Windows (well, after I installed the ethernet (LAN) driver from my flashdrive; wtf MSI?!). Anyway, M.2 drives are so fast, that it took only a few minutes to do a fresh install. The last time I did a Windows OS install it was W7 from a DVD to a SATA 2 HDD. That was 2009, then I upgraded it to W10 in like 2016, cloning the system drive to SATA SSD some time before 2016.
I also figured out how to connect all case fans to the board so I can controller their speed. I just plugged them all into a fan hub and that into the CPU fan connector on the board.
*One annoying bit remains though, for whatever reason the MSI motherboard (MSI pro x870-p wifi) does not have a functional/or any ethernet (LAN) driver, so in order to connect the PC to internet you need a second PC to download the driver and put it on a flashdrive and then install it. Not sure if this is MSI's way of saying use the WiFi card that's on the board instead or what.
For those wondering, I got the AMD ryzen 7 9700x (65W TDP), 2x16GB DDR5 and MSI pro x870-p wifi, the rest is the same as it was, old Fractal design case, Noctua nh-d15s CPU cooler, RTX 4070 Ti Super, oh and some 1TB Samsung M.2 drive that I pulled out of my PS5. ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ

Yikes.
I'd not run an unpatched W10 at the mo, let alone an obsolete OS.
The transition from W10 to 11 is going to cause a massive issue for personal PC users IMO, and I suspect Microsoft may release a method of installing W11 without the TPM just to get more users up to the latest OS. I hope you have a decent external firewall, or just don't go on the internet. |
Nah I don't. I think a lot of that is scaremongering shite. Not had firewall or antivirus since '18 on the win 7 pc (though I do occasionally do a sweep once every 2 or 3 years, and always go online with old OSs from win3>xp no problem. It's not since before pornhub existed that I've actually got viruses. Part of it is luck sure, but most of it in my part is just not being stupid or naive. ____________________ CBT: 12/06/10, Theory: 22/09/10, Module 1: 09/11/10, Module 2: 19/01/11
