Northern Zone started already?? Wow, am I out of it. Have to Czech southern zone dates so's I can stay out of the woods on opening day!Morning. Aparently I have been using my iPad too much (either that or I really need more coffee). I keep touching my laptop screen to do things and it isn't a touch screen :facepalm:
Had a nice weekend with the kiddos. Halloween party and haunted house/hayride Saturday, Church, Sunday School and pumpkin carving Sunday and still managed to get in a few hours of deer hunting (didn't see a damn thing, but I went).
Yep. And I'm happy about it.Are you obligated to act as a fiduciary?
Nope. I've ordered a ton of parts and I'm just going all-in with the higher mileage service bits: Radiatior, cooling fan & cooling fan clutch, tranny/diff fluids, thermostat, timing chain tensioner, fuel filter (debating the pump), etc. I am also looking for a set of oem rear wheels that I can mount up front to square the setup. My inability to rotate tires right now sucks.Still not driving?
Wrong, we have 12 jokes now so you can go to your bongshed, take your RUX and PIIYB.New website is pretty. You assholes are probably still recycling the same ten jokes though.
Radiator as a service item? That thing has a mechanically driven fan?Nope.

I meant to do those on my M3 this weekend, but was too busy outdoorsing. Next weekend perhaps.cooling fan & cooling fan clutch
Yeah, BMW used a mechanical fan with an electric auxiliary one on most stuff until the mid-2000s.That thing has a mechanically driven fan?
This confuses me as well... very strange "regular maintenance" to replace a radiator...Radiator as a service item? That thing has a mechanically driven fan?

Riding was ridden, I presume? If so... what did you hit? I hit Myers Ranch yesterday and for a little park... goddam is it fun.Best weekend in forever.
Note, back to the ¢#/#*\* grind.

It's not an official service item, but consensus failure is ~100-110k. I'm not going to test my luck with it. I'm all about preventative maintenance when possible.Radiator as a service item? That thing has a mechanically driven fan?
M GMT
No wingdings? I refuse to participate in this GMT. Good day sir!
Gotcha. Probably a good move. Unless it leads to more problems and more repairs.It's not an official service item, but consensus failure is ~100-110k. I'm not going to test my luck with it. I'm all about preventative maintenance when possible.

See? Nothings changed.I won four awards just for logging in. It's like the special olympics.
How about the truth as stated above?
I'm with Westy. Just tell them this in a more elegant form.
Email sent! I just took all this advice and made it concise and professional. I also added that it would be an honor to work for Company B in the future if the stars align or something like thatWesty and your mom are correct. State the $ don't make the move worth it. Anyone who can't respect that isn't worth working for anyway.
Maybe if Westy takes the fancy Seattle jorb you guys can all get a place together? He just got a new dog . . . kids love dogs!
Next we're all going to go ride some easy, er, I mean fast trials that don't have roots or rocks then jerk off to our Srava times. Everyone gets a participation ribbon. But Stoney can't make it because he's still working on his car.I won four awards just for logging in. It's like the special olympics.
Interesting. Is the clutch temperature or RPM based? Both would make sense. Fans at 7000 RPM can suck a handful or more horsepowers.Yeah, BMW used a mechanical fan with an electric auxiliary one on most stuff until the mid-2000s.

Jdcamb and I will handle the cooking duties. Can you keep the bongshed in good working order?And if we all get a house in Seattle, it will be the RM Headquarters. Make no mistake!
I the spirit of enduro, you should have jumped the tape for a better time.Just gave blood. A pint in 6 minutes.
I wish I could. My drugs are the kind they don't want in the system.Just gave blood. A pint in 6 minutes.
Yeah. The one in the M3 isn't too bad yet, but it makes a little noise when it's cold. Works fine once it's up to temp, but I'd rather replace it before it has any real problems. Plus I can drive the S4 in the interim anyway.Temp.
Hi Kranky. Hi Squeeb. Hi Peach. Hi Westy. Hi Angry
It's just one of those 'what can go wrong' situations. An already finicky, tight threshold engine that has cooling issues to start with, and potential failure of radiator. That's not math that I like.Yeah. The one in the M3 isn't too bad yet, but it makes a little noise when it's cold.

nope felt crappy when i woke up, looked at forecast: 47* high and spitting rain. gonna ride local in a few. still have next monday on hold in hopes of better weather . . .Kind of cold here in AngryLand today. Supposed to rain for the next couple days. Need to get a little ride in somewhere before heading to the studio. Motivation is rather low.
@jstuhlman Did you go to Wilson's ?
I generally assume that he is always blowing strays.
Where ya been stranger?
Dogs or hobo's?I generally assume that he is always blowing strays.
Exactly. Plus it's not an expensive part or a lot of work.It's just one of those 'what can go wrong' situations. An already finicky, tight threshold engine that has cooling issues to start with, and potential failure of radiator. That's not math that I like.
You done sucked them all dry. There ain't nothing left for meI generally assume that he is always blowing strays.
