What Annoyed You Today? (6 Viewers)

eczema doesn't produce 'armoured' like skin plates I think, all I know parts of me look like aligator skin at times - luckly not much in everday visible places, it can be incedible itchy/burning sensation for me, that comes and goes, or sometimes all day pain. But its why I try to always be so jovial and happy - stress makes it worse; be it concious or sub-concious stresswise..

yeah with my crohn's you have the shits sometimes..and for some reason today that's happening for me..and that's a BAD indication...for the past couple hours today..the pain hasnt been so bad..but holyshit..no pun intended..just off and on from the bathrom...but its all a part of crohn's disease..I usually don't though..which is what is typical of most who have this condition. My doctor wants to do another colonoscopy and im terrified as if any of the inflammation has spread and I really hope not..and being I have no job right now..that means no health insurance..and no insurance can make it unaffordable for certain medications that I so desperately need..and now I need help from the state..I never thought I'd turn to the state for welfare assistance. it's embarrassing. But I gotta do it if I want my health..but you can bet if and when I get a job again in this atrocious job market..im getting off it!

I hear you on the job market being atrocious, same over here in Brum too, engineering manufacturing is/was my thing, we don't make enough of much if anything here anymore, to create jobs improve residual affluance; mostly all tertiary/service jobs nowerdays.... Having to second guess the mood you gut is in, isn't so nice if its being more than 'grumpy'.
Sometimes I wished I didn't leave the UK and then return 2 years later - it meant my previous UK job history was worthless...

Well reading about what some of you guys and gals is experiencing....i guess not getting to sleep in this morning isn't a big deal...

Is it an R70/R75 BB or newer Boxer like a 1150? It should be technicaly ok if he dropped it 'off the stand' at standstill apart from a bruised ego and paint... I hope you let him pick it up hehe.

Hi Razor, and thanks.

It's a 2008 BMW R1200RT (89000 kms/55302 miles, all by Jørn), and he and his buddy Find picked it up.
I think that the scratches on the pannier cover can be fixed with a scratch repair pen/kit, but the gashes on the cylinder head cover is another story.
I just hope that the bike doesn't leak anything today, otherwise it'll be an expensive mistake.

Cheers,

Maria.

I think that the little cylinder head ABS plastic pucks/skid plates from a similar/same engined GS model could be found fitted to outside of the rocker boxes, if you/he a little need something to take the 'drop off stand' damage/scuffs in the future.
It shouldn't leak yet - it would be already if it was I feel - some of the gouging of the rocker cover (because it's not quite as hard) helps protect the cyinder head.

If it, the rockercover looks like it has really been mauled by a Tiger (be it Triumph's or the animal), then you might want to start hunting for scapyards, net, papers or dealears for new rocker cover in the future for piece of mind less cost from servicing staff, when it does eventually 'hole' through.
Not meaning by its age, ware or usage, but by future accidents/drops as the covers and most of engine is an aluminuim alloy, not the steel alloys brittle iron of old..

Sometime, that is true Wayne and it was Saturday night, so...

Load test failures on 2 out of 3 Valve Box product samples not had this happen before...very inconvenient retests are in order, if these fail then their is an issue with a $50000 order!

 

[razor1uk]

*Expensively Whistles* Bugger dude, good luck on getting them to cover all or partial costs; on that sort of outlay, they got to fullfill their end of the user agreements, more so to keep their 'quality rating' marketable.

Not annoyed..but im in pain and Im going to go to the doctor and quite possibly be admitted into the hospital. Crohn's pain can be annoying..but when serious complications arise like obstructions, kidney and liver problems, so far Im unable to keep anything down today from this morning..just puking..

Yikes. Hope you get well soon.

What annoyed me today, 2 sore shoulders and one home computer that appears to have come down with a Virus, even though Firewalls, anti-virus, etc..... Nothing on there I don't mind loosing, so time to scrub the hard drive clean and start from scratch I guess.

Hi Readie and thanks for the input.

I've seen those covers, and I suggested them to Jørn, but he doesn't want non-original BMW parts on his bike.
I bet he'll just buy a new cylinder head cover, the next time the beemer goes to get serviced.
And knowing him, I bet he won't even consider buying anything even remotely used for his bike, even if it's original BMW parts. *palmface*
And *if* he complains about the cost of beemer service and parts, I'm gonna friggin' tickle him to pieces!

Cheers,

Maria.

Headache, congested sinuses, sore neck/shoulders, constantly tired, stinking cold!!!! Sounds like I've got a similar ailment as Maria has. I'll lift a shot to our speedy recovery later tonight.
