Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
All set to go on the Marpril meat run this Sunday so I took the bike around the block today to see if there were any problems. There is. When I got back, I saw rainbows on my drive. So now I have 2 days to find and fix the oil leak.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Could have been chain lube that caused it, or old oil residue that has dripped off

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
It turns out that it's a corroded oil pipe and needs to be replaced. I have ordered a replacement, but it won't arrive until Monday so I can't do the Marpril meat run this Sunday. Bummer!

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Daughter gets married Saturday. Last minute table plans to sort. WTF. 70 day invite sent out. 6 RSVPs returned. Supposedly loads of friends and family are coming. But most are just bloody ignorant and cannot be bothered to put a reply on the post.
We sent a facebook message. Who to I don't use it.

People at work who spend huge amounts of time trying to work round systems. If they applied the same effort to making the systems work.....
