Dog vs Porcupine

Somewhere out there is a naked Porcupine.

Inca apparently did not know when to quit when she encountered the porcupine on Victoria Day, May 23rd.

These are the pictures the vet sent before the long (and expensive) procedure to remove the quills. She had thousands of quills, and her tongue was so covered, she could not close her mouth.

It was pretty scary at first. She is doing okay now, but looks like a World War III survivor as they had to cut some out in places, stitched between her toes, and many quills bled on removal.

There are still quills buried in her, but they should work their way out over time (I pulled four more today).

She is on antibiotics and pain meds and thankfully is doing quite well.

BERLIN, Germany:

A 34 year old auto-worker was rushed to the emergency ward this weekend when his g*nitals started to suffer from necropsy.

The unidentified man had a strange fetish for an extreme form of g*nital chastity which stopped the blood flow to his testicles and p*nis for more than four days.

The married father of four claimed he enjoyed the constriction caused by the pipe-fitting rings used in valves at the assembly plant where he worked, and that his wife had no idea about his strange liking.

He is quoted as saying that he would leave them on for days at a Time and usually had no problem removing them.

Unable to get the device off his g*nitals the man went to a friends home who was also unable to remove the metal rings. Complaining of loss of sensation he then went to the local hospital where shocked and horrified medical team had to call in a locksmith to blast the homemade vice open.

After four hours of drilling the device was removed, and doctors are still not certain if the mans g*nitals will have to be removed due to onset of gangrene.

Warning: Not for the faint hearted.

Classification: UNCLASSIFIED

From the State where drink driving is considered a sport, comes a true

story from the Sunshine Coast, Queensland.

Recently a routine police patrol parked outside a local neighborhood

tavern. Late in the evening the officer noticed a man leaving the bar

so

intoxicated that he could barely walk.

The man stumbled around the car park for a few minutes, with the

officer

quietly observing. After what seemed an eternity and trying his keys on

five vehicles, the man managed to find his car which he fell into.

He was there for a few minutes as a number of other patrons left the

bar

and drove off.

Finally started the car, switched the wipers on and off (it was a fine

dry

night), flicked the indicators on, then off, tooted the horn and then

switched on the lights. He moved the vehicle forward a few inches,

reversed a little and then remained stationary for a few more minutes

as

some more vehicles left.

At last he pulled out of car park and started to drive slowly down the

road.

The police officer, having patiently waited all this time, started up

the

patrol car, put on the flashing lights, promptly pulled the man over

and

carried out a Breathalyzer test.

To his amazement the Breathalyzer indicated no evidence of the man

having

consumed alcohol at all!

Dumbfounded, the officer said "I'll have to ask you to accompany me to

the

Police station this breath-analyzer equipment must be broken."

"I doubt it," said the man, "tonight I'm the designated decoy". True

story.

Bony Church - Amazing

Truth is sometimes stranger than fiction, and how about 70 kilometres east

the capital of the Czech Republic, Prague, lies a small town called Sedlec.

It might have been an ordinary enough town, if not for its extraordinary

church. The inside of this church is decorated with artworks made of real

human bones. The story begins in 1218, when a certain Abbot Henry made a

pilgrimage to the holy land and brought back a jar full of soil from

cemetery, which he spread over the Church. As a result the church came to be

regarded as more sacred and turned into a popular burial spot.

By 1318, more than 30,000 bodies were buried there and by 1511, it had

become necessary to remove the older bones to make place for the new ones.

These later became the material for the macabre creations.

In 1870 a local woodcarver was hired by the Duke of Shwartzenberg to

decorate the inside of the church with the human remains (approximately 40,000 sets of human bones).

Now it is one of the most extraordinary church in the

whole world.... Bony Church - isn't it morbidly amazing???

Attached are some of the pictures of this Bony Church - its simply astonishing

    • I had absolutely no symptoms whatsoever that anything was wrong.... I'm very happy it was all spotto'd and re-bled and re-torqued and aligned though. Will be picking it up tomorrow and undoubtedly be like "Oh, that clunk is gone" "Oh, the car really wants to drive straight" "Oh, that pedal feels better" "Oh, it feels like I've gained 25hp" "Oh, the handbrake works now" It should have been a sign that the new Project Mu shoes had 3mm of pad depth on them out of the box, and the OEM ones from 25 years ago that we took out also had 3mm of pad depth, implying the issue was not, and never was the shoes, but we put that down to it not being adjusted correctly. It wasn't, but it wasn't even adjustable at all given one side was boned and the T Junction of the cables was on a 45 degree angle, the non-working side being the one on the massive angle. Obviously when I had adjusted it and reset it and re-tensioned it I had either got it stuck or something along those lines. Oh well. Live and learn and absolutely could have been catastrophically worse so I'm rationalizing it as a win, kinda. I also got the chance to measure the distance between rear rim and the suspension arm/shocks and found a 30mm rubber block only just doesn't fit there. Which is great to know before ordering wheels, when I assumed 30mm was easy. The man with the Porsche adapters has rims that use 23.9mm of that space, so it's safe to assume I have between 23.9 and 29.9mm of space there to play with on the inside. The wheels looked pretty stupidly pokey with the 20mm spacers on the rear, only for me to find that the studs come out another 12mm and the wheel doesn't actually sit flush with the hub because you're supposed to cut your original studs. The wheels do have cutouts that kinda accomodate it, but not fully. So my 20mm spacer was anywhere between 25mm and 35mm. ~25mm and send it will determine on where the wheels sit with the spacers on. When I put the pads in for the track day I will mess around with spacers (with wheels that do not clear studs properly when mounted to spacers) and do more math, for the last time, for the 7th time.
    • Lucky pick up Best to find these things before something horrible happened to the yoke flange thingies I would hate to think what would happen if it dropped the tailshaft  Hopefully the holes are not flogged out in the yokes and it was just the bolts that got munted  As for the hand brake.....ouch, look like the disc got rather hot, and I assume smokey, I recall when I had a front caliper seize on the Commodore, there was lots of smoke and the disc was glowing cherry red when I was able to eventually stop and have a look, and stopping a big heavy car, going down a big hill with some rather high RPM down shifts and some hand brake action is something that makes you think hard about life
    • One of the things that never seemed right was the handbrake. Put in some nice new Project Mu shoes. We figured the rears were out, so why not. We're right there. My handbrake never worked well anyway. Well, this is them, 15km later. 67fdcf94-9763-4522-97a4-8f04b2ad0826.mp4 Keen eyes would note the difference in this picture too:   And this picture: Also, this was my Tailshaft bolts: 4ad3c7dd-51d0-4577-8e72-ba8bc82f6e87.mp4 It turns out my suspicions that one side of the handbrake cable was stretched all along were pretty accurate, as was my intuition that I didn't want to drop the tailshaft to swap them on jack stands and wasn't entirely sure about bolt torque. I have since bought the handbrake cables which have gone in. I'm very glad that I went to my mechanic friend who owns an alignment machine to get an alignment before the track day, because his eyes spotted these various levels of "WHAT THE f**k IS GOING ON HERE?". Turns out the alignment wasn't that bad, considering we changed the adjustable castor arms out for un-adjustable castor arms, and messed with the heights. Car drove pretty good with one side of the handbrake stuck on, unbleedable rear brakes, alignment screwy, and the tailshaft about to go flying and generally being a death trap waiting to happen! (I did have covid) (I maintain I adjusted the handbrake correctly, but movement caused shennanigans and/or I dislodged the spring on the problem side somewhat, or god knows what). G R E G G E D
    • Very interesting, im not sure how all those complications fit in to running a haltech instead of a stock ecu but I'm starting to think I'm a bit out of my league.
    • I just put 2 and 2 together. This is a Neo converted R32. The Neo ECU (in concert with the R34's AC controller) runs the AC quite differently to how the R32 ECU and AC controller do it. If you just drop it all in, it won't work. There is some tricky wiring required, including changing to the pressure switch that the Neo controllers want to see. I don't know what it is, because mine was done by a guru. It was a year or so after I did that transplant before he worked out what needed to be done.
