Issue I had with adoption agencies is that I never had a pet before and so they weren't too keen on giving me one. 

HRWA are not like that, they just want to ensure you know what you are getting into, Huskys are a unique breed and are extremely active

Malamutes are just huskies on steroids.  all my animals are sleeping because they live happy relaxing lifestyles. my dog gets two 8km walks a day.

 

Oh, and yeah, adopt one. there's so many out there.

Yea ok I'll have a look. House doesn't have an alfresco area. Ideally I'm hoping to get that up at least for work out door shade area for the dog.



Have a chat with Anne, as long as you know what your getting into you will be fine, they charge $400 for costs of desexing, microchips and worming etc

I don't have a very large house, in fact it is quite small. To make up for this, I take my dog for long walks and play with him at the park, which is perfectly fine. We'll play tug of war in the yard and sometimes we wrestle, he's 55kg...decent opponent.

No wonder your knees are shot 16km per day plus walking around at work [emoji15][emoji15]

So about that, I have some sort of Chondral Fissuring of both knees. Essentially, the Cartilage for both knees has deep cracks and fissures through it, some of it has also started peeling off of the bone, and there a small, loose bits of cartilage floating around the knee too.

Theres no surgical options, supposedly (Rheumatologist tells me that, so does my GP and Physio), so the best Cure is to Grind back the Cartilage with low-impact leg exercises. 
I had to buy a particular Exercise bike, that has a heavy flywheel (7kg), set the resistance up, so it's like pushing a weight, a slowly do that for 30 minutes a day. This not only builds muscle, but grinds back all my broken cartilage, and hopefully creates a new groove for my knee caps to sit in. Unfortunately it's a long, slow, painful process, slowly improving every week.

 

Option B is to take Anti inflammatory pills for the rest of my life, with monthly (expensive) Steroid Injections and fillers (with the risk of infection from each one).

Fux man that's really not good, hope
You do get better sooner rather than later!

    • So we have most the interior back in, and for the first time with one OEM speaker hooked up. The 31 is running, driving and now tunes!!! Hahaha yet another step for the sub that sat 10m under for two weeks!!! unbelievable really 👌 lots of love work and not giving up on her. Seen so many youngsters part way less, and in way better condition. I’m stubborn, thinking another problem is just a hurdle to overcome, One at a time. IMG_9277.mov
    • That is correct. I'm using a modified ABS ring and a ZF speed sensor on my rear diff for speed input. I'm running a Haltech ecu. 
    • Been busy with the newborn. We originally thought we were going to go for a third, but we're good with two lol. He's starting to actually sleep now so I've had some energy to work on the car. It's been parked away in the garage since late November due to winter.  I went ahead and redid all my head oil drains. I originally had my front and rear head drain going into the same pipe but have since split them up. I also added an Ethanol content sensor to get ready to run E85 this summer. Tossed it on my return line. Sensor sits nicely under my intake manifold.    I also have a lot of parts that came in for my rear end. I'll be swapping over to a 3.3 final drive and doing the GK teck anti squat mod. While the rear subframe is off, I'll also change every bushing. We're planning on buying another house soon with the condition that I get at a minimum a 2 door garage, so I'll wait to have more room for this. Now onto the strange things that recently happened... After changing the lower rad hose (It had been sitting in my cabinet for well over a year and was the last hose I had to replace), I let the car idle in the garage to bleed my coolant. After running for a few minutes, it started missing. Got much worst within a minute or two and then stalled and would not restart. My crank sensor decided to crap itself. No damage, no explanation, just died. I went ahead and replaced it with another ZF sensor but the heavier duty stainless model with a shield. Tossed that in and started right up. Has anyone else seen this? I hate when things fail without cause. Luckily this was a blessing in disguise... This lead me to recheck my timing. It seems I may have had a beer or two the last time I had set my TDC angle as I was off exactly 5 degrees... I miscounted a line haha. I was running 5 degrees less then commanded. It's a little embarrassing but helps explain why my dyno operator seemed to think I should be making more then 478rwkws.        
    • Sharing results from recent Liberty Walk R35 GTR, since they are still considered as somesort of a V36 Skyline. We do them turbos too. This are high flowed SS-1 models with ball bearing conversion done.  Car have managed to pull 485awkws @ 20Psi so far pushing limitations of factory built engine. The build list for R35 GTR enthusiasts as follow : HyperGear high flowed stock turbos in SS1 (G25-660 specs) Custom titanium intake pipes. Vspec performance titanium front pipes. Vspec performance 4" titanium exhaust. Upgrade fuel pumps. 1200cc injectors. Ignition coilpacks Hks intake plenum. Hks intercooler piping. Greddy intercooler. Greddy bovs. Top-secret coolant reservoir. Emtron ecu. Straight E85. Built gear box.  
    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
