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).

You do get better sooner rather than later!

    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
