GF left for the office...
rain on the windows...
new bike spares on the table...
a warm cup in my hands...
G'Day...
9°/17°C, gray skies, partially pouring rain...
should clear up towards the evening though...
ze GF at work, got the house to myself... peace, quiet... and Nespresso...
FedEx driver was already here, threw the CMS parcel into the humongous parcel box, rang the video intercom, and sprinted back to his Van through the downpour...
So, that white plastic tube in the foreground, the -MR7- item, was the cause for this backorder/shipment delay...
Its supposed to protect the head's bucket-bore and centering the valve spring retainer while depressing it during removal/inserting the cotters...
Possible a strip cut out of a yogurt cup might serve the purpose, but I'm curious, and thorough...
Yeah, replacing the valve stem seals on the '00 ST is on the project list... another tool-time...
More currently I'll have to top off the water/pressure in the floor-heating system in da GF's house
(modern, wall mounted, European condenser type, natural gas boiler), night's getting cold, the heating season will start, soon...
Already replaced a breather pot where it feeds the DHW tank HEX tube (during times the solar collector circuit doesn't supply sufficient energy), after noticing the gargling noise of the boiler pump burping some trapped air one morning...
I also already fixed an annoying "noise issue" within the condensate drains of her multi-split A/C...
You could actually hear the high-wall unit's drains dripping inside the wall while in cooling mode...
During the stillness of the night like a Chinese water torture...
(not so much a problem for ze GF, she could snore through a bomb-raid like any female, but my prehistoric, male instincts react to just any noise and signs 'General Quarters' in case a sabertooth tries to sneak up... remnants when we weren't on top of the food chain...)
So I McGyvered this by threading some left over perimeter-wire down the drain hoses till they're reached on/into the wall-siphon...
Instead of free-falling the last few centimeters, the drops now run down that green wire... in total silence...
Anyhoo, Friday! Enjoy!
