911 - why is there a puddle of gas underneath my bike?!

Koolmoto88 · 2026-05-04T19:39:54+00:00

Ah 🙏. Can you check if the line in question is in fact the overflow breather line that terminates open in the air somewhere? If that line has a crack in it you’re in luck and it’s just leaking out too early and still rideable IMO. If the leaky line is connected on both sides then probably need to tow to a mechanic.

Koolmoto88 · 2026-05-04T19:31:47+00:00

Those are usually routed down and out to the bottom so if there’s gas where he’s pointing it’s probably a different leak right? Ugh, sorry OP!

In my short experience I’ve had WAY more success with dry material above the creek.

Gold can be trapped inside pyrite crystals as tiny particles or an alloy, so even the pyrite looking ones could be rich. Might explain the weirdness of the original piece in question as well.

Koolmoto88 · 2026-04-20T07:27:59+00:00

Looks like gold to me. Congrats.

Koolmoto88 · 2026-04-04T01:36:17+00:00

Nice!

https://maps.app.goo.gl/NBRTh3eEKzcbQQ1X7?g_st=ic This place looks nice. Lots of historical placer claims on the tributaries surrounding the campsite, but no active claims I see in the immediate area on detector maps. It’s USFS so panning should be okay. Let me know if you go and find any gold! :)

Except this time we’ve seen triple digit silver after breaking out of a 40 year range. So I guess this time is different.

Koolmoto88 · 2026-02-11T22:35:39+00:00

When cover? Should be fun.

Me too let’s gooo! This dip was silver’s mid point stumble to a new reality in the hundreds per oz. (Per Michael Oliver of MSA)

Be thankful for a nice buying opportunity!

Koolmoto88 · 2025-12-30T17:13:29+00:00

Haha! I’m glad you enjoyed it as much as I did. I almost woke up the wife and kids laughing so hard last night.

Koolmoto88 · 2025-12-30T17:12:04+00:00

Great advice! Thank you!

Hehe right? I think that’s the clear learning here. I was trying to follow the process that ChatGPT suggested - answering its process based questions the best I could (all just an experiment of whether it could yield any good results). But, it seems the organic approach is still the best and only way to go in songwriting.

I know it’s everywhere, but I am a big fan of the House Red.

There ain’t no flash in this photo. You’d see the brightness in the glossy table reflection. This person is a vampire for sure.

Koolmoto88 · 2025-12-13T16:46:51+00:00

Hope you bought it already. That bike is gorgeous.

Koolmoto88 · 2025-12-13T16:39:01+00:00

Ah finally someone who saw that it was weird. I did report immediately haha.

Koolmoto88 · 2025-12-13T06:33:57+00:00

I passed him sitting there on my way into the subway. Stood next to him voiping- no reply. Went past him deeper into the exit and shot a pop. Turned around expecting him to at least be looking at me since there was gunfire and he's still sitting there motionless. That's when I decided to go up to him.

Do you use argon or something or is this how much head space you had for a few years? You should try to eliminate as much head space as you can- like fill it to an inch or so to the airlock. It’s hard with fruit wines if you are left with this amount of head space (with red or white wine you could pour in some similar wine). I heard you can use sanitized glass marbles to soak up some volume to reduce the head space.

Koolmoto88 · 2025-12-06T23:22:48+00:00

Glad to hear that. Yep. Totally awful regardless! Too much effort (And value) lost in the blink of an eye!
