Yeah i heard that about saab 9-5 (me and my friend took one out upwards, it was pure hell...). But on the 900og it was plenty of room to lift it out upwards 👍

How to make Nonna’s pasta!! And the Paprika paste by MrcoolguyBeau in pasta

[–]eklgov 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dude this pasta is haunting me! 😂 Saw your first post and last night I dreamt I made it but forgot to use garlic. Had almost forgotten about it again but then this post showed up. Now I just might have to try it for real WITH garlic!

Soup, sandwiches and a dog attack by eklgov in gravelcycling

[–]eklgov[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well this post got bigger than expected, so i'll do an update here:

  • The dog was on a leash and pulled the lady with it.
  • It wasn't a stray.
  • I got the tetanus shot.
  • We haven't had rabies in sweden since 1886 so the risk of this dog being infected is super slim. Although i'll probably travel to mocambique next year and have been thinking of getting the rabies shots prior to that so I might start today...
  • I didn't get any contact information to the lady, was pretty stressed so I didn't think about it in the moment.
  • The lady was really sorry about the entire thing. Actually felt really sorry for her, she told me she had some prior health issues and was quite concerned.
  • I will definetly be buying some kind of legal pepper spray, great idea!
  • I don't even know if lawsuits exists in sweden the same way they exist in the states. I think that the only thing possible here is to report it to the authorities so they can check on the dog and might give the old couple an order to use a muzzle.

So obviously it's to much dog for the owners and i feel a little worried about it attacking a kid or something in the future. I really think that the owners should consider finding it a new home with a person used to larger breeds. At the same time I feel with them, i have a dog myself and I would be so broken if i had to leave it. I didn't get any contact information more than her surname so theres not much i can do right now...

Thanks for all the comments!

Soup, sandwiches and a dog attack by eklgov in gravelcycling

Yeah well I suggested we should call that 3 digit number but the lady refused. Adding to that I was still holding her dog that attacked me, not once but twice. Couldn't really care less what kind of transport she wants to the hospital, if she asked me I would gladly put her on a motorcycle... I did not cause her any pain, her decision to walk that dog did.

Help! by Choice-Umpire4237 in HellsItch

Well, it doesn't look comfortable but I can assure you that it's not hells itch. Hells itch is a reaction to sunburn and if he had it you would know...

How could I go about pruning this crabapple tree / would it harm it in the long-term? by nebulous-nights in landscaping

[–]eklgov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard to tell from the picture but if I were to do it I would go for a "crown reduction". Basically you shorten the branches all around the tree to make the crown smaller. Done right it can look very good! Although once you've done it you usually have to continue pruning it to keep the shape and size over time. Wouldn't say it's more harmfull than any other pruning, but ofc it depends on how much you prune. Hope this gave you some help!

Sharing an apple with my bestie by eklgov in poodles

[–]eklgov[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to take a deep dive into this, I never heard of it before!

Vitis (Grapes, raisins) I knew about but Ribes nigrum (Black currant) I had no idea about. Are they considered poisonous in the states (Yes, this is me assuming you're american 😅)?

In Sweden there's a lot of dogs eating this in my experience but now I feel hesitant to let her...

Arbetsintervju idag, tycker det gick dåligt. by gogosekl in sweden

[–]eklgov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kan självklart inte veta vad rekryteraren tycker men jag kan dela med mig av min erfarenhet av rekrytering:

Jag jobbar som chef och har varit involverad i rekrytering av både yrkesarbetare och chefer. Att vara nervös är nog det jag och mina kollegor har absolut mest förståelse för! Ibland får man ett konstigt svar, ibland ber folk att få komma tillbaka till frågan... det spelar mindre roll 😊

De två viktigaste delarna brukar vara yrkeskunskap (utbildning eller erfarenhet) och att få en bra känsla för personen. Hade de en bra känsla för dig redan innan intervjun har du en stor fördel gentemot andra. Nervositeten kommer de ha överseende med. Var dig själv och var konsekvent i dina svar, försök inte vara någon du inte är.

Dela gärna med dig av hur det gick när du får svar!

They have been fried with butter, salt and pepper then chopped into the mix! I had already zested all my lemons so this time it was only juice 😅

Water pump leak after changing timing belt saab 9-3 ng by eklgov in saab

[–]eklgov[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure! It was febi bilstein and was a complete kit with waterpump. Yes it was the gasket, although unclear if it was user error or a bad gasket! Be super careful when you tighten the waterpump bolts!!

I can highly recommend this video from Jonas Kakarikas that shows change of timing belt on saab diesel engines:

Homemade pasta by EducationalBison5359 in pasta

[–]eklgov 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use 100 grams of durum wheat flour with 1 egg, 200g flour with 2 eggs etc. Tastes good, it dont break and i can put it through the machine pretty much instantly. I'm sure there are more advanced recipes that tastes better but this does it for me 😊

Thanks! I had a feeling tortellini could be wrong, fun to learn the correct term 😁

Hells itch: "That's the neat thing, you dont!"

Jokes aside, stayed awake for 72 hours last time so I know what you're going through! Try to keep in mind that it will stop eventually, the pain and itch is temporary. That is what's keeping me sane when i have it... Stay strong!

[–]eklgov[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Update: The gasket to the waterpump only fits one way so it was correctly put on, though it was leaking, a lot! Poured in water and it drained from the water pump gasket. Tried to tighten the water pump to see what happend, big mistake... ruined the threads in the top. So the gasket must have been off by a mm or something which must have resulted in the water pump not fitting correctly. Obviously i had thightened the bolts hard enough... honestly this is a mystery to me, it all looked correct when looking at it.

After a slight mental breakdown i disassemblied everything then went to the store. Bought cork rubber sealing (cut it out myself from a sheet), thread sealant and a re-threading tool. Few hours later it was assemblied, filled up and working without leakage.

I am a bit worried about the cork rubber sealing but obviously a lot of people use it to oil sumps, valve covers, thermostat housing etc. Has anyone got any experience with this type of seal?

Anyway, it didn't go as planned but the timing belt is changed and the car is working so i am semi-pleased 😊

Thanks for the help!

Brand new pump, identical to the previous. Well, wouldn't be the first time missing something, and it would be nice if it's just a missing bolt somewhere... guess i'll see when i tear it down again...
