It's a perfect description of me. If you were in Brisbane, I would think you were talking about me.

lol

You guys piss me off

I weigh 40kg less and can just hang off the ring

speaking of knees. saw the surgeon yesterday afternoon.

announcing my immediate retirement from basketball and squats.

have worn away the cartilage in my left knee, so it's bone on bone.

going on the public waiting list to get it op'd, but he says if I take it easy from know, ie no basketball and other high impact sports, I should make it to 60 before I need a full knee replacement. sucks

back on topic. I am finding that a whole bottle of jaeger and redbull the night before did not help with my workout this morning. scratch that of the list.

Good to see this thread is still ticking along. Some things i've learned that are hopefully true;

You should have simple (high GI) carbs <2 hours after workout. Glycogen, which is a form of glucose stored in the muscle for energy, is used when you work out and you want to restore it post workout, by spiking your insulin via eating simple carbs. This is done most effectively during that 2 hour window. You also need some protein at the same time. I've seen recommendations from 2:1 to 5:1, carb to protein. (mlr mentioned the carb+protein goodness earlier).

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
