Sorted out my OBD to mercedes fly lead today.
Sounds simple enough, except the 'fully populated' OBD end doesn't match up with the 14 pin round adaptor, so it's cut it off, find a spare 14 pin, desolder, then painstakingly attach the wires in the right order, after discovering that every manufacturer uses different colour connections, so it's a case of multimeter and masking tape to match everything up.
After an hour of probing and soldering we have a fully functioning OBD reader.
Now discovered the reason we have no air con too, 0 bar pressure!

This was today's plan, but the weather was better yesterday, so we did it yesterday instead. The mighty Transfagarian/Transfăgărășan 😎 Happy birthday to me 🇷🇴

I heard someone with threats about that be advised to wear a 'medical alert' bracelet or similar.

If found unconscious, you run the risk of being treated as brachycardic. I don't know whether treatment decisions are based solely on HR, or on BP etc too.

But get professional advice - don't do it because Hoss said so ;)

Went to Geneva Airport as a passenger - worse, back seat passenger!! I did warn the driver that I am prone to car sickness, so god know what his driving would have been like if I hadn't said that!!! Spent the journey there feeling sick and spent half the drive back (me driving) trying to feel less sick!! LOL

Nice chat with my bus driver mate en route to meeting some friends, but just before I got off a little kid puked up on his bus, right next to me, so even though I survived my car sickness, I still arrived at the bar with puke on my shoes :sick: :sick:

No - you spelled it brachycardia. It’s bradycardia. Brachy- means shortened eg brachycephalic dogs (eg boxer/ bulldog/peke).

Don’t worry about it…😄

Went to Wally World for vittles.

Was lied to by the weather app on my phone. It told me it was 82 deg. Fuckers, it was 108.... slight difference.

Been testing my new tumbler cleaner doodad by throwing old hardware in it. One of the things I found in a box of Kaw parts was a steering stem bolt from a '76 Z900. The bolt was painted metallic blue.
I sold that bike in the UK 36 years ago.... :wtf: :shock:

Tumbler doodad cleaned all the paint off it perfectly, it also removed rust from other old hardware & parts, plus tarnish from some brass pipe fittings.

I know I did, because I have a blocked nose. Rhino-itis

But don't worry about it :) As you said, it's important to be a smart@rse ;) :D

Smartarse?

I think you'll find the medical term is immaculitis ringus.

The "itis" suffix would indicate inflammation, doesn't sound pleasant.
