yo Cosmimarinus,
I was talking with Maurice ( de Sade) the other day.
He has an exceptional collection of medications and electrical equipment
left over from the closure of his (private ) mental health unit.

Having tested some of these out on the local rat and seagull population ,
I can assure you that these animals above all others will force
RECOVERY.

Please cut the spokes off of your front wheel
and send the hub immediately.

It's the water on his brain that's the main problem.

Wait for it....




What he needs is a tap on the head!

Yo Cosmino,
Elvis- son of Gene next door who changed his name to Roy-did a City and Guilds in Electrics.

Day 1 he sucsessfully wired and blew up a mains juction box, it was then they found out about his colour blindness.

Could he be of any use in black and white installation and benefitting the road to RECOVERY?

If you want water to go uphill as well as downhill, remember to investigationise the Archimedes Screw principle theory.

:unsure:

Could you pedal to bring the water uphill from the tank at your front end, of your lard trike, then freewheelly more faster downhillmost with the added weight of water?

* ponders name for above afore-said invention *

My stongly point is language, the Scientificest people on here may need to be quizzed on this.

yet again the thinking jug comes through, you lard concept [though in a sketch form is glowingly simple, i will flesh it out a bit for the thinking inhibited] of a header tank driving a water wheel attached to the drive wheel with run off the a collection tank hens via archimedean screw back to the header tank is alas doomed to failure.
now a vertical axle wind lard mill giving assist dose work the problems are of scale one large enough lard to give meaning full thrust are impractical as the trike would have the same foot print as a van.
the best solution is a 1.7m x 1m sail attached to the front boom.
the investigation in to a ultra light compress air engine lard is still ongoing a pump for use with regenerative braking seems a bit of a no go as at bike speeds the brakes are not often used so the added weight is pointless.

experimentation on spud proof lard trikes are ongoing, a trike with four front wheels and two rear wheels all with 1/2" plate steel disks.

Well my good lady wife, she who allegedly must be obeyed, and I have had a good long chat about her camping to allow storage of trike number four. Crockery is replaceable, thankfully, and the coffee stains on the living room wall will paint over eventually. Some of the hurtful things said will be forgotten, certainly within the next century.

Unbelievably she is against my purchasing another trike until such time as Satan drives to work in a snowplough. She also feels that I'm putting myself and my 'silly hobby' before the well being of our marriage. In fact she implies that she has better things to do than cook, clean, wash and provide certain services that may well frighten the horses for... well... I assume the stream of not very complementary adjectives were meant to apply to me! I didn't know she knew so many low and hurtful insults. Her uppercut is dangerous too, the hospital say I'll stop seeing double any time soon!

In the light of such unreasonable behaviour and sad revolutionary attitude to her allotted role in life ordained from on high, what steps does the committee suggest.

1. Should I set up the tent (When it stops raining, after all I don't want to get wet!) and taking her firmly by the elbow escort her to it?
The downside is she could turn nasty again.
OR
2. Should I find her a job of some sort so she can use her wages and pensions to rent a small hovel nearby. I know she'll want to save commuting time each day coming in to fulfil her duties?
The only downside I can see to two is she'll be busy every waking hour, but the plus side is she won't be bored and as a bonus with the residue of her income after she's paid rent I could afford two more trikes almost immediately.

Yo Bygadio,
tha's put t'cart before t'horse.
I bought a huge shed with a padlock. Within are 4 telescopes that I find essential for astronomy.
Even better madame is asleep and knows and cares nothing about the after dark.
Take up vampyrism or nocturnal riding.

I see that Cosmio is again in the land of lost lard with fanciable schemes.

Spud is working on a set of mirrors which will reflect light on an infinate path.
By this means he is hoping to look into the past.

Surely this will be of upmost benefit to the RECOVERY.
Send a replacement hub in the post.

Your night time activities are of no moment to me, young Sir!

Meanwhile I've found the answer to Good Ol' Ronnie Reagan's Star Wars problems. The looks across the lunch table could freeze and boil your blood at the same time. I thought I'd gone deaf, but in fact it appears I'm not being spoken too. I never knew home could be so peaceful. :biggrin:

Yo Cosmio,
a cure and RECOVERY are within grasp.
Spud is now working with large amounts of balsa wood.
This has the properties of flying and floatation.

With such light inertia, surely above all other materials
this will point the route to
DEPLOYMENT.

Please do not hesitate should you require references or
comdenations, we'll do our best.

Aren't frozen meals wonderful? I've just had an early tea as I'm out tonight. Frozen Chicken Jalfrezi tastes wonderful, although the uncooked rice was a bit crunchy.

Is your hair now shiney after the generous very large blob of custard shampoo?

Please be advised to leave a not upstairs window open when you are out this evening. There is a danger that the locks need changing. You know how Locksmiths keep such unsocialbeised hours?

as caravans can be expensive, a old horse box trailer can be obtained for as little as £200 some blankets and a air bed.
my mum has hearing aids, i would talk to her in steadily quieter tones and she would keep turning the aid up thinking the battery was going, i would surreptitiously ring the home phone which has a siren buzzer and flashing lights, she would jump about two foot in the air!

now with just me and the two lads my current three bikes are in the nice dry worm house, soon to be a catrike speed added. i was trying to traid the bacchetta in but after five months of emails and phone calls trying and failing to get any wear i think i will have to order one then see if i can sell the high racer :angry:

just doing some research on gearing, on the ice q which is not a light trike with all the touring and comfort kit i still have to use the 11-34 and 22t on some of the hills around here, but the cat is 30lb has 11-32 30t it might be ok?

The Trail is certainly climbing in a gear much higher, by gear inch, than the QNT with my feeble efforts. I'm on 22-34 at the moment but have a 12-36 cassette which would end up as an 11-36 if I fit it. So far I feel more testing is needed before I finally decide to do it.

As to a horse box, I'm not sure she's going to move out, she was packing some cases earlier on but it must be for things to go to the dry cleaners as most of my wardrobe is now empty.

Peace and harmony has been restored in the byegad household.

I have won a great victory. In return for forgetting about ever buying anything ever again and doing a small list of jobs, I'm already onto page two, only thirty one more pages to go :sad:, normal service will resume and some indefinite time in the future, if I'm a good boy, I'll be forgiven. :whistle:

The tent is back in the loft and all is well with the world!

I'm glad I sorted it out.

several sets of clothing should be packed in them air tight lard bags and hidden int shed just in-case the scissors come out.
a old tin hat like dads army might be worn around the house for extra safety i will start a helmet thread on here :whistle:

you have a 26" wheel so did a "Sheldon brown".
the speed is back on a 451 for 2011, 19"- 95" gi and about 30lbs
the ice is 14.3" - 80.9" gi but has about 15lbs of lard bolted on, most of my hills i can power up in the 23.1" but some i do in the 16.2".
i have been up all the hills on the lard high racer and that is 21" -117" and is 29lbs with no problems.

looks like the lads at big cat have got it about spot on then!
i feel some df baiting coming on tee hee, not done that for a bit

next a phone call lard to cat UK as i would like to try one for fit.





Domestic violence in the home should helmets be compulsory?

as several people have had cuts and bruises in the home, through making perfectly reasonable requests for extra trike space.
i think every one should lard have a tin helmet stapled on there head at berth! this will save thousands of pounds on hair products and end the problem of some men how have nothing better to worry about whining on that they are going bald. the money the nhs would save could wipe out the national debt over night.
some people bash on about human rights ect but look where that has got us, lard rioting in the streets crucifixion to good for them nail em up nail some lard sense in to them!

I'm hoping she cuts up my clothes. At the moment I'm not noted for my sartorial elegance. If I have to buy a whole new wardrobe I'm certain to look better.
