Not to open a can of worms and all that but................ .....

I never use dielectric grease.  Use ACF-50 instead. Made for aircraft connections.  Just sayin.............. .....

"Buying relays from a man in Brussels
He was six-foot-four and full of muscle
I said, "Do you speak-a my language?"
He just smiled and gave me an ACF-50 sandwich
And he said

"I come from a land down under
Where beer does flow and men chunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover, yeah"

I suppose it works in the song as well as Vegemite does.  And it might even taste better!  I'll track some down.  Thanks!

Since my wife's from Korea and I spent part of my childhood in Maine, our trip to Oz placed us in a position to combine three fine culinary traditions: Vegemite, Kimchi, and Moxie! 

Yum!

And people wonder why I find it hard to take life seriously...

I keep expecting the bike to fail again, my 3 Guzzi's have each been through several events but it must have fixed itself. :thumb: :thumb:

I took the V85TT on another test ride to the coast today -- at least that was my excuse -- and the bike ran fine, with no more grumbles, so the expedition must be counted as a success!  It included a stop at Pigeon Point for lunch.





I might not have had any kimchi to complete the Vegemite/Moxie/kimchi trifecta, but at least I managed two out of three :grin:

Love the Kimchi after 6 and a half years in Korea, but Moxie is horrible. And I lived in Maine for 12 years and could never tolerate it. Vegemite? Meh.
