Long Wheel Base

Before lockdown I was up before 04h00 and I would ride to work and yes I was tired at night but I still was able to do it. Now since lockdown I struggle to get out of bed before 05h30 and I need to leave for work at 06h00 if I drive so I basically just have coffee, do a few of my chores and off I go, I chow breakfast at work. I have ridden once to work since lockdown. Lockdown messed up my sleep pattern big time. I still have an alarm that goes off at 04h00 and then 04h15 and then 04h30 and I just snooze them all and then wake up in shock at like 05h30.

They used to fly on dialup, but now we run or walk.

You probably not far off, tbh.

Lekker colour.

I am confused, why is the oke with a possibly stolen frame posting selfies of what I assume is him with braces?

The SAA history museum which is basically a charity. They used to belong to SAA when we could still afford to actually own things outright. When they retired them it was actually cheaper to donate them as opposed to stripping them and cutting the rest up.

Now I know why bikehub is so slow.........

LOL I remember seeing the coffee machine picture. This stuff sounds awesome. Thanks for the info.

Seeming we are a bit off topic, I been meaning to ask. What is that coating you are putting on the bikes that I see on your Instagram feed? Looks very interesting and you seem to be doing a lot of it of late.

Saw someone on twitter call him Sebalding Vettal.

The only news we get to hear is from news24................ SAA itself is currently pretty much moth balled. There are a few people that come to work each day but I have no idea what they doing. We just see a handful of cars in their parking lot. SAAT is not doing much better, We haven't received a full salary since February 2020, most months we get 50% of our basic which is about 30% of our normal salary as we had all sorts of additional stuff like OT, call outs, allowances etc every month which is no longer. We have had 25% 2 months and last month we got 75%(They owe me over R100k, SAAT salary debt is just over R144bar). Our pay slips still show 100% but we don't get that amount, we just get an IOU letter. Sunday is D day for the government to pay the BRP that 10.5 billion. SAAT and Mango are meant to get 1 billion each from SAA. If the government don't pay it then the BRP close up and the airline gets liquidated but the debt is so much it is cheaper for them to pay the 10.5 billion(how scary is that). Mango and Comair also owe SAAT A LOT of money(I know the figures but not sure I should post them here). Did that pilot tell you if they had received their money? Apparently they have not gotten a single cent as the 10.5 billion is meant to pay all those packages.

We have just started prepping one of our preserved aircraft. We have been told it is going to fetch the vaccines. When we all got told to start working on the aircraft we got happy and thought SAA was starting up again. Then they told us it is just a once off to fetch the vaccine.

That I am not sure about, I have not tried that but if you find out, let me know.

Maxed mine out last year and have already close to decimated the first 10k voucher bought 1st week of January. You get a SMS and an email with the code. I find it easier to print the voucher instead of handing my phone over for the teller to read the code from my phone. If you don't use the whole voucher then lets say you had a 1k voucher and you use 500, they add the remaining value onto a gift card. So it seems different tellers do things slightly differently because I buy a 10k voucher every few months and some don't mind loading it onto my current gift card that already had some money on and some say no they must give you a new card. I ended up with 4 cards last year.

I seriously hope at some stage they give you a type R to use. My neighbor works for BMW and most of the time he brings home an X5 but every now and then he has something a bit wilder.

If you really are interested in seeing what your max HR is, you need to go do a fitness test. Last time I did mine they had me on the IDT and iicr I had to maintain a specific speed for a certain time and the speed just got higher at like 30sec intervals until I just couldn't anymore. 129bpm is pretty low, even 150bpm isn't that high for a 40y/o. I am not sure if you use something like a garmin but GC will automatically adjust your max if you have it set that way.

It means you're 80% a c#*t

See my response in bold.

Well considering the OPs new employer that is very apt.

Julle moet hierdie draad weer aan die gang kry. https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/169129-die-naafland-afrikaanse-draad/?hl=afrikaans

Since having kids my early morning weekday rides have pretty much disappeared all together. Now, 90% of my training is late at night on the IDT and it is only once the kids have all gone to sleep so I have had dinner already and then anywhere between 19h00 and 21h00 I get onto the IDT. So for me my pre-workout supplement is dinner. On the weekends if I know I will be on the trainer for like 2 hours I have a cappuccino after dinner and when I hit the bed close to midnight I go straight to sleep. I am up again around 04h00 during the week as I also start work nice and early. In the beginning I struggled and was half asleep on the IDT and couldn't really get out of zone 2. Now I am used to it and actually prefer training at night.

Yeah, Thanks. Whatsapp it to me.

The oke that owned my house before had worms in his head when he built the pool. It looks really nice being so big but it is hard and expensive to keep clean(and warm as well for that matter). I got a quote to have it made smaller and decided to just struggle with it until I win the lotto OR, I wanted to have it made one level and just keep the same surface area as I thought it would be easier but clearly the pool builders just want to try make plenty money so I am thinking of hiring cells, emptying it into the cells and getting lots of sand to fill up the bottom then re-marbalite it and then empty the cells back into the pool. So what if the "repair" leaks, it will only leak into the old deep end section. I can't even stand in my deep end, it is just over 6 ft deep.

WTF is wrong with some people. That is messed up. He is doing his time for the crime, clearly that is not enough for some people.

Thanks, I have seen a few 2nd hand filters for sale for around R1500. I am probably going to go that route. The pump, yeah I will also probably get a used one and give it a decent overhaul, will be good as new. Those prices are not bad at all. My local pool shop quoted me in the region of R8k incl vat for 4 bag filter, 1.1kw pump and all attachments so it's about the same as infinity. If you get it from more retail places like builders you looking in the region of R12k
