Ask Me How I Know.......

[adidasguy]

Seems we all have moments of revelation. I read lots of post that end with "...ask me how I know"
So why not an amusing thread just full of "Ask Me How I Know's"?

OK. I'll start.....

When you pull a head, remember to separate it from the cylinders as you lift it off. Otherwise the cylinders come off with the head and the pistons are a real bugger to get back in the cylinders with out lots of help or patience....

.......ask me how I know.......

 ... ok ..

.. when not riding for a few weeks .. dont leave your helmet just laying around under the awning roof,  out back of the house...

it might get a little cockroach hiding in there... that comes out and runs down your face while you are riding... and you think it could be a spider and exit a corner on wrong side of road!!

... ask me how i know

When adding a windows domain controller make sure you copy the global catalog.  This is one of the biggest mistakes made by rookies, and not discovered until the first DC goes down.

I have known this for a long time.  A friend of mine spent days trying to solve this issue on his domain, only to talk to me after finally solving it and as he described what happened I said "I hope you copied the global catalog."  Had he called me he would have saved days of network downtime. edit forgot to add... Ask me how I know...

Painting a few rental properties to help turn them for a friend... Says pick up some white paint... I ask what white do you want?.. looks at me like I'm an idiot and says, just white paint... I say, there are 148 different white paints I can pick up at Menards right now that will paint those walls, and 4 of those 148 are layers on my own living room wall... Ask me how I know?

...I have a very indecisive fiancé ...

Before you move a big thing like a cupboard you wrap it with furniture blankets. That way you dont tear up the walls when you bump them.

When putting your rear fairings back on, be sure to reconnect your seat lock cable before you put your seat back on.

Before you make a stupid post about a wire that can easily be tested with a volt meter, and you OWN a volt meter, just go out and test it.

10 years ago, hooking up a battery cable backwards. yeah ask me how i know.
But in my defense, i had a 48 plymouth reverse grounded and used a case model 14 also reverse grounded so i had a minimal excuse. 2 hours of wiring later, i learned to be careful

When you buy an old Beretta Brigadier (or clone in my case) double and triple check that the barrel locking block (which is apparently impossible to find anymore) is in good condition. Ask me how I know.

He he ... I hate it when people refer to viscosity as weight ... I usually answer about 4 lb ...

[yamahonkawazuki]

Yup, If I was behind the counter, I'd give them a gallon jar of something and say that's close to 30 lb, if its not, let me pour some oil on you to add up to 30 lb.

Cool.

[yamahonkawazuki]

we had a barbell set at pawnshop, guy comes in asking if by chance we had any 30 weight. he was as big a smart aleck as I. I said, yes sir we sure do. I went to stock room, grabbed the 30lb weight, came back out said will this work?

If a bolt is glowing bright red, it will give you some pretty nasty 2nd degree burns even if you only handle it for a split second.

Ask me how I know what 3 dislocated knees feels like.

The 1st one feels like being struck by lightning when the ER doctor sets it.
The 2nd one makes you sick when the rookie ER doc sets it, after 3 tries.
The 3rd one.....well, you walk if off and grab a beer after you set it yourself.

Ask me how I know.

[yamahonkawazuki]

you catch a pizza pan as it falls out of a 600+f pizza pan as it falls out of oven and sling to table touching a split second. yet burns for an eternity.  ask me how I know. ( damn reflexes lol )

As someone missing an ACL, I feel your pain. After getting kicked out of a bar, a friend of mine tackled me from behind and popped my knee out of place. I kicked it back in, got up, and walked a mile and a half home.
