["Wawa" <wawat@xxxxxxx>]

Hey! I've got the answer for once!!! Think of port as left, 2 four letter words, starboard is right, the bigger words. (Spent a couple hours on a small sailboat once but never used the terms while canoeing. While canoeing the term is "Oh Crap! Go Left! Go Left!).

 

(http://www.navyslang.com/navyterms.html)

 

I've been advised in the past on how to remove my rear wheel in case of a unpluggable flat but I don't recall mention of 'splines'. Probably because I wrote the whole project off as beyond my capabilities and the aging gray matter deleted it from my personal internal hard drive.

 

I will watch for a deal on macadamia nut oil for you, Wayne. Can't promise how soon it will arrive however, since I'm lost in time right now. Didn't I just get used to writing 2005 on my checks? And now I have to learn a NEW number in a couple days? Geez, I'm feeling old!

Macadamia Nut Oil sounds too expensive besides Wa doesn’t like me.

 

Starboard & Port – never could understand that funny Navy talk.

 

As far as the other talk – I said I was better looking then you.

 

Thanks for the tip on how to manipulate the rear wheel.  Just tell me which is the left side.

As Flagman, I seem to be having trouble getting keeping messages from this site. I see them and read them in my Inbox and DO NOT delete them, but when go back to answer they are gone – so can’t give the answer they deserve. ;-(.

 

OK from memory:

 

Wayne -  grease your splines with macadamia nut oil imported through the Chip Rose Importers and Smugglers Inc., for which Wa runs lookout.

 

Wayne – I have a front , a back and a side wheel if looking fore to aft or contrarily aft to fore- if looking towards the stern,  from the bow, I have 2 port and 1 starboard wheels

 

There were some other messages of panglactic importance but, I disremember them for the moment. If the authors wish to clutter up bandwidth ye may resend em, otherwise it tis onward, ever onward.

 

A Tip, which everyone else prolly already knows, this wet behind the ears wrench learned from a professional – when trying to reinstall the rear wheel and match splines, do it from the left side of the bike, pulling the wheel toward you, easier to manipulate.

 

lem·ming    ( P )  Pronunciation Key  (lmng)
