Kilosphilipballew  lovely, we are down to 10°c at night already but days reach 2506:29
Kilosits mainly groups of hooligans that mainly want to steal06:30
philipballewKilos, Same is actually happening here today.06:32
Kilosthe cover of being xenophobia is mainly a fancy name to cover thieving thugs06:32
philipballewAssholes Kilos ...06:32
Kilosi think the whole world has hassles when thugs gang up06:33
Kilosalso the media blows things out of proportion always06:33
philipballewToday we had peaceful protests about race tensions break out into looting. You might see it on the news sooner or later.06:33
Kilosyou in the states hey?06:34

Kilossome of our top guys work there now06:35
philipballewwhat company?06:36
philipballewI live on the California Mexico Border06:36

Kiloshi elacheche  hows things08:08
elachecheHi Kilos.. not that good, just ok08:08
Kilosi htink melodie will be away for a few days, she is giving a course to some mali peeps soon she said , i dont know if that started today08:09
Kiloswhy not that good? what did you break08:09
elachechealmost break my and my brother's legs 5 min ago x(08:10
Kiloswow how?08:11
Kiloscar accident?08:11
elachecheSolo accident.. The front brake in my scooter hangs in actif mod while we're riding the scooter..08:12
Kilosouch08:13
Kilosbe careful man08:13
Kilosmost likely the shoes are worn out08:14
elachechex) Now I'll try to fix it by myself (after work) as the front wheel won't turn because of the brakes08:14
Kilosnormally when the brake shoes wear too much then it goes over the point of return and locks up08:15
Kilosnormally turning the wheel backwards releases them08:16
Kilosbut they will keep locking till you replace the shoes08:16
elachecheI'll try that.. thx :)08:16
Kilosthere should also be a cable from the handles to the wheel that fastens onto an arm, hit the arm with a rock in reversing doesnt help08:22
Kilosunles it hasa hydraulic breaks of course08:22
elachecheI think that they are hydraulic, I'll try play with the screw..08:24
Kilosif there is no cable then im sure the shoes are worn past their limit08:24
