I got down to a can of coke a day this week... Lets hope I can hold that this weekend....


I have found that I can toss a teabag in my nalgene bottles and get a caffeine fix there...

When I'm around the house I know I hit 4-5 some days....


I figure I participate in enough things that might kill me, that it will be hard to nail down one specific cause...

I gave up soft drinks 6-7 years ago. Never cared for coffee or tea.

Morning, boys!

6-8 cups of coffee daily for me. Never, ever any kind of soft drinks. A glass of wine every evening. Thats doc´s recipe.

Good evening guys. Friday night in the big town!
Hey!

That's the second time you give me good advice....
You do know this is not the tech section, do you?...
(You're not gonna start billing me for it I hope )

The center piece of the fan is cadmium plated I think.
I might have removed a bit of that with the scotch brite pad....

Wow, although that doesn't sound much, but that's quite a lot of sugar.
(if you're not drinking light or zero or stuff like that)
I consiously limit my softdrinks to two max, maybe three a week.
(But I don't always succeed...)
Coffee is another question, I need it in the morning. I don't start my 60 mile commute at 5.30am without it.

G, yes, cadmium for the center of the fan. Go the powder coating route.

How on earth am I going to get the center replated?
Do I need to remove it by drilling out the rivets???
These aren't your every day pop rivets.
Is the center going to rust if I don't have it replated?
I can just have it powdercoated too.

Beef Jerky works better than caffeine/sugar when you get drowsy. An absolute life saver driving at night.

Most drill the rivets. There are numerous threads on the tech side. Can't give you much more than that. Mine is OEM.

Kodiak worked pretty well with me...

Beef Jerky sounds like a better deal.

Morning guys. I don't drink sodas at all, I just lost a taste for them, but I drink at least 2 pots of coffee during the day. It's a gotta have, I get headaches that would disable a jersey mule if I don't get my caffeine.
