bit “Lah di dah “for me, ^ but what the hell. now I see that, I know I bought one but can't remember where it is, it even has the 90 deg flip facility from memory. Had a really good ride on Ugly No 2 today, only 30 miles but bike rode well - I think the ear plugs helped as I probably worry less about the loud exhaust.
Found out my friend has been brought out of his induced coma and moved from the ICU to a general ward Making good progress!
Popped into my local surgery at 8:30am to request a phone call consultation followed by a quick purchasing trip to a local tool shop and then an automotive paint supplier. Popped home for coffee and a bit of breakfast and my phone call consultation. Success, Naproxin prescribed Next, headed out to my local powder coater with a couple of master cylinder/wing mirror clamps for media blasting and painting and back to the tool shop to drop my DeWalt compressor for a much needed service as they promised a quick turnaround. Big town next to visit another tool shop for a couple of bits the first tool shop didn’t have. MR next for a clutch master cylinder piston and seal kit and an oil seal for a rear axle eccentric. Back home via the dispenser to collect my prescription and then start to strip the old bearings out of the eccentric .... now I have jumbo circlip pliers. Made a few phone calls to source bearings whilst enjoying a mug of Java and then ........ finished for the day. Might even enjoy a chilled beer .... or two to toast a successful day. Andy
Nearly crashed my push bike on the way home from work. Twice... Too fast into a greasy roundabout, back broke away just after I tipped it in.. Then about a mile later tipped the bike into a 90 left and the front tucked as it had punctured.. Managed no dabs on either of them but decided to head home as clearly today was only going to get worse...
just remembered that I have a scan to check for an aortic aneurysm tomorrow. My Grandfather died from this so appreciate the NHS thinking of me regards this, without a prompt from me. It's also worth anyone following up on a bowel check if you get offered one - if, earlier in your life, you have ever had polyps detected here or anywhere else for that matter, then there is a greater risk that a cancer can develop here even 30 years later.
When I drag my arse out of bed I’ll be putting fleeces on some plants and bushes in the garden, as it’s meant to get colder/frostier next week, and then I’m off out for lunch. Again
Already had an air frost the last 2 days in my (southern) neck of the woods. Oddly, out and about yesterday, the Russian vines along the side of the M3 towards Winchester are in full bloom. Andy
