I’m on standby for work, so I can’t really go anywhere or start some activity/project.
The weathers starting to close in and I’ve been fecking nowhere on my bike this year
Lack of money means outings/trips are not happening.
So much for the grand plan I had at the beginning of the year
The sum total of my excitement this year has been a local bike show, “oh whoope do!”
Bored bored bored bored fugging bored! |
Go fix that thing you've been putting off fixing. Then when you can ride your bike you wont be thinking "I should have fixed that thing".
I find on call weekends a godsend because I can get caught up with routine motorcycle maintainance in the downbtime without thinking I could be doing something else. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink.

and shoe back on it. Pressing brake pedal in car hurt like fuck so dropped my mate off first then drove home mainly
using handbrake gently to reduce speed.
Hobbled in to our second floor flat after climbing 4 flights of stairs, mrs grr said "what TF have you done to your ankle?!?"
"Just a sprain" I said "Just need to rest it"
Sunday morning, foots gone a bit black with bruising but I continue to insist it's just a sprain.
"Would I be able to do this if it was broken?" and start hopping round our kitchen on the broken ankle.
Decide Sunday not a good day to go to A&E because of footballists injuring themselves and don't fancy the wait.

Stoicism FTW
When I broke my leg I was walking around on it for 8 days protesting that it's just a bad sprain. I had to go to the GP to pick up a line after my 7 days self certification had run out and he sent me straight to the local A&E despite my standing on my broken leg with the good one off the ground giving it lots of "well if it were broken surely I wouldn't be able to do this".

Interesting. Am considering Nissan X trail at the moment after bailing out of the Scoobydoo purchase. Along with Honda
CRV and Mazda CX5. I have heard there have been some problems with the start/stop on the Nissan but nowt about chassis
weakness. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

Inter fucking ruptions.
Honestly.
I can't finish a SINGLE thing in my office without having to put it down and start something else.
I'm going to have to waste a good hour tomorrow morning just making a reprioritised list of things to finish doing
I hate being front-line. I wish they'd find a back room they could stick me in so I can just get on with my fricking typing and filing in peace and quiet

lol I feel the pain..
My day was, a once walk around the workshop, back to my office to play Assassins Creed Origins, then a bit of Jeremy Kyle on the iplayer. Then the big boss came to get me at 12 oclock to play some table tennis. Did that for 45 minutes, then back to the office for more ACO, and 4.15 got the driver to take me back to my hotel.
Same tomorrow I expect lol.. can get boring |

Cars (and wives)
My C Max - 4 new tyres, new discs all round, new pads, tracking, geometry etc. etc. £840.
And to rub it in, wifie curbed her Megane Cabriolet, shredded the tyre and that doesn't have a spare, just goo. So out with the jack, wheel off, drive to garage, get new tyre, drive back and fit, drive to wifies work, pick her up and take to the car. Get home, give her bill for £78 quid.
'I'm broke this month, can i pay you next month. 'yes dear, of course dear'. That's the last I'll see of that. ____________________ Triumph Trophy Launch Edition |
