So... What oiled your gears today? ARCHIVE

[chickenstrip]

I think my gears are being oiled today...
Feeling spaced through lack of sleep, but it's not an entirely unpleasant feeling, not having anything in particular to achieve today. So I've been drinking coffee all day, so spaced and buzzed out at the same time. Added to the mix loud rock and blues, which seems to be going down well. Expecting a crash in a few hours time...

Sleeping pattern? What's that then?

Could use some weed - that'd be perfection right now.

Sigh.

Random people not being dicks has oiled my gears today.

To avoid roadworks I took the bike up a kerb and through a park. Woman with kids was blocking my way and instead of the expected shouting and swearing she moved her kids to the side and all 3 of them started cheering me on as if I was crossing the line at the TT

Plumber has come round, fixed the water hammer issue. Pipes no longer doing an impression of a demolition team when you turn the upstairs taps on

‘Project Scrappy Hyosung’ is back on track for a bit.

I managed to source some inlet manifold rubbers and the right battery!! Yay .
I found the chain as well.

Happy Pepperami is happy

What oiled my gears today was to see that since l was last on yesterday some little scrotes have plotted behind the scenes to dissolve the 3 green squares of karma that l'd built up because it's the only way they can achieve anything because their futile attempts to berate me have all turned around & slapped them in their lemon sucking faces!!!

How fucking sad is this little band of girly brothers???

A customer at work was having difficulties locking a generator resulting in the fuel being stolen last night.
I was asked to attend today and fix the lock.

When he showed me how he was locking it I told him to turn the key in the other direction.

Boom, generator locked and one very red faced and apologetic site manager!

The little bastard is getting better at cycling. He's still on stablisers but doesn't stick to one side and is linking up longer periods of no stabliser touching the ground.

Stabilisers seem like a similar proposition to a trike, counter steering ain't a thing Still, the young tend to learn quickly after a few lowsides.

He also has a balance bike so he knows how to steer round corners without stabilisers.

I did a unilateral thyroidectomy on a cat today. Never done that in 20 years, always been scared to. It went well.

Any surgical procedure that has the external jugular vein and recurrant laryngeal nerve in my surgical field gives me a squeaky bum.

Discovering that a few rock albums that I had in my collection but had never really got around to listening to for some inexplicable reason actually have some stuff I really quite like on them.

Being in the 'virtual audience' for tonight's Graham Norton show.
Did it on a whim, but found it really interesting; you got to watch the whole show being filmed warts and all, including the pauses while GN gets instructions over his earpiece, and one of the guests* goes for a wee mid-interview

*I'd tell you who, but I had to sign away my life in virtual blood not to reveal anything whatsoever whosever hereinafter thereto aforementioned hereby bollocks
