Got taken to have a look at the little place (right out in the sticks) where I used to live several years ago.
Its still barely changed Wub

And then on the way home, the Jag got a little bit of a workout Cool

I just sat calmly in the passenger seat doing my best not to look excessively impressed.

Salvaged half a dozen broken and discarded baby toys. Most just needed new batteries and corrosion cleaned from the contacts, switch cleaner for the rest Smile

I filled out an occupational health questionnaire at work on the subject of use of gloves. I had to say I’ve been prone to eczema in the past but added not now. The nurse emailed back asking for photographs of my hands! Bit weird. I’m supposed to have a conversation about skin care. As a former sufferer I probably know more than she does.

Anyway, to the punchline -
I haven’t told her about my itchy balls yet but I’m preparing an album.

Cheers dude.

Does it always work that well ? Looks pretty decent results for a £40 machine.

Ridley Scott is oiling my gears this evening.
The Terror is really rather decent.

I got work to send me a computer monitor to make working from home easier. Today I cut the cardboard box up so it would fit into the recycling wheelie bin. Shame really because it was a masterpiece of design. This is just the upper section which held the stand and leads. I don’t know if they have computer apps to design these packages or a team of Origami masters. Unexpectedly cool.

Winscreen washer not working on the wifes car today... Just a blown fuse.

Washing machine packed in. Motor seems iffy as it'll catch for a while if you manually rotate the drum then stops working again. Turns out the thing can be entirely dismantled using ordinary tools, the motor comes off relatively easily, is 100% strippable and replacement OEM brushes are £15 a pair off ebay.

“Tacos to the chateau,”

Stand-out line makes me chuckle. Very Happy

Fucking love that same line.

Its a proper Marmite job of an ad, people either love it or hate it.

Smashing the road on the KTM, tyre is bedded in now and the spring is much better suited to our shitty roads. I remapped the 2nd throttle to open earlier and its a lot smoother.

Just need some warmer weather and longer days so I can play out a bit longer.

The guys with the pit bike got paid a visit by the po po. Seems I wasn't the only one getting fed up with their antics!

Couldn't hear the whole conversation, but I did hear one of the officers say "is that cannabis I can smell?"

Hopefully it's enough to get the message across and they'll sod off when their tenancy is up! Thumbs Up
