Although it was bright & sunny this morning, the weather turned a bit by this afternoon. I rubbed the wrinkly chassis paint back & applied a fresh coat. Just brush painted, without removing the wiring loom, brake pipes etc, but if I can flat it back a little bit when it's dry to take the worst of the brush marks out, it'll do for the Summer.

Getting older but no wiser! Just using bigger hammers.
The answer to most problems, fire and lots of it.

My day off today so I nipped over to Jackhammer speed shop & collected my oil pressure gauge. It's a direct fit one like the water temp' gauge I bought recently & will screw into the side of the oil filter housing.
Been having problems with my daily driver lately, (low fuel pressure apparently), so I dropped it into a local garage this afternoon. I'm happy to tinker with the Pop, but modern diesels are beyond my meagre skills. Back to walking everywhere for a week or so then, which means less workshop time.
We've had high winds & hail here in the last couple of days. Twice now the tarpaulin's been blown off the Pop, despite being strapped down. Mr Olds called in there today & covered it up again, (thanks Dave), but reports the carb's full of water. So first job tomorrow afternoon will be to take it off & blow it out with the airline -& hope the water hasn't got down into the bores. I've always had my own sheds or lock-ups for my bike & trike builds in the past. Trying to work outside in an English Winter ain't much fun.

I've worked out doors a lot of my life in shipyards etc. No it ain't much fun, cold steel and wet surfaces, think I'm paying for it now, stiff joints and pains. Still working out doors mending the mates car, No it ain't much fun at all.

I've always had outdoor jobs too. Spent nearly 30 years so far as a Postman & a plasterer's mate before that. Oh, how I long for a nice little workshop in the Californian sunshine. |
