Very quiet here.
Everybody all right?

I'm fine boss, not much to report but I'll be posting my failures later

Sat on my sofa recuperating (slowly) from my heart surgery 5 weeks ago..cannot get into the workshop so no progress to report..bored bored .. ::)

Busy trying to organise my 70th birthday party!

i,m still about  just trying to sort things out  and trying to plan for the future  but  hey  ho,, i just dont know what it will bring 
i think a further ,downsize,, and learn to do as doctor tells me  ::) ::)

I'd never have guessed you was nigh 70 BG ? Good on ya  ;)

Still about but nowt to tell.  :(

Same hear, still around, took a week of work to do a few things, wife had other ideas, she now has me fitting a complete new bathroom suit and decorating the room out, oh happy days :(   

Busy left hooking, No.24! House decorating, garden refurb. plus my kit cars have both been MOT'd in February, now the tin top needs a fettle, quick trip to Portugal to help a friend is on the cards to.
 ;D wipes his brow with a sweat rag and walks away  :D

All ok in hornet towers. Thinking of branching out a bit more with my fabrication work...hopefully putting together a web-page  on facebook to advertise my bits n bobs that I make and sell. It will still only be part time, but just need to push it forward a bit more.

Be nice to know what you make and sell ?

I make battery boxes and electrical boxes, all shapes and sizes. Iv,e done a few fake oil tank compartments....round ones and octagonal ones. I need to get some photos on facebook and on here in some type of order.....get a bit more organized lol.

Hmm, might PM you later -need to modify or re-make mine, but my bike's in a lock-up garage with no power supply.

Ok Andy. If you just send me a rough diagram and measurements, I can let you know if I can make it. If not on hear then facebook mate.

Okey doke.

Yes some pics will definitely help ?

C'mon guys! Are we all hibernating? Someone must be doing something surely?!

Well, lets see, I made a new blade for my hover mower today, oh, and finally repaired my "best" pressure washer, and.....how boring do you want to get?, I can go on.....nah, my triumph is on stop at pres. until I can change the front wheel, tidied up the wiring loom, and if I can find a pair of 12v coils I shall change it over to 12v electrics. the 3 wheeler is chomping at the proverbial to get an MOT, but as I don't run with a hood, only a tonneau cover, I'm awaiting an up tun in the weather, although yesterday was very sunny here, so...... roll on Spring, well proper spring :D....Morrag

I've re-built the engine on my CRF four times now, in recent weeks trying to cure a lack of compression problem.............oh, and once because I dropped a shim down the cam chain slot!?!?! :D :D

It's been busy down here..my son has painted the tins on his chop,and we took the engine out to finish off welding the frame, my cousin mark has been tinkering away on his trike,looking really good now,my health has improved so I'm managing a few hours working on my chop..just making it a rolling frame..and next month back on the trike..plus stuff on my brothers chop :o

I stayed overnight in my van Saturday to be ready to photgraph a marathon and a 20 mile race on sunday.  Spent hours standing, sitting, walking about between runners - can hardly move ever since!

I know, it's not vehicle related but you wanted to know what we were doing!

Sounds like you're all busy except me then!
Not a lot of progress to report on either my bike or my truck. Just seem to be constantly ferrying parts about from one place to another at the moment. The battery box & a few odds & ends from the bike are at the powder coaters, the exhaust headers for the truck are at the welders & I'm still pottering on with the last bits of bodywork for it. I think I need a bit of sunshine to boost my enthusiasm. Can't wait for "proper" Spring to arrive.  :)

been flat out at work  >:(
but did remove the engine again and fitted two new top halves for it, corrected timing and now trying to tweak carbs again to suit.
also started painting miniatures again and thinking of entering a competition.
and going to do a prop making course.

A prop making course? Is that for a boat, a plane?

Or theater/film ?  :D

Or Miniature figure's 

Been working on various projects with each step forward giving me renewed enthusiasm. My new helper monkey is really fired up and quick , and eager, to learn . Just back from Looneys where resident engine Dave did some machining on my kapri steering column :) :tup:

Been working on the Trikes fuel problem on the 1500. lights on the 1000  ???

been putting flat pack furniture together, fitting new door locks(in the rain today after a 5am start and 9hr work shift) also boiler up the swanny, so things going great.

BUT i have my good health and family around me for which i am truly greatfull.

 

So there you go....you get all these boring,(aka. necessary! depending on the view being taken.) , prior to the sizzler of a Summer that we are due ;D then decks are clear for....project time :D

Yeah still about. Been crazy since June :(

no,progress,, bad health  no money,, :( :(

minimutly and terry t any of those would probably make me happier than what i do at the mo  :D but olds has it right. film hopefully, the course is at pinewood studios
