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  ....Morrag |

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.  |

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