Bude? High winds? Have an almost random pic. Check the size of the waves - then scroll left to where Bude cricket club are ignoring the offshore breeze as they go on to win their match.MingtheMerciless wrote: ↑Sat Sep 23, 2023 8:22 pm Early doors sea swim in 4-5ft surf. Nice with offshore breeze but lacking oomph.
Now drinking Gin and listening to the rising wind, tomorrows swim may well be a survival lesson.

Been shopping for grog & tucker.
Yesterday I fitted the new seat covers to the SBH
Today I'm going to fuck with them a bit more to improve the fit

Got out on the bike for the afternoon, and had a meet up with Beanie at Boxhill.
Nice day for a ride, but the traffic and road condition were a bit of a shock after the high quality empty back roads in France

That's Garth...The worlds smallest Doberman. Has a bark out of all proportion to his 10lb size, sounds more like a 70lb dog

I offered to take my wife and son out for a Sunday roast, but my son eclined saying they're never as good as Mums. This inspired my wife make one and by Christ the boy was right and she made a sponge cake too. Dinner of the year so far!

Was behind a de-badged merc for part of my commute home, looked like an AMG spec C Class Coupe with the registration GAM3R.
I looked at the MOT history, it's a 2016 with over 100k on the clock, so it's probably not anyone famous.

Re: What have you done today thread?
Drained the pool today and jet washed the liner as level dropped.
But last 6" wouldn't shift as below the pump room level.
So me and neighbour cobbled together the pump from fountain. Didn't have relevant connections so was held in place by lots of lockwire and hope.
Ready to fit the top trim tmrw.

Re: What have you done today thread?
Similar job here. Drained ours as having a water loss issue which the pool guy thinks is the pipework leading the the water inlets. Coming tomorrow to test pipework and prepare for replacement.Yorick wrote: ↑Mon Sep 25, 2023 6:54 pm Drained the pool today and jet washed the liner as level dropped.

Re: What have you done today thread?
I made a friend today!
Parked up for the night, and some random frenchie rocks up on an electric bike with a dog straddling the bars. Starts telling me he's got a moho just the same etc, we have a bit of a natter, show him what I've done, he cant believe the mileage I've done or the damage it had last year, and off he goes.
20 mins later he's back, inviting me for drinks at his place.....ah what the hell!
I get the electric tredder out and off we go. Wish I'd taken my phone. Perigordian towers, lift, Matra Murena in the garage he's had from new and a mint moho with just a couple of issues.
So we sat, drank some (glad I'm not driving til tomorrow) pastis, petted the dog, talked rugby, storms and a bit of politics.
Funny old world innit!

The one and only car I regret selling.
Begsie first dobs if selling.
Done anything with it? Still running the old Kent engine?

Re: What have you done today thread?
Same Engine. Not done anything with it except maintain it (I fixed that niggly little oil leak).
It's a real head turner as you know.
Don't think I'll ever sell. Had loads of offers over the years.

As long as it's still known by the moniker Gremlinette gave it, 'Colonel Mustard', then all's good.
