Re: What have you done today thread?
Working from home frying my head studying the new(to us) electrical area we'll be taking on in the new year, not helped by up to date diagrams and older safety paperwork so occasionally things didn't tally between the two or were just plain wrong. Also not helped by the myriad of junctions and crossings the area is littered with (S London).

Re: What have you done today thread?
Had a great 3 hour enduro with the missus. She still hates sand but she's starting to understand it. Every ride has some sandy bits in so she needs to master it.
Then I binned her bike over a jump while 'checking it over'
Then amazing hot spicy chicken burgers at our fave seaside restaurant at Famara.
She was done by then so wanted to come home by road. So I came home on one of my favourite technical rides
Jumped straight in the pool when we got home. The water has dropped to 26c and a bit brrrr.
Now having a cold beer in the sun.
Life could be worse

If you get any norverners in just give them an additional side of mushy peas and all will be well...

How is one supposed to eat that F400?
I'm never going to do so but I'm interested just like I'm interested when I get a knife and fork with a burger.

Tried to book a couple of place on a CS30 (maintenance & cross cutting) chainsaw course.

Staying 6ft away from someone when they’re waving a chainsaw about probably isn’t the worst idea anyway.MrLongbeard wrote: ↑Wed Oct 28, 2020 10:30 pm Tried to book a couple of place on a CS30 (maintenance & cross cutting) chainsaw course.

Re: What have you done today thread?
Took the bike out yesterday for probably the last time this year.
The roads were slippery and covered in mud dragged out from the fields by tractors.
I don’t mind being an all year round biker but it’s gotta be fun going out and a hulking beast like a Sprint GT isn’t the bike for B roads in winter.

Went to see the physio following surgery on my hand. She's a bit of nutter, half the appointment was physio then she got the tarot cards out and predicted my future. Apparently my future looks good.
