What have you done today thread?

[Yorick]

Looks and sounds like a real faff!

Nope. It all runs well. About 15 mins for whole test.

So all paper work and no real vehicle inspection? You cant properly check a vehicle over in 15 minutes! Un defecto en tu idilio...

First guy checks all doors, seatbelts, lights etc.
Second does lots of brake tests.
Next guy puts car on suspension and steering rig and checks underneath while he's downstairs.
Last guy does emissions.

Might have been a bit longer than 15 mins, but felt like we were in and out in no time.

The office does all the paperwork.

It's increasingly a bollox even trying to get a date here,especially with a centre near me. I may need to travel just to get a failure,then repeat the process. My Da used to sell his car and buy a new one before the first MOT at 4 years,just to avoid the hassle.

There's 2 queues. The left one is for folk with appointments. I actually went through a different track on the other side of the car park as it was a re-test.

Did a sort of unplanned ski tour this morning! I was half thinking about it but kind knew I'd bail and have a lie in when a friend said "Andy's taking me to the station for 5.30, so he'll be around - maybe he'd go with you?"

He did. We met for a first ever ski tour for him - just to see if he liked it. He did. So we're probably going out next week as I'm working on fitness and he just want's to get better at ski touring cos his wife really loves it

So, more gratuitous mountain shots!

Kiss in the sky -




Sun almost up and a piste badger to the left coming down towards us!




Bloody love these machines -






We didn't stay for the sun to come right up over the mountain, but this is a sunrise shot The main reason I do this. The peace and the quite and mental healing is amazing, but to actually see the sun come over the mountain is awesome

Out of interest, is rust an issue on cars on the islands, or does the heat keep it at bay?

No rust coz it never rains. We see loads of ancient Mercs still running.

Spent the evening in the church with a drunk troubled young man who is finding life hard and lust difficult to deal with. I can only listen, pray and give him gentle advice. And charge his flat iPhone up for him so that he can contact his family and get home safely.

Could have been me 35 years ago. But for the grace of God, there go I.

Went to Costco, the wife took so long I missed the first half of the rugby.

[Mr. Dazzle]

I didn't even know Costco had Rugby.

Took the step f-I-l to have his cataract done. On the way home, I really messed with his head by keep turning the heated screen on and off, which makes the screen blurry/fuzzy to look through.i was near wetting myself at his comments of its going funny, I might need to go back, no it’s alright now. I had to tell him in the end before I crashed as I was laughing so much. Him, less so…

[Taipan]

Don’t wanna worry anyone but just wanted to let everyone know that I have been admitted into hospital and they are keeping me in. I have only gone and poisoned myself. What I thought was an onion turned out to be a daffodil bulb. They said I should be out sometime in the spring…

For a moment I though your f-i-l had wreaked his revenge.

There was someone on TRC who used to turn the heated seats to full when his wife was asleep and turn them off before she woke up.
