What have you done today thread?

[Bwana]

You need a winch Bwana.

Missus Bwana isn't able to get it out either.

[MingtheMerciless]

Cooking, well making it up as I go along as Mrs M reminds me not to burn myself

Spent the last 25 days painting most of the rooms inside the house. Have to remember second lockdown for doing something! At last I have some time to sit down and catch up on RTTL!

Haven’t had time to have a look for ages.....

Couple of hours today replacing son no 2's Passat driver's window regulator, exactly 1 week after doing the same for the passenger's one. Can anyone explain why the 2 regulators fail exactly 1 week apart on a 15 year old car? Cables snapped on them both.

First day back working (from home) in about 6 weeks.

Fuck me, I didn't miss it one iota.....

Had a message to say that out rescue pup has left Macedonia and is just crossing the border into Bulgaria. All being well with the Eurotunnel (to quote Homer Simpson "...stupid Brexit.") she should arrive in the UK tomorrow evening with about 30 other rescue dogs. We can collect her on Friday after she's had 48 hours in a UK kennel. Ladies and gentlemen of RTTL, meet Zoë.

Bloody foreign dogs coming here and pinching our owners

Have I missed a story though? Why a forrin dog?

Sadly none of the UK rescue charities will rehome a dog if you've got kids under a certain age. Rehoming from Malta, Croatia and the Balkans is becoming more and more common.

Even SWMBO'd thought that was funny.

There is probably a reason for that.

Yea, and it's a good one. The reason is they don't want to deal with returned animals when a family decides the dog doesn't get on with kids. However, you can go straight to a breeder and buy a puppy with no restrictions. We were lucky and managed to get a 4 month old pup that has been kept with its mum and three siblings since birth so where shouldn't be any unknown behavioural issues. The bonus being we're giving a dog a home that would otherwise be roaming the streets.

Personally I wouldn't take a chance, shoot it in the face, it's the kindest thing to do

It could work, I suppose I've got two other kids...

Why take a chance, do it in front of the dog and tell him that he's next if he gets bitey.

I've got a friend coming over Monday morning with an excavator. Hopefully we won't pull the front off the fucking truck getting it out. If they can get the excavator behind it perhaps we can lift the fucker and fill the holes so it won't be "chocked" in place.

Is it out yet or did you do the decent thing and bury it in situ??

As said before, what's needed is a winch (hooked up to the chassis and the tree in front. Not complicated).
