Worth trying gloop tyre sealer?

[Mussels]

I've got a tin of rim sealer and did manage to use it successfully before but then it went flat and popped off its rim again.
If I can get it to stay on the rim I can stick it in a bucket of water and see where air is escaping, then slime may be the answer or could be a new valve.
I quick check in Toolstation shows I can get a compressor and air hammer for £150, I can justify the spend as I'll get a fair bit of use from the hammer.

I've got 2 wheels off an Erde pm 310 if that'd help

Thanks but when I looked for alternatives it looks like all the other Erde trailers have bigger wheels. The size I need seems to be most common on wheelbarrows.

I got my wiring done and the lights worked first time.
Then I pottered round the garage shifting stuff round and discovered the pointless soakaway at the back was full up so my next job is to fill it in so I don't have a stagnant puddle in the garage. Coincidentally I have a few tons of clay bagged up in the back garden so that's simple, next I'll find out which way the water flows to get out. I knew I needed to repair the tanking but annoyingly that needs warmer temperatures to cure so I'll be pulling everything out in the summer to do it.
Still in good spirits as I can justify the purchase of a compressor now and various toys to go with it, does anyone know if oil free compressors are significantly louder than oil lubricated ones? Considering how loud compressors are it's annoying shops don't list the dB.

The cheap direct drive oilless ones are very noisy IME. Noisy enough not to want to it be running in the shed when you're in it.

Went to the valley early to get to my first French lesson of the course Awesome. The tutor was impressed with the confidence I have to speak, so that's good (same tutor that I had two courses with two years ago)

Back to resort to go to the pool again. Damn it's still cold!! LOL I know it's so worth going because of the good to my arm and shoulder. But I can't say I actually enjoy it!!! I will when the sun comes out again!! LOL

That's how I remember my last one. I'm still going cheap but cheap oil filled ones aren't a lot more and I'll put up with the slight inconvenience if it keeps my neighbours happy.

Attended an online conference. Was good, but hard going being on a screen all day.

Received email from our solicitors, all bang on with the house sale, everything has gone through smoothly and monies will get to our account on Friday, so we can go house hunting with cash in hand for a whopping deposit. Manchester anyone?

Large veggie pizza for dinner and now I am replete!

I had to make a trip down to Toolstation today for click and collect as they don't deliver 3m long sections of trunking. Decided to check the compressor first, I had bought a compressor, hose and 68 piece air tool kit but of course I was still missing an essential part to make any of it work.
Dunno if I was just lucky when I last bought one twenty years ago but I didn't realise how fiddly connecting all the bits was. There are different types of quick connectors that look almost the same, I don't know if mine are all the same type but they don't fly off or leak loads of air so it's close enough. Even connectors in the kit don't seem to fit each other very well.
Apart from that I got half my power sockets done, just need to take some rubbish down the tip tomorrow so I can reach the consumer unit and wire it all in.
The man cave is almost ready, the first one I've ever had that isn't full to bursting with crap. I'll have a clear workbench with power and USB sockets, lights in the right places and a big Bluetooth speaker for my 80s dance hits.

I finally made it to the Chinese shop in Albertville. It's TINY. But it had everything on my list

Having dropped stuff off to people on the way there and on the way back and almost completed the rest of the shopping list in the big Casino (not the fun one!) before the Chinese, I'm bloody knackered!! LOL

Gonna have to ask some friends to pick up some beansprouts tomorrow as I know they are going to the valley then I can get prepping for Saturday

Dropped wife off at school, came home and found that I needed to be down at the bike service place at 9am not 9.30. Ah well, that is why I have a K1200R. Got there at 9.05 as he was opening up. Was loaned a nice GS1150 (2002 model with 110K on the clocks) for the ride home. Lovely riding position, laid back and relaxed power and handles surprisingly well. Easy to push around corners and vibey! My hands were tingling after my 35mile ride. Hmmm. I'd have one if it was vibe free. Now I wait for all that lovely money from the house sale to reach our account today!

Round 2 on the tooth of doom! Temporary filling removed and after much filing, tugging and manhandling the last of the old plug came out. Tooth filled with bleach and then flushed out before being filled with an alkaline compound to finish off any remaining infection. Hopefully replugged and finished off in 4 weeks time after inflammation has settled. The longer plug below is the tooth being worked on, the slight shadow at its base of the root is the inflamed bit gum/root base that caused the pain which was 5mm wide, its like when you get a blood blister under a finger nail that you haven't popped yet for a pain sensation.

*Shudders.

Took me nearly a fortnight before I could eat proper food again after the last pull.

Had a broken jaw once.
Previously I'd said I'd never had a bat I wouldn't have taken for fifty quid. I changed my mind at that point.

Today I took my wife out for her birthday, the poshest restaurant possible with the nicest views without breaking covid laws.
McDonalds drive through and parked up on top of a hill to eat it.
