Re: What have you done today thread?
Well, I've no idea what bus timetable I was looking at - I walked up the piste (for almost an hour!!) and as I arrived at the chalet, the sodding bus pulled up!! I didn't need to walk all that way!
But, actually it was really good. I was knackered but I have more movement in my legs/hips today than I expected!! Turns out that my normal walk keeps my feet closer together than the snowshoes 'like' - so most steps I was scraping the two snowshoes together. Really weird trying to walk and keep my feet apart far enough not to knock the shoes!! LOL
Awesome food, great company - got to spend time with one of my oldest friends here. Normally he's working like a loon all the time (chef in a busy restaurant) so never get to chat.
Then I spent far too long online chatting and so will probably need a snooze later!! LOL

Life is for living. Buy the shoes. Eat the cake. Ride the bikes. Just, ride the bikes!!

Had a go on an Oculous VR set. Bloody impressive bit of kit, particularly as I was brought up on Manic Miner and Pac Man.

Re: What have you done today thread?
Managed a brief session in the shed of little power.
Spent as much time getting the fire going as "doing".
Tidying didnt get a look in. Discovered that the Viceroy WILL fire without the silencer, though it isn't blocked. Battery is a bit crook, so I gave up and came in, encouraged by one of the girl cats crying outside the garage door. Seems if they know I am in there the cat flap is too much effort.

Took the wife out on the BRB, she likes the seat and the foot pegs, she wants a top box as a back rest/safety net.

Unblocked the kitchen/utility drain. Luckily just the outside bit where leaves and other clag had collected in the grating.

Boxing day left over pizza.
I've been improving my sourdough technique through 2020 and it's paying dividends in my Pizza.

Re: What have you done today thread?
It was a lovely day so we decided to head up into the hills with Penny's musical pals. After the heavy rain at start of the month, the island is quite green. It's usually cooler in the hills, but was still lovely and warm
Then a few beers in a beach bar where they had silly beer glasses

Re: What have you done today thread?
Cleared up after yesterday, had a few beers, walked the dog then beat the future daughter in law at Monopoly. That wouldnt be something i would normally mention except for the following reasons
A) She never loses at Monopoly
B) I hate playing it so normally give up as i get bored
C) She never ever loses at Monopoly
D) I have never seen her so quiet at Monopoly while watching her property empire vanish tonight
<Smug Face>

Re: What have you done today thread?
Sat around the pool all morning, all five of us, reminiscing on 30yrs of history.
Some funny things coming out, stuff the girls did that we didn't know about from when they were kids, funny relatives and events that we'd forgotten about, etc.
It's amazing thinking back over decades of family and watching kids grow up, our eldest was talking about going on holiday to Mallorca 20yrs ago and me teaching her to dive in the pool, it doesn't seem like twenty years ago.

Re: What have you done today thread?
Went to the RockStore, then a hoon down Encinal Cyn in the Camaro where my driving style apparently caused two drivers to pull over to get out of the way, one of which was some youngin' in a Scooby WRX Then up PCH, hit the beach next to the rifle range at Pt Mugu, inland to Camarillo for lunch. Then drove home, 97 miles in an hour & 9 minutes. Really liking this lack of traffic due to the lockdown

Just did it ...for a few minutes I couldn't work out which way it went as I forgot the strap goes on the inside of the foot peg.Taipan wrote: ↑Sun Dec 27, 2020 9:42 amThe Fakeropvic?

I used exhaust paste and proper clamps - the previous time the springs were too slack so I got the right size clamp.
Fired it up and no more leaks from the can end .
Nice gentle duff duff sound and looks the part .
Ran it up to temp and I'll go for a spin tomorrow .
