Loud bang heard over south east of England reported to be sonic boom from Home Secretary's broomstick.

not much, its still early, had a cup of tea though.

Finally got the new battery tray fitted in the boat having glued the stringers in yesterday. I also glued some timber battens under the gunwales and this morning fitted some clamps to them to hold the engine remotes tidy and out of the way. It's moving on!

Started the day in a way I hoped wouldn't continue -

Coffee
Glass of water
Berocca fizz bomb

Guess where I put the Fizz bomb


For info - berocca in coffee is NOT a taste sensation in a good way!

But things have improved - I've made bao buns (or Bao - as some lovely lady on FB pointed out!!) with bbq pork filling. Some more Chelsea Bus - proper size this time!

Met with some friends to chat whilst their kids did Judo

Got a couple of hours to finish the Bao and Chelsea Buns and chill before going to phsyio!

Half decent Chelsea Buns!!




Probably shouldn't have put ginger in them but it makes them a bit tangy

Nice buns Noggin!

I want to know where she put the Fizz Bomb.

Since the front end is missing on my bike,I took the opportunity to clean the brake calipers/under headstock and all the stuff I normally can't get at. Even the underside of the front mudguard is spotless.

I win the Weeksy OCD award for Wednesday.

I changed my front and back pads last week, given the Tiger failed it's MOT on the rear pads being the thickness of a gnat's tadger. On Saturday I rode it the 20 minutes to the test centre, got it re-tested and passed, rode home, put it away.

Yesterday as I was using my socket set for something totally unrelated, something caught me eye hiding in there. Dug it out, studied it for a second or two and thought to myself, 'That'll be the retaining spring out of the rear caliper'......

I really am a fuck-knuckle at times.

We've all been there.

Back home from hospital.

Had surgery yesterday meaning I've now had half of my thyroid removed, I've now got a nice 5" scar and a tonne of pain, along with 2 weeks enforced layup.

But I didn't die and hopefully the issue no longer exists.

Was gonna say, 'First dobs on this site if you croak', but sod trying to keep a rein on these grumpy ol' fuckers for a game of conkers.

Funny you mention that. Some may have noticed Crust was made an Admin this week and all account information and login stuff passed to him along with our techie contact on PHP forum. He'd have had a learning curve but would get there.

It's been a worry and I struggled massively in the lead up. I don't really do fear or emotions, but this has been challenging.

If I'd known it was old Crusty, I'd have given him a hard time

Trying my best. But anyway, no more to be said, let's move on. I wasn't actually going to mention it bit it came up on single-track forum as I'm not riding for 2-3 weeks and missing the race series. So thought I'd mention it here.
