It’s been a busy day in the workshop fixing machines, adjusting units, stripping parts down for inspection, seeing what’s needing replaced and being built back up ready for fitting.

Re: What have you done today thread?
Did the favourite walk again. It's only 5 miles but it's
Sat in the sun and had lunch watching a 'flock' of buzzards (well, 7) doing the gyre thing + a bit of the 'Oi! get off my patch thing'. A red kite got a bit of height and then glided off a few miles to the east. Got to be one of the best places on the planet just to sit. (Anyone doing MTB stuff in/near the Surrey Hills there's an excellent, but little known, bacon butty opportunity nearby on the right days of the week too).
Oi loiks this place.

LOL! Not sure WTF is going on, middle 1/3rd of the forearm feels like I hit it with a hammer or tightened it in a vise.

Re: What have you done today thread?
Spent the PM in the Coastwatch lookout. Nice afternoon, rising tide and the first numpties of the year to get cut off by the tide. Lifted off by the Fowey ILB and dropped on the beach about 100 yards away as the crow flies. The ILB of course went back out into deep water, and then ran in again through the surf to the beach. With a brisk wind and a choppy sea I have the feeling they may have got slightly damp, which I hope will remind them to take better care next time. Bloody emmets!

Re: What have you done today thread?
Last night, but....
Swapped the clutch fluid in the Rockster...
eeuuwww...
New fluid in (after cleaning out the m/c reservoir) and the action seems back to normal. Yay! Will keep an eye on it to see if it starts going dark again quickly (indicates the push-rod seal in the slave has gone), and hopefully will get out on it tonight.

Re: What have you done today thread?
Just sent a form off to HR to increase my AVCs into my pension. Kinda makes sense for a number of financial reasons, but, fuck me, it's starting to hit home how bloody old I am.

Still paying IN to a pension? You are just a boy! Real old is taking it out again.

Re: What have you done today thread?
Did a dump run to get rid of some building waste and rubbish from spawn's house.
Came back with a couple of good saucepans, a toolmaker's clamp (Moore and Wright too), two pairs of work trousers and a coverall (all with tags still on, but logoed up) and an inflatable dinghy that has one very small puncture.
I'd call that a win.

Re: What have you done today thread?
Removed all last year's growth from half the pollarded willow trees in the garden. Got enough willow 'whips' to start a basket-weaving business.
I don't particularly enjoy gardening (wish I did! Or better still find another decent gardener instead of the 'mow, blow, go' people ) but some jobs are OK when it means I get to wield my Silky Zubat, the finest pruning saw known to mankind.
(Some of last years' growth is over 3/4" thick).

I put shit loads into AVCs, not so sure if it's a good idea or not, but it keeps my salary down as far as the tax man is concerned.

Re: What have you done today thread?
Several meetings, then taking Holy Communion to someone who is housebound. Off to another pastoral visit, then to the afternoon "oldies club" where I did a thought of the day. Then another pastoral visit and back home this afternoon. Somehow I managed to pack in a shopping visit as well, so we have food for Easter when a good friend is visiting (and our son comes home for a short stay), so bought rump steaks for them to enjoy. Me, I'll have tuna steak being pescatarian. A good day today.

Re: What have you done today thread?
Just rolled off a brutal run of 5 nights. 1hrs kip then dog No.2 to vets for eye check up, ulcer from running into something is healing well but you need more drops etc so £95. Stopped at Butcher's to get Sunday roast for work. Later I'm off to the car dealer to possibly put a deposit down on an new Hyundai Tuscon, this may not go well as I'm running on a serious sleep deficit and if they think I'm paying list when CarWow are showing 4-6% off from dealers in the South it may be a short visit.
