benedwards64 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Currently sat here tuned into Le Mans, and it has occured to me that I've had quite a busy day...! Started this morning with a 62km cycle ride with a friend of mine around Oxfordshire. In the rain. I'm pretty pleased with that, given that it's the furthest I've ridden since the Palace to Palace last year. Since getting back around lunchtime I have: Caught up with Game of Thrones Usual house stuff (cook lunch, do washing etc etc) Set about the Westy - new mirrors all round, bonnet trim fitted, sump guard refitted, earthing problem solved, play in steering rack eliminated, exhaust blow traced to manifold gasket, new gaskets purchased, ready to be refitted tomorrow when I get some gasket paste to stick it all together! Bit of light gardening - we have a row of espaliered apple/pear trees which need completely rewiring, so I've cleared out the old rusty sections to be replaced tomorrow. Finally I nipped down to the supermarket for dinner and a few bits, currently settled in with the 24 Hours on enjoying a nice Bourbon. Cheers everyone! Spot the blow! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John K Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 A perfect day except for the cycling, gardening and Game of Thrones lol. What's your choice of Bourbon? I have a soft spot for Jim Bean or Markers Mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benedwards64 Posted June 14, 2015 Author Share Posted June 14, 2015 Thanks John. One can never have too mane sources of tinkering I find! I'm usually a Buffalo Trace man, but was distracted by a bottle of Bulleit Bourbon - which has turned out to be rather nice! Anyway, today's progress. All done and back together: And a quick run out confirms everything is well. It's amazing how the little things can make such a massive difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benedwards64 Posted June 14, 2015 Author Share Posted June 14, 2015 Probably. If someone turns up with a fist full of cash I might be tempted, but there's a lot of potential yet to be explored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benedwards64 Posted June 14, 2015 Author Share Posted June 14, 2015 Cheers Gary. I'll keep an eye on that, but looks like I might be in the states with work that week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
