Still paying for this car in ways I never imagined.

 

That's a small price to pay 🤣

The lads moan like mad when I go in to play in the workshop or bring a new toy back, I’ve said if they want to pay the bills then I’d be more than happy to listen to them! Until then it’s my train set 😂

I have been making removable posts so I can set up my hammock in the sunshine rather than at the top of the garden under the trees. The posts all lift out the ground and the tensioning cables at either end just unclip. Bed for tonight.

It appears when you drop a nuclear bomb on 50,000 wasps 10 yearsago, they had to go somewhere.   Between the wall And plasterboard and into the back of power socket…  CF7598D2-1E0A-4854-B7F0-12BD0E9CF892.thumb.jpeg.edd4b944d5f49e1cc188318b5d2eeb87.jpeg

Moved the brace to clear the exhaust manifold.   As the front end as taken a thump at some time the brace needs to be tensioning the front corner down  so the nose is level.   When I bought it I cut a sliver out the tube and welded it back together which kept the front end level.  It strikes me that the original tube the it’s only got any strength in tension and would buckle if much compression force as applied.   So in-order to tension the tube.  And make it removable for the future…. 4B0052A3-26E8-4758-80A5-7871E6B1B0F1.thumb.jpeg.2ee7b514b2aca1a0e48bee01591ae443.jpeg

Taking a week out to unwind with the family in Forden/Welshpool. 
 

Only snag was Friday, the 3 1/2 hr journey turned out to be 7 because of the gridlocked roads and rain all the way down.
