I've seen that one before, very interesting though!

do it as well as you can,but learn to do it better
hope everyone had a great Crimbo and a good evening last night ... Happy New Year and decade to you all 
Christmas with the little uns was a combination of getting coughed, sneezed or vom.ed on ..... with the inevitable consequence of catching a whole new variety of bugs .... not been great for the last week or so !!
rather knackered my planned new bits fitting regime for the P38 and have done what I can, as I summoned the enthusiasm, between Clara visits, the rain and feeling shite.
been a right bitch of a job .... 20 odd years of salt attack has not been kind to the old girl, with several bolt heads eaten down a few sizes !!
just getting it to this point ... what should've been a POP .... was uphill
and getting it to this was hard fought ....
swivels are fine .... but the rubbers are banjaxed ... MOT man wasn't happy last year and said change 'em ... the rubbers that is .... gotta split it all so might as well do the complete works ....
bottom joint has an 'adjustable' collet holding the taper .... would like to meet the **ick who designed that
constant pressure/tension at max. with heat and much thrashing .....
has resulted in ...... zero progress .... I've 'played nice' ....... now it's gas axe time ......... I miss my 4 poster .. soooo much ... might see if i can buy it back ... don't think the mate I sold it to has used it .... could sit it anywhere on me patch on its base frame
Rough night last night from all the grunting, heaving and straining ... not allowed to play today ... feel fine ATM .. lot better than I did at 03.00 ... but that'd be the Tramadol cocktail talking ... like having a new body

AH!!! ..... could beProblem being the 4 dogs
.... but you'd be surprised how laid back the cats can be ... Pam's sister and BIL have a lunatic spaniel that visits occasionally .... and has learnt her place in the order of things ... four at a time may be a different story though

having dragged my sorry arse outside today ..... man flu ... no sleep last couple of nights ... drowning in snot ..... must've looked as rough as I felt - actually been getting sympathetic noises from the boss ..........the hub carrier's ball joints had to have the disc ...
top one was spinning.... and having successfully undone the bottom nut, had the windy chisel on it, with a ball joint splitter fork, crow bar and all manner of other tactics ................. I cut the ****er off
that ABS sensor was a total bar steward to get out too
.... two on order ... hour plus to remove it ... totally welded into its copper sleeve, which was also welded into the carrier ........
lollipop stone and flap wheel in the die grinder later and it looked a lot better ... might get a bit more refinement, once I have the new bits for a measure up first .. don't want 'em ending up loose in there
needle gun on the casting next time I'm out there ... hopefully tomorrow ... 'sposed to be sunny tomorrow.. wind was enough to take your ears off today and enthusiasm levels were in the minus category
can well see the rest of the bits of ball joints, in the forks, getting the gas axe to extract them ... no way are they going to press out, looking at the state of 'em
...... special tool or not .... be handy for pressing the new ones in though
the hard won remnants .....
.. so far, today
if I can get some zeds, upright, in a chair tonight, without drowning, I'll be well happy .... I'm a grumpy ****er, deprived of sleep ☹

the sun eventually shone, this afternoon .... to burn the fog off .... been bitter here all day .... enthusiasm has been -10 all day, especially when Pam kept presenting me with barrow loads of garden crap for burning .... done six stuffed and over flowing, this afters .... dunno WTF she gets it all from .... must've been half a small woodland
...... and smoke !! even with me flame wand attached to a large propane bottle, took some getting going .... I'm kippered ........ did look at the axle for five .... but a look was all it got .... just could not be arsed to wrestle with it ... mañana!!

had the last one (hopefully) of these yesterday ...
after almost eight years doing it .... gonna be odd, not surrendering 2 hrs of a Monday morning to the chair.
set me alarms on't phone for 12 hourly alerts .... starting 10.30 this morning for me first one o' these ......
had #2 at 22.30 ....
real fancy box they come in ... with a 'lock' .... press at "1" and pull at "2" ..
tha's a weeks-worth ..... ... get a months-worth delivered at a time, like with the enzyme, for a few months to see how it goes .... bit 'experimental' ... told there's only about 25 others on it ATM ... if me body'll cope with it they'll let me have 3 months-worth in a hit ..... and no fridge required ☺ got to give it a go and can always go back to the old regime ... if i have to
Guts are currently grumbling and growling like never before .... well maybe after a serious curry 'praps ..... but no curry tonight .... all fingers crossed for a 'quiet' night !! ....
there's pages of side effects .... but so was there for the enzyme (hamster juice) and only suffered a few, occasionally ......
must confess to being somewhat 'nervous'!!!
