Powder coated sump guard brackets quite pleased as this was first attempt went on to coat the panels of old generator

[Rusty Nuts]

Went to work, called up at Argos and M&S, came home, sandwich and a snooze, watched Pointless, took a shower, waiting for my pizza to cook through, opened a second Spitfire.


Living the dream, eh?

Pushed out the shop 15 bikes
MoT'd 5 bikes
Fitted several pairs of tyres and tubes
Fitted a chain and sprocket kit
Fixed some leaking forks
One oil change
Fixed two punctures

[Barbel Mick]

Got up, had a shit, then a shower & downstairs for breakfast, (porridge!!  ) then off to the allotment for a bit of pre-winter digging.
Two hours of that & went to the daughters to take her dog for a walk & a shit.
Home for some food, Sweetcorn I'd picked at the allotment earlier, then back to the allotment for more digging.
Back home & booked the car in for 4 new tyres! (how much!!  ), a quick change then out to visit a couple of the grandkids for a few hours.
Retuning home sorted some tea, beans on toast, then caught up with some correspondence.
Just sat down for the first bottle of Proper Job.
I don't know where I found the time when I was working. 

And you think you're living the dream Rusty?       

[TLPower]

Yesterday was frantic, absolutely frantic.

Breakfast listening to The Archers, an hour and twenty minutes dog walk, wash dogs feet. Vacuum downstairs carpets, deep clean downstairs carpets, clean out carpet cleaner. Dinner consisting of treacle on toast, start "Annika" second series, another dog walk of thirty minutes, afternoon nap (approx one hour), cup of coffee whilst watching second episode of "Annika". Watch episode's three and four, tea time consisting of macaroni cheese followed by chocolate concrete with chocolate custard, watch episode five of "Annika", evening dog walk of forty five minutes, watch final episode of "Annika".

Shower.

Bed.

Like you Mick, I don't know how I ever found time to work with such a hectic schedule. 

Edit I may have found time to read this thread https://www.v-strom.co.uk/smf/index.php?topic=28845.0;topicseen

[Rusty Nuts]

This is more like a proper bikers forum. Now, was it actually treacle, or the more common and slightly less interesting golden syrup?

[endintears]

@TL
Though basically a factually correct itinerary you've posted not sure it portrays the true picture.
What about the tag, not being allowed more than a mile from home and having to check in with the probation service every two hours...
Just sayin   

[Brockett]

At my age I have no idea what I did yesterday but if the police come round I'll deny everything.

[TLPower]

@Rusty, your pedantry does you credit. Yes, indeed it was Golden Syrup and today it was blackcurrant conserve (not mere jam).

[2112]

Today I was up & out the blocks nice & early and off to work. I got the email I was hoping for and one of our medium sized grid battery sites (49.9MW/99.8MWh) has finally sold ! That means a very pleasant £1,200,000.00 in the company bank account and a hefty 5 figure bonus for me - straight into the pension, zero tax. Happy. Off to Majorca for a weeks wine holiday on Sunday too - happy days 

[MartinW]

I spent most of today reading Mick's reply.

It was long wasn't it?

I don't know where he finds the time.

[Rusty Nuts]

Nice one, 2112. Enjoy Majawker.

[Brockett]

Covid-19 jab today followed by a 2 hours of standing traffic on the A12 North due to a busted HGV in lane 2 adjacent to the Witham on ramp.  So that created a three lanes into one puzzle that was just too much for Essex drivers who have to bash into each other and bring everything to a halt. 

[Barbel Mick]

@Martin, notice the time it was posted! The first proper sit down of the day. 
Life's tough when you're retired! 

[The Doctor 46]

I went for a ride along a little of the Devon coast. What a great day and I'm going to ride all day tomorrow too. 

[Robotstar5]

Replaced the thin chipboard shelves in a shelving unit that is supposed to support 265kg per shelf, didn't take long for my 30kg engines to start bowing them so I bought an 8x4 sheet of 19mm ply and made some new ones.

[Rixington43]

Wow, that's an outstanding collection of Villiers singles you have there.
I've fully rebuilt a couple of MK10s over the past few years and I've got an old Barford in the garage awaiting some love, great fun to tinker on.
What's the big green one on the top shelf, that's not a MK40 is it?

[Robotstar5]

The big green one and the one to it's left are both Mk.20 'V' engines, during wartime production Villiers "de-branded" their engines and simply had "The V Engine" cast into the base. I had a Mk.40 for a couple of years then sold to someone for their autotruck restoration. Current count is about 15 Villiers engines of various types 

[Rixington43]

Here's the 2 I've actually finished, the green one is now back on it's Mayfield tractor. My Dad has a small collection of Landmasters and other garden machines, some even run 

[2112]

Today I've packed my bags ready to head off to Majorca for a weeks wine holiday. Been on loads of these and they are good fun, not as much wine as you would think but quality over quantity. The weather looks great, so see you all in a week
