Big update, first time the tiny tree has flowers!

I think he had to get his abacus out of the cupboard for that one..............

When the belt on my bike finally says goodbye which could be another 50k miles yet I will need sprockets as well. On a whim I was looking online at them and they go for a bit more than £400, ouch. However I found a dealer selling off new old stock and got him to £106 for this one which is the standard one for my bike. It will save some dosh down the line.

Just had a look at the results good job i didn't vote i was going to vote for Buckster which would have made it a draw.

Bloody hell i didn't get to vote that was over quick and thanks to all who voted

video any action , you could start a nightly show.... The Equalizer , black up and you could be Denzil.

Got Miss America up on the ramp this morning as I needed to check a few things after last weeks camping trip. New front brake pads fitted , the old ones were about half worn but I have a trip to France in 3 weeks time so might as well fit new now....... Put the o/e wheels back in and then decided to check out the exhaust bolts as I have a new Delkevic system I could fit. The FMF silencer currently fitted is a little bit loud, all the fitting came loose except fro the usual fecker on the clamp........... I gave a it a good soaking with WD-40 and used a lot of heat but it's not coming off yet, I may take the dremmel to it later with a small cutting disc (if I've got one) .

Pete’s fun, it’s special!

Picked the seeds off the ground in Morocco October 2017, germination was october or november 2017, brought it here to the south October 2020, first flowers today. It’s still tiny though, a very slow growing tree.

Brilliant, my brother said a buck deer was standing on a chip pile looking in the second floor window, that would have been a good image.

What Tym said!

It’s okay @Six30, he doesn’t want you to pick up the communion wafer, you can stop shaking now.

Little argan tree is doing great, and enjoying the current heat

Miss America arrived yesterday and after sorting the swap and quick cup of tea Sarge headed off on the T700 for his homeland (Wales) for the night........... I had a couple of hours getting au fait with my new (to me) Donkey. First thing to come off was the O/E seat which I replaced with my 15 year old corbin......... I also fitted my sacrificial side panels as the O/E panels are too tidy to leave on and get rubbed by my luggage. Then I removed the O/E rack and pannier rails and fitted my Scaggs rack and copy pelicase...... and last job before it got too late was to fit the JNS headlight..........

So today my tree was brought home. Maria picked a handful of Argan nuts off the floor in Morocco, and about 3 years ago I one of them started growing with a little help from myself: Yesterday, aproximately 3 years since it started growing, I wanted to give it a chance to grow and this home is where it belongs. So, using a friend's van I drove it 250km home And it was put on the ground with the help of a stake to help it cope with the high wind here for the first few weeks, and also to help straighten her a little bit. I finished watering when it was already dark and freezing. Also brought 60 new plants to help turn this garden around, so tomorrow is going to be busy gardening.

Tick tock your time is up.

No idea.

we’ll see about that when you log in after dark, and half asleep are confronted with picture of Pete’s lower belly, half ginger pubes half mange. I don’t bodyshame, but that’s borderline mind rape!

The sprocket?

Somebody switched votes on me all i have to say is

And another day for people to switch votes and change the result. So you really just spoiled Pete’s fun

It was a great picture, yours!

Yes, Peter

Awesome!

MOTY/TOTY hands down already! Mark my words!

Dont be silly a BMW is never "fixed"

Oh NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Taste crime!

That's the way I look at it Pedro! I'll use the year's guarantee to get as much replaced as I can.

It’s an old bike needing an oil seal that should have been changed by now anyway, no big deal. Not bike of the month materail with that topcase either Pete, I think you’re getting wind up votes!

There needs to be an erection for that and we are still waiting....just sayin

Fitted my tool tube to Miss America today.............

This morning I rode it into work so we could see if the header bolts would free up as I have a new exhaust system to fit, I think we caught them just in time before they became welded to the head........ We replaced them with some Ducati items (temporary fix) as we will fit studs and copper nuts when the new exhaust system goes on .............. The bike rides really well, it has a strong mid range with the TM40 and the suspension soaks up all the pot holes nicely

That's brilliant Pedro and a great reminder of the times you spent with Maria

Just finished a stint of gardening starting at 8AM, and the sun is just now coming out from over the fog It was getting painful to see the garden looking like it was abandoned, so hopefully some of these plants will spread and prevent most of the nasty weeds appearing so strongly. Antonio, the gardener, works at an amazing pace, we planted 60 new plants today and I could hardly keep up with gently watering new holes, and new plants, and basically being his helper. Overall, I think there are about 120 or so new things in this garden now since three weeks ago, I'm curious to see if things will pick up, rain would be a bonus over the next few days.
