Fortunately, he's a tough kid...built like his Dad. He's got a coupla broken ribs & a fractured collar bone. So grateful he's fixable. Looking forward to seeing him next week.

Mmmmmmmmmmmm, proper Gammon . Drinking Guinness out of the can and watching chubby porn .........

Been off work this weekend with the lurgy, felt like shit but still tried to get some minor stuff done. Started up the Hornet for 20 minutes to run it up to temperature to keep it happy. Also looking around my big shed/workshop found an Aldi middle aisle vice I bought years ago and had forgotten about. Got it set up in my bike gear shed for some small little jobs which it should be fine for. The Agribatt usb charger is working out fine. Was going to fit a break out switching box for electrical stuff on the CBF but could just not summon up enough fucks to give to actually do it. Lurgy got the better of me. I want to fit the break out/lightening/thunder box to make sure the heated grips switch with the ignition as well as the Aoocchi Apple player thinger I want to fit. The Oxford grips have an auto switch off feature but I don’t trust it, rather they were on the key. Shadow has been out on her bike all day in this weather. She has the biker attitude. I did send her a £10 so she could get some lunch out. She has told me to stop fussing as she has layers on and is not cold.

We know what you were doing.

And also took Maria’s car to go shopping

Went out a got some shopping she'd forgotten and dumped the excess of empty bottles we'd accumulated, that is all. Sat here and done nothing. Pisses me off when I look back as I'm not normally a lazy basted but I'm still sitting here and now got a bottle of wine open.

I believe you when you say the dog sat on the remote but it was unfortunate for you he hit the back button

actually it was in a proper glass , out of shot ..... and i was not watching chubby porn the dog sat on the tv remote

He did say it might turn wet and soft, maybe no inches

You could go and visit them, get drunk on their booze and then you can’t drive home! There, solved it!

Went up to the Dainese outlet and somehow now solved my pants problem by buying something with gore tex, plus my first ever pair of proper touring boots. I’m used to more casual boots more like work boots with proper leather and stitched soles. Hopefully this’ll feel better in the proper winter and rain. Will leave my rain gear at home, and that’ll free some space in the right case.

Chopstick Jim approved

If @Six30 collected fine art

There is a upside to the situation, we have no condensation on any of the windows in the evenings. Ice yeh, but no misted up windows.

Stare at this @Clive.... happy to help .

I’m pretty sure @Skippy has taken up the DBM torch.

We have only had a light dusting, either that or a local druggie has dropped his stash.

It's about 108 miles to Richland WA 1 way.... & it's 280+ miles to Portland from my place. The route I'll be taking to John Day is longer as it's through the center of OR...but MUCH more pleasant as it's on a 2-lane vs. that bloody Interstate.

So how many inches do you think you will get tonight?

Nice drop of Guinness @boboneleg

Just in case you are unaware, there is a motorcycle tour organiser called Turtle Moto Tours ( www.turtlemototours.com) run by me, with the help of Pedro, and that route ( or parts of it) is on the list of what we offer. In case you and your mates would like to come on a hassle free trip, that's what we can do!!

I once faked covid symptoms, that was an easy out to a trip to Spain.

If the bolt is cross threaded or something then it is a problem, for the narrow ones you need carbide or titanium. I find a left hand drill bit often does the job better.

I'm still winning ........................ but it's only been a week .......

Is it just a coincidence that it happened after the Christmas gorging period

hows dry january going ..just going to finish off the port with a lump of cheeses.... just to try and keep the cholesterol down

It’s not ok for you to be home in the snow with no heat or hot water, isn’t there a friend that would be happy to take you for a few days?

I saw it and thought of @Six30

Who are you and how have you got access to @Saul’s account?

Mandis having knee probs amongst others and as she's having trouble getting out of her chair we played with extra cushions and then decided to screw some wood to the under side to raise the whole 2 seater. That was yesterday which as always included some shopping. No chocolate readybrek was found so I'm adding some drinking chocolate to the original flavour, not the same though. Currently sitting here watch the rain, haven't got a clue what to do today.

dry January my arse ...bobs back on it already.

How evolution works.

Possibly the most inappropriately named tool ever. They never bloody work. Tried to extract a mangled screw this afternoon ( not on a bike), half an hr buggering about with the extractor in the end gave up and drilled it and wound it out with mole grips. Has anyone ever actually successfully extracted anything with an easy out, if so what brand did you use? Maybe mine are just shit.

@Pedro, don't listen to them, you will know if you have put on too much weight if @Six30 starts hitting on you.

The outlaws visited us, they did not stop long. It has been sleeting most of the afternoon, so nothing to do apart from watch crap tv

Don’t be so hard on yourself… See? You’re doing something!

I'm getting depressed this is the last weekend off before going back to work on Monday not happy about it so i just ordered myself a dominos be here in two minutes

Yep will do if it is ever here long enough. Was going to do it this morning but her latest Bo is playing rugby in St Austell so she is in their doing the WAG thing. It's coming up for an oil change in 400 miles so will prolly do it all at the same time.
