Just picked our dog up from the vet. He had vomititus at midnight on Thursday which got so bad that he was throwing up blood. No Idea what caused it and it was bloody scary, but £2000 and lots of worry later and he seems OK now thankfully.

From our local and favorite motorcycle road

I had to take my cat Zippy to see the vet a week last Friday. He had a poorly eye, got a horn in it a year or so ago was treated but was never right. A couple of months ago it sudenly got bad weaping gunk all the time, i had to clean it 4 or 5 times a day. in the mornings it was stuck together and the poor little fella had to put up we me washing and pocking around with Q-tips to get his eye open..Never a spit or swipe. Vet said bring him in, so i did and left him till the phone call_______5pm, come and get him...Poor sod had his eye removed..Was not the thorn but a tooth that did it. Root had gone bad and when he had bitten on some thing hard it had pushed the tooth up and through the roof of his mouth and into his eye..Poor little fella... Anyway he is doing ok now thou my bank account is not

7:00 am ready to go

An hour walk in the morning, takes two hours because we’re stopping to sniff and pee everywhere Today is a national holiday on top of being a saturday, so the village is going into full stupidity mode with all the Lisboners arriving and foreign girls parading everywhere with coffee cups in hand. Me and Luke will shelter from that until tomorrow. I barely managed to keep my sanity with a brief stop by the market.

The new lithium battery will go in front of the ECU and the other electrical stuff can go either partly in front of the battery and /or under the ECU.

A nice pre action shot of the busa in staging lanes at the pod. Im hoping its oriented and composed better now @boboneleg

taken this weekend visiting a friend in the Algarve

Don't worry, if it wins it will get cropped.

Just scraped in by the skin of my teeth ...

He is a mixed breed, but definitely some Jack Russel in there, it’s quite obvious by looking at him but particularly when he gets scared or hurt and his response is to tear apart the next person’s neck and face

Tuna steak and spinach: Favas with chorizo: liver slices with onions: A tipical Ribatejo bifana, which is a pork sandwich Sofia’s delicious lamb croquetes Cabbage and chorizo rice, the best one I ever made because it was top season for cabbage during the coldest bit of the year.

18c here from 12 o clock on until 1900hrs Very not like Welsh weather, did lots doing the new shed base ready for the woodwork guy to come tomorrow. No idea why Tony wants to pay somebody to do the rest. All the hard work we have done I think he ( the woodwork guy ) is a family guy short of work. Tony did a repair on his work van two weeks ago that if not done would have failed the MOT. at no cost.. So he (Tony ) is Human after all.

Because you've got bloody chores to do and a wedding tomorrow.............

Just because, why wouldn’t you go out in this weather.

The stupid ECU doesn't quite fit between the frame bars so I need to mount it high enough so it will fit. I can then use the space under it for the battery connections and some other electrical bits like the indicator resistors etc. The original ECU supports had AV mounts so I guess I should do so again, although the whole thing will be mounted upside down. I made up a plate which will hold the ECU over the new tray with enough space under it to accommodate the other electrical bits. The seat will be mounted higher than the original so I have a plate each side to infiltrate the gap between the frame and the underside of the seat.

Trying to order a new pair of jets for my old C70z2 carb..the crap has set hard in them, not a chance nolonger available i am told. So i took a number 13 numbered drill to them..Clear now. we will wait to see how it runs

Got bored of waiting for Mandi to decide if it was going to rain or not,(and it didn't), so went and watched the touring cars. Ordered oil then realised I'd ordered the wrong type so ordered the right stuff, I can use the wrong in the dominator so no prob. A genuine chain set popped up on Ebay for £100 so that's on the way too.

I voted for the ditch dragger as he finally got one right

What’s happening with you @Clive? Haven’t heard from you in a while.

Just finished work and there is a thick harr rolling in from the Firth of Forth.

I’m not

Out on the Tidler to run a few errands

Managed to connect up the new clock, all the wiring will go under the tank. It looks like a birds nest but next winter I will rewire the whole thing and replace lots of the bulky original stuff with a Mo Unit Blue.

Finished work a bit early today so had a while to think about how to accommodate the big ugly ECU that I cannot get rid of, and the battery, the original used to live in a big box on top of the gearbox housing. The plan is to try to tuck them away under the seat position. The ECU box is the aluminium thing resting on the back of the frame in the two photos above. I made up a tray that hooks onto some existing frame fixings at the front and screws to the underside of the bar which supports the back of the seat.

Where's the fucking bin !!

I can't use cheese eating surrender monkey cams in my superior American steel horse.

I just ordered the cams from the USA.

I voted for Alfalfa on the basis that there is an FTR1200 in the background

Me too, it's a pretty good picture IMHO. Could do with cropping but good image.

Just outside your house?

I spent a lot of time cleaning the engine fins today, what a pain. Hopefully finish it tomorrow.

It wasn’t the dog that was sniffing and peeing everywhere.

Is that for your Dominator ?

Better to be safe than sorry. You wouldn’t want it to reject European ones.

This isn't that kind of forum.

You blink and suddenly they are grown up. You need to make the most of your time with them.

Well today is Leo's 2nd birthday..... how has time gone so quick.... im sure it was only yesterday that he was born
