Gorgeous looking water, too!

He's lucky none of us were there we'd have chucked him in mainly to check the water depth

No.....not the bike! Obviously I have no idea how to do shit like that.

I'm talking about the reservoirs, because we've had years of very little rain. And there's now a serious drought situation.

Now I'm not one who normally looks for more rain, but every year the price of straw for the horses has been going up.

We used to pay around €400 for a year's worth......but last it was €1200 and we had to have it brought in from Albacete. Which is about 150 miles away.

So an increase in rainfall and the filling of the reservoirs is critical.....not just here, but throughout Spain. So off I went to check the current situation.

Luckily, the weather was great......around 20c! So it was perfect conditions!

The approached into Castril.......and the wall of the Dam.

This is The Style!

I was amazed when I saw the levels in Castril because when I came here last Summer it was very low indeed. This is probably the highest I've seen it in 5 years!

It's nowhere near it's highest, but the water line has gone up a lot.

Two car loads of a Spanish family then turned up......three generations of them. So I ended up having to take a load of group photos of them.

They weren't from Andalucia because they were speaking Spanish in a grammatically correct way rather than slurring words and leaving out letters in words. 

Lovely people......couple of hot girls in their 20's with them. I wanted to show them my pussy and get a photo with those two, but I couldn't very well tell the rest of the family to get out of the way! 

Then it was on to San Clemente.......the levels there had risen a bit but nothing like the scale it had in Castril.

Most of the land you see here was underwater when I came here in 2005......

Had to get the obligatory shot on the bridge.....obviously destined to be BOTM for April.

Bike ran great as usual.......these rural roads are the perfect place for it. And it actually made me think......"Why am I considering selling it?"

Well there we are! I got out and did something......and in doing so, I made a positive contribution to the forum!

Some of you lot should try it sometime!

Not a bad ride around then pete, how far did you travel today then, im planning to go out on my bike during the next 2 weeks while I'm off on paternity leave

That's great Phil how old is the newborn now?

I'm bringing the mrs and the boy home after 8.25pm tonight, given the epilepsy meds hazell is on he needed observations for 48 hrs to make sure he wasn't getting any withdrawal symptoms but all is good.

Hey @busabeast, might we be looking at the youngest ever member of the forum?

There could well be a possibility of that, but for that first he'd need to own a bike wouldn't he?

I meant it as a compliment. Must be a great feeling.

Haha I know you did mate, he's a great little fella, even if neither of us slept a wink last night

Congratulations! He does look like you!

Haha the poor bugger, though you're not the only one that has said that

Congratulations.  

Thanks Saul, it was a close run thing though, we didn't have long before he'd have been born either at home or in the car, once we got to the delivery suite it was 12 minutes from the moment she got on the bed to him entering the world

Shouldn't you be off stocking up on Yorkie bars?

i would have been but..... it was hospital time at 8pm and he was delivered at 8.25pm.

Both of them are doing very well, we've named him Leo, now that's enough dustbin lids for us, hopefully we will take him home Sunday morning. 

Just now, Buckster said:

No, I believe in barstewardship. 

All hail the ale

Get Wankstain to explain it, he will spend three days telling you how to unscrew the float bowl but never once mention the screws, screwdriver or float bowl.

And you will just say that if you believe then God will do it for you....

So you've bought no new bikes yet you still know manufacturer's warranties are worthless?

Well normally warranties aren't worth the paper they are written on, maybe Chinese ones are different, you may be lucky 

21 minutes ago, XTreme said:

What manufacturers have you bought new bikes from?

None... I don't buy new its not worth it, the depreciation as soon as you ride away is enough to put me off let alone all the teething troubles with new vehicles.... no thanks, I bought a brand new seat ibiza cupra in 2010 and that was in the garage more than on my driveway, put me right off buying new vehicles for life

1 hour ago, XTreme said:

I like variety! 

Also, it's out of warranty now...... so a long manufacturer"s warranty period is great peace of mind. 

Cos this bike will be brand new. 

 warranties aren't worth shit, they will always try and worm their way out of paying 

30 minutes ago, XTreme said:

So I had a different like last week did I?

Why wasn't I told?

Well this is the longest you've ever owned 1 bike for I'll give you that, I just don't get why you feel you need to change bikes so often

1 hour ago, XTreme said:

This is the first one of my bike-buying scenarios you've seen then Saul? 

Long way to go yet......but when we're on the home straight I'll be putting up a Poll! 

Why can't you just be happy with the bike you have instead of keeping changing it every couple of days

15 minutes ago the sun was out and the sky was blue!

Then it went black and started thundering......now it's pissing it down!
