Your Day Today!

[YamaHead]

Well this old man got some great news today....My son has made it back to OR & is finally out of Israel! Got a text reply from him today telling me he'll be state-side for another year while he waits for his top-secret security clearance to clear before he heads off to Germany into more of an Administrative position w/ the company he works for....No More sand people & war zones to work in! He also told me that my oldest G-son is moving back to OR from NM....so I called him straight away to get the low-down. His job w/ NASA turned out to be a dead end...so he sold his house in NM & scored a job w/ Amazon at a new data center in Hermiston OR...just over an hour away from Elgin ....he starts the 12th of Jan. I'm so stoked & I can't wait to see my Great G-son...he's a beautiful boy & an absolute Chip Off The Old Block....

Been out washing and polishing my old Jalopy this morning.   Gave it a treat for Christmas.   

May make a start with this kit later, if I can get my backside of the sofa.   Mind you if the sun shows it face might go for a bimble around instead.

My Mrs reckons I have got some sort of 'ism' but then again she is a cheeky bitch.    I like shiney car and bikes, not fussed about expensive cars or bikes as long as they are interesting, work well and clean.

Been and filled the car with £35 of Asda,s finest E10, ventured into the shop for a few fresh vegetables, with luck we can avoid the place till the Saturday after New Year.

Wish I had the enthusiasm for cleaning my car like @Saul has, mine is filthy on the outside and just as bad inside too, 

Been weighing up my options, i will run the car till mid summer, then look for a (cheap) car (most likely another Dacia) with a full years MOT on it, what with the rear axle, clutch and exhaust, it is kinda (getting/got) beyond worth the outlay.......I know it's a shitbox, but it has been a good car for the years I have had it.

Merry Christmas to you lot.

What makes you think the other one someone else is selling for cheap won't have the same issues?

Spending Christmas with my mum and my brother, just us three tonight. Day after tomorrow meeting with Sofia for a few days, and would like to take the bike and spend a full day to get there.

Thinking of washing it in a bit, it's dirty from rain on the motorway and it's sunny out, but chilly so might not do it. I'm embarrassed to be on the same forum as @Saul

I would check the known faults, that's why I would get another Dacia, know what to look for, and keep my present one for spares if needed.

Boys and mom should be arriving around 4 pm , super and opening gifts afterwards...that's about it for today...

Just been out on my Triumph, it has sand and some read splatter on it, not dirty but still trying not to think about it.

I ended up giving mine a wash, and a 30 minute ride around the neighborhood too warm it up and get the water out of the nooks.
