YamaHead Posted yesterday at 02:37 Share Posted yesterday at 02:37 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.... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saul Posted yesterday at 11:04 Share Posted yesterday at 11:04 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted yesterday at 13:18 Share Posted yesterday at 13:18 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. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes you think the other one someone else is selling for cheap won't have the same issues? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted yesterday at 13:46 Share Posted yesterday at 13:46 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 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MooN Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago At the request of our two youngest, home from uni or a couple of weeks we have done Christmas at home, just the 5 of us this year. being skint ( as ever) we just did really cheapo gifts this year, but as meny as possible, individually wrapped under the tree so that here was a huge pile of them. I think a pocket knif that the 3 girls clubbed together for and gave to me was the most expensive one on the year. We had beer, wine and nibbles till late last night, did the presents this morning and had a proper Christmas dinner with Poularde Roti, Gratin Dauphinoise, ( that's roast fat chicken and spuds in cream sauce to you along with broccoli, yorkshire pudding and gravy. preceeded by aperitifs and accompanied by a nice local red wine. Now I am doing my best imitation of a beached whale on the sofa... 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
