And here is something to remember what ever you do if you have very cold hands never ever put them under a hot tap i have done i and never again the aching was phenominal , you learn from your mistakes i certainly did that day never done it again since Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't be doing that again. My heated gloves are Keis 601, and the cold went right through them. I have some polar expedition type mits which are great at -25 C but even those I needed a chemical hand warmer in each one below that temp.

It's the main route up through the garden, the dog is charging up and down there several times a day, it's also the main route to get my bikes put away so it's hard on the grass this time of year. You can get grow through vehicle matting to lay on the grass to stabilise it. I think I will be buying some of that soon as I don't want to take my bikes out because it's almost impossible to get them back up the path on my own they just spin up and tear the grass up more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saul Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 If it were up to me I would put in a gravel path but my Mrs likes to call the shots in the garden . I couldn’t care less, she leaves me alone regarding bikes and stuff so that’s all I care about really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is full of rabbit scrapes where they start to dig a small hole then move 4 feet and do it again.

Clive Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 We swapped from Sky tv & Internet to Virgin tv & Internet, what a big mistake that was. We have their basic package, which is so great! we can't record programmes, back to Sky (even though it costs more) as soon as possible.......

I can totally relate to that Bob....my lower back, on the left side just above my hip, has been giving me grief since 2012 when I high-sided off the Kymco cruiser I had. I've found that CBD oil helps w/ relief quite a bit...but of course, I ran out yesterday... I'll have to make another trip to Sumpter by next week before I drive to Portland on the 31st for a funeral, where I'll also get to see my son & Grandkids. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 This is Puskas, after 2 years of living in a shelter in Northern Portugal, sleeping with shelter from the rain but not from the cold he has now found out about central heating and soft beds and pillows and toys. He’s enjoying the warmth while outside the cold storms are hitting strong. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
