Balls to it. Theres only so many days in a row I can work without proper break. 8.26pm on a monday, the perfect time to blow the schedule out of the water and have a glass of wine. Chin chin.

How you doing with the CB @Saul?

Haven't had much chance to ride so far mate, I picked it up last Friday and did around 40 miles, then worked all weekend and spent what spare time I had watching the 6 nations. 

My youngest is being a bit full on at the moment and has a bee in her bonnett about turning our conservatory into her room.    To be honest I don't mind as the conservatory itself has been a dumping room for the last two or three. years.  She has been at it for days and working bleddy hard so I am duty bound to help her out.   Looks like I am building her a bed base today and helping her paint it.   On top of that my choir has a concert this Saturday and I have a solo part that needs practice, tis all go, so long story short I haven't ridden the CB much. 

Damerells have been on the phone and I have booked the CB in next Tuesday to have heated grips fitted, that was part of the deal but they didn't have the right size ones it stock so I chose to pick the CB up rather than wait.  Hence why it has to go back in.  don't mind thoough they have a great Cafe up there so can take the bike up have my dinner while they work on it then pop over to Newquay or Padstow for a bimble when they are finished.

Wonder how long before they move your RE on?

Your flu finally gone @Clive?

We're still quite nasally and occasionally I get a bit of phlegm in my throat which gets me coughing......but overall we're feeling a bit better.

Still a way to go though!

Parts readily available?

Nope 😂............the brakes are no worry.........but it does not have the tank petrol cap fitted.....for how long?.....rusty tank?

Most important thing is, does the FI light stay on or flash, if it does its a sign that the control box is on the way out, and that's a very big problem.

If anyone already has a CFMoto 650Tr it could be a good donor bike.......I would offer him £450 for it, no more, too many if and buts about it condition.

Dunno mate, they turn over a lot of bikes there so it wouldn't surprise me if it was gone by the time I get up there next Tuesday.  They had one exactly the same as mine in the showroom a couple of weeks ago, same colour same year similar miles and that one has gone.  It's a very popular bike no matter how much hate they get on here, you see loads of them around.  😉👍

Today I have been mostly swearing at my fecking Metabo mitre saw that decided to give up the ghost just when I needed it. Pretty sure it can be fixed but didn’t have the time so had to resort to an antique that was my Dads to get the job done.  Anyway fixed Little Bits bed so at least she is happy.

Nice work! She'll boil in there in the summer won't she?! 

I quite fancy a thread along the lines of "What you made/making/bodged" because there's a lot of resourceful people on here doing things I think we'd all enjoy seeing. What do you think?

I do not have the tools or facilities to do any jobs like that.......so most things I do are bodged. 😂

But in the month of March I can watch the professionals at work.

They are coming to (try) do the repairs on the mould/damp on the ceilings and walls, and sort out the windows too.

The girl/woman who spoke to my wife and said it will cause such a mess that they will redecorate all through the bungalow, we don't have wallpaper so the job will be easier for them. 

Hope we ain't living in a building site for the month.

I love a good bodge.

Although if its a good bodge I tend to think of them as resourceful fixes, and if they're bad more of a farmer fix 😂

My epoxy resin 'fix' of the fridge handle back on last week was definitely a farmer fix, glad its out in the garage and I don't have to look at it 😮😆

She will feel the heat in the summer and the cold tonight.  I tried to tell her but 15 year olds won't listen.   She is so obsessed with having her own room away from her sister, who is an angel in comparison.  Mind you I have to give her credit she has worked her backside off sorting the conservatory as it has been a tack room/dump room for at least the last three years.    We are researching repairing the blinds at the moment as some of the clips are broken.   They gotta be 20 years old.

I think that is a very good idea.  I might start a shed building thread as that is my next task.  Now the weather seems to be improving I want to get on with it.
