Your Day Today!

[Sir Fallsalot]

Had a few hours out on the XR tonight pretty much the same route i done on the X Trainer a few weeks ago.
People locking gates on the highway again i dropped into the drainage ditch further over to the right to get around as the horse access is a nightmare to get over, the sleepers are placed so when the front wheel hits the furthest one, the rear wheel hits the near one. Easy to wheelie over but i'm not good enough for that.

Had a little incident on the lane in Abercynon, I normally go down the elbow which is the correct route but is quite rocky and hard work, so decided to cut the corner but forgot it was pissing down all night which made everything slippery, lost the front end done a lovely forward roll followed by a few barrel rolls, didn't think i was going to stop at one point.

 

Plenty of young ladies about caring for their offspring, i had to kill the ones that looked like me 

Look at those wind turbine spoiling the horizon

I think I've fixed my central heating leak today and @Catteeclan you were right boiler is fucked, I suspected the main heat exchanger is cracked and was told that was the end of the boilers life even though it is only 7 years old, after a quick google search i found a reconditioned heat exchanger for £144 with a years warranty and a YouTube video of my exact boiler showing how to change it . Took me about 3 hours to change and with no cuts to my hands lol, i will know tomorrow if it has fixed the problem

This is the old heat exchanger stripped down, the reconditioned part came complete with all sensors and probes

This is of the bottom of it and connects to the condense trap that white shit shouldn't be in there

Most I ever ended up with was 20 stitches in my foot, nothing worse ever happened,  but it was not through the lack of trying.  

 

Glad you lived lived to tell the tale.
