It was too hot to try the new windbreak over the weekend so we have assembled it in the garden
Got fed up with the tapping tool, ordered 12 (need 6) m6 (6mm inside diameter) screw collars which will slide over the pins and tighten to the pin, coming from China but should be here not next weekend but the weekend after
Wasn’t a design error it was Spitty having a Blonde Moment, the support leg gets sandwiched between the cross poles so the pinned down material stops the movement and the support leg sliding off 
I’ll support leg, you can count on me to have a ham salad and egg mayo.
Next weeks photos will be the Dometic Driveaway awning in the Garden, practice makes perfect, might camp in it for the night, tents were never that expensive back in the day 
But they weren’t inflatable back then.
The biggest problem here is, how to get stuff back in the bag 
i always think, don’t get involved
Planning is the key.
Pick the new workhorse up today, feel a bit sad, it was the young ladies faithful companion for the last eight years, I will do my best to nurse it for the next 85 days.
Where’s the missing tit, and why?
I would just guess, some folks nick VW badges, some nick the Tit from Titanium , they’re just avin a laff
Odd sense of humour, but yeah, I thought as much.
The anium has just been collected for its final journey, just gotta achieve 85 days with the replacement.
We had 27 brand new cars between 1989 and 1996, then we kept one till 2005 my wife has had six or seven new ones since then. I have needed a workhorse since 2002 so could not use a new vehicle as it would get wrecked, so as such, I have probably got through 30 used examples since then, at official retirement age, I am going to buy my first brand car in my own right (maybe a Leccy one), no idea yet as I ain’t give it no thought
Got to try the new Windbreak out, its a great bit of kit and would withstand a Gale
It wasn’t sunny when the windbreak was assembled but, I had to mallet in 18 ground pegs which made me break a sweat, so, for next time these are the order of the day
Came back a bit early this weekend because we noticed water ingress around a window seal, now waiting for a warranty booking but, out of interest I bought one of these.
