I would not bother with the telly but download a couple of movies to a laptop, that would keep us going for the weekend.
Gave up movies twenty years ago, just do youtube watching “Normal People” doing stuff (Citation needed))
You are an interesting fact.
I hope so.
Finally did the replacement bonnet release cable job on the Beamer yesterday, an expensive and fiddly job, the two bowden cables are £80.00 and the two scuttle keeps £75.00, but, it is very annoying when you can’t get the bonnet open. The reason I got the Beamer relatively the cheap back in 2016 ish was because someone allowed contamination onto the bonnet during some paintwork so, after all these years I replaced the bonnet with one in body colour, now, gotta get some use from it whilst still being able to get in and out of it.
That ones a lot rustier than mine
That’s got “Project” written all over it, hours of fun sourcing parts etc etc
Here is the Pit Bike, back from the dead, it will be sold soon to pay for the Beamers seat recovering
Job for today done, most Moho’s come with a wind out awing which is just a sun canopy really but set into the exterior cover is a channel which a substantial (like a caravan) independent awning can be fitted
Trouble with this is the Moho awning is positioned halfway across the habitation door which would mean the wall of the extra awning would foul it
You can see the extra connection rail i have made and fitted to the existing awning case to avoid drilling the Moho. this rail is 3.3 metres long the same lenght as our driveaway awning
Its only worth putting the full awning up for stays of about 5 days or more which because of work commitments can’t be done till next year so, I will remove the rail for the rest of this season
Just got back, great couple of days, was a bit sweaty on Friday.
Now back to business as usual, the van was scrapped at the end of March and I bought the Mondeo and started using it on April 1st!! It had a fresh (no advisories) MOT and a recorded mileage of 119731 and cost £1095.00. It was hoped it would last till November when pension age is reached and would then be binned. Well, on Monday I noticed the Clutch had started slipping and by Friday, the car was undriveable, so, yet another vehicle is going to recycling on my account (that makes nine in recent years). I got £220.00 for it scrap so it cost £875.00 overall £0.15 per mile. Now before Tuesday I need to get another work horse that will last 86 days so lets see what we get tomorrow
BTW, it’s has 125231 miles on it now (5500 miles covered) that’s how the £0.15p per mile is worked out
It was too hot to try the new windbreak over the weekend so we have assembled it in the garden
There is a design issue in that the support bracket can slip off the pin so, I am going to tap a thread onto the pin so I can put a nut and washer on there
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
