Unable to contain my enthusiasm to see how much lighter my daughter’s new front wheel/tyre combo would be compared to the original OEM ones, I’ve just squeezed a Nobby Nic onto an XT wheel. With stitches in my thumb. 😯

Turns out Nobby Nics have directional tread as well. Guess what? 😳

Anyway, 520g. The back wheel can wait….

Prat fall trying to track-stand while waiting for the lights to change on a pelican crossing. Had unclipped one foot, but fell the opposite way. 😳

Took a bow to queueing traffic after I stood up.

I went to Beechy Head and didn’t jump off.

made pancakes thinking it was pancake day. 🙄

Dropped my phone. On to a kettlebell.

Insurance replacement arrives tomorrow.

Finishing an e-bike conversion for a long-time work colleague who has just retired. It has a full chain guard that needs new brackets as the motor / gearbox gets in the way of the originals. I made a very tidy 2-piece bracket from stainless steel and just silver soldered it together……back to front 🙁

So had to melt it apart (trashing half of it), make a new bit then solder it the right way round. Now given up for the evening – not risking drilling any holes in it.

Went to the cinema during half term…..

I did 49 in a 40 zone 😉

APF

Cracked the windscreen on my van whilst changing the wipers.

Lifted the wiper arm then caught it and it smashed into the screen.

Annoying.

Rode all day without a helmet

Took an extended ride back home from work, wearing my PX Hydrosphere jacket and Dafeet gloves, only the temperature felt more like April than February… First time I’ve felt that boil in the bag feeling this year, despite less layers than normal! 😳

Lent my wife my phone and she then what’s apped my team at work asking about bumming puffins for a joke (she had seen the phrase in the Trump thread)

After being completely broke for all of Feb I was keen to work out my budget for March so I can look forward to a return to my usual not-quite-broke normality – seems it’s going to be worse than Feb, it’s taken the wind out of my sails.

I miss blissful ignorance.

I went to Beechy Head and didn’t jump off.

Is that a sarcastic post?

Drove to hotel A, only to realise I was booked in to hotel B across town.

Fortunately I realised before trying to check in.

Neither hotel is anywhere near Beechy Head

Came to Disneyland with 3 children. Got them up early for the character breakfast thing. Turns out they’re all terrified of those giant furry character things! 🙄
Then 3 tired and grumpy children for the rest of the day.
Apparently the fun never ends here (or something along those lines). It did today!

Dropped a kettlebell. Onto my phone.

Didn’t break though.

Not surprising really – kettlebells are pretty tough.

Failed my HGV driving test in the last 20 seconds !! .. whole test with 1 minor and then i clip a cone on my reverse , 20 seconds from the end ! .. Cock ! … and another £280 for a retest 🙁

made pancakes thinking it was pancake day.

Two pancake days this year sounds pretty smart to me.

Today I was prepping the car for it’s MOT and left it running a little too long so it’s going to be a nervous drive to the petrol station tomorrow in the hope It’ll make it.

double post !

I got out of bed.

It has been a day when many people have made it on to ‘The List’.

Some people are on ‘The List’ twice.

Read posts in the chat forum.

Somehow got roped into a presentation to the Board, three days after we are inspected, unfortunately the presentation has nowt to do with the inspection and is going to take weeks of research, and preparation, and I have three weeks to do it in.

Bollocks, should have remained focused during that meeting

Forgot to go to work.

Dipped a jammie Dodger in my coffee

Assuring my lad that the cardboard Mayan temple would be a doddle…

I hope that was a mistake and you thought it was tea, otherwise…

you make me sick! 👿

Cracked the windscreen on my van whilst changing the wipers.

Lifted the wiper arm then caught it and it smashed into the screen.

I did this. If it helps, you won’t do it again…

Look on the bright side, at least that’s better than a prolapse.

I got the Cale Sleeper up from London thinking I’d get a half decent night’s sleep. Now on coffee No.3.

Open the STW forum.

No work will be done today!

Your Mrs sounds ace. Send her round when you’ve had enough of her 😀

gone to work

Commuted by trike for an easy ride. Thought I’d be blown backwards! Had a nice Range Rover driver interaction that made me laugh though. Might post the video later.

Spanked some grumpy feminazi’s ass at traffic lights, she got shirty so I tried to offer her the chance of a date as recompense.

Then the cheaky bint snapped my wing mirror off! Must be a lezzer…

She smelt a bit gamey anyway, probably dodged a bullet. 😉

Started looking at adverts for motorcycles…….

Got up late, which meant I was trying to work* and feed daughter at the same time, while better half was in shower.

*Including call with contractor with CBeebies CD playing in background.

Turned up 4 minutes late to an assessment day for a potential new job. Turns out the boss has a serious issue with people not showing punctuality.

Made an offer on a bike in classifieds even though wife says n+1=D.

n+1=D.

Diamond back ….. she’s right you know don’t go down that route!
