What I should be doing is putting some brakes onto the Battlebus.

What I am doing is stripping down a printer I lent to Terry the Chip Man to work out why its not printing - looks to be either the temp sensor or the element. Certainly my IR thermometer says its an awful lot hotter than it claims, but I also think it may have overheated the element.

Was absolutely filthy as not washed it in over a month. Took it to one of these attended carwash places and really impressed how clean it is.

Picked up some friends last night to go out, and they commented something along the lines of the car needed washing.

Bloody black cars ;D

Fixed it, the temp sensor for the hot end had become dislodged, so was under reading temp :y

Now its raining, so that ain't gonna happen.

Finished all my winter fettling on the Westfield yesterday. Looked outside and the roads were dry, so thought a cheeky "test" might be in order. Put my coat on, got it started, opened the garage door... ssipping down.. again! >:(

I think you might need to invest in some wet weather gear, this year, Kevin, if you actually intend to drive it.. or maybe an Ark.

Well, I was trying to use mathematical notation rather than any language but, as we're not constrained to ASCII any more..



There you go. :y

Drove to a friend's funeral.
That's the second funeral I've been to in  less than three weeks.


You lot might want to keep your distance :o
