Doubtless doing a few other bits too.

Hmmmmm,

Hopefully packing our eldest off to his Gran's, test driving a Zafira, (Got it today for the weekend. Quite nice and fairly nippy for a 120 BHP diesel auto!!  :o ), going to look at an ex-works Monza rally car with a view to buying it, decorating the extension...................

Might try and slip some Stella in there too!!  8-)

A warm weekend I would love to do the O/S exhaust manifols gasket, cambelt + tensioners, water pump, Aux belt and rocker cover gaskets but SWMBO will have me doing one of the many jobs that are left after having a dodgy builder do use an extension :(

That's something I'm very pleased with actually. I don't know the guys that've done our extension from Adam, but they've been conscientious and very scrupulous with their work. It's such a relief as it's a minefield out there!!

The builder we had promised us 3 months to complete. It took him 12 month to make the extension water tight (Roof and windows in) and then I paid him what I owed him and told him to collect his tools and ive been finishing off at weekends :(

I'm gonna do what every real fair-weather biker will be doing this weekend.... get my R1 out and find some nice roads! Makes a change from just getting sloshed ;)

Oh I might also get my Omega sorted assuming I can get the black sealant for Saturday! If not it'll have to wait for another week, and I bet the weather will be crap then too :O

Might even have a BBQ too.... tho that inevitably involves copious amounts of alcohol so hmmm

No major plans for this weekend so looks like I'll be getting my summer shorts out and spending a bit of time in the pub garden with a few cold one's. [smiley=beer.gif]

When it's really hot you can't beat a bottle of Bulmers (or Magners if you prefer) cider poured over loads of ice in a pint glass. :y :y

With a straw of course. Personally I prefer apple juice... well Magners is much the same thing really, with some extra sugar for those who find apple juice isn't sweet enough :D

My plans for this weekend are.. friday, getting a new tyre for my vehicle and to get the squeaky brakes looked at (only changed a few weeks ago!), pre-mot inspection too while i'm there, saturday, clean and polish my car and do nothing else for the rest of the entire day other than drink and chill in the sun, sunday i'm going to a Lexus meet in rivington with my brother, not had an opportunity to go on any meet of any kind and since this is local i may as well! plus he wants me to be the photographer! Monday my car is to be serviced, and one afternoon before may 5th it shall go in for its mot and i'll be one annoyed chap if it fails on anything!!
