I've lost a dog lead, l can quite understand loosing a dog , they slink off to go hunting occasionally but not a lead, they just hang around waiting to be attached to a canine:wacko:
Unless said canine wants a lie in and is desperate to avoid a long walk through wet fields and has hidden it from you!

I've ordered a knife block off the zon of ams...
As they are sharp things, I had to confirm my age with an on screen calendar. I couldn't write 27/10/1952 in the input field so tapped on 27.
This made my DOB 27/10/2021. I couldn't find how to change the 2021 to 1952 so I was thinking I'd have to tap the < arrow 816 times!

Luckily, after tapping all over the phone screen, a drop down list appeared!! Phew!
 
Here are the two steam specials from yesterday.

This is the model that I have been working on . I have been working from what pictures that I could find and from a few dimensions. I found a plan view but found it difficult translating what some of the lines were. As you can see I have done a bit of rubbing out. There are always some details that you require that never seem to be shown in pictures, how the underneath section of the nose for just one example .
I have been sanding the model back but it is a bit of a complex shape along the side, it goes up and down like a ride at Alton Towers. :wacko:

It looked wet, windy and cold this morning morning but turned out to be very mild once I got out and about so I had overdressed somewhat for my ride and overheated like a Triumph Dolomite on a hot summer's day. :sweat:

My baseball cap blew off and I had to retrieve it from the hedge.

Also hedge cutting season continues so roads are usually covered in thorns.

When it is over I want to start riding my Rudge again.

My pin's jammed. This is the plumber's assessment of my faulty radiator. So that's a part on order. He could try to unjam it but this could result in a fountain of water.

I, overoptimistically, thought that if I got in early before autumn kicked in and the plumbers get busy, it would be sorted sooner. That was 5 weeks ago. Hmm....

Oh well, I now have a window for a nap before a beer delivery early this afternoon.

First, though, I've been messaged an invitation to book my covid booster jab so I better do that now.

Wet but not too windy and mild.
We used to get frost starting about this time of year but not any longer.
Left my phone on overnight which I do not normally do and Calmac wakened me at 0545 to tell me they were doing a shuttle service to cope with the volume of traffic and 10 minutes later warned me that a second vessel which is on to help cope with the traffic MV Loch Riddon would not be able to take rally vehicles with a long overhang. Not anything I need to know but the auto text service is useful if travelling.
 
They were actually, very well appointed interior and a decent effort at styling.

It's just the only one I had direct experience of belonging to a cousin of my Dad's seem to constantly boil and blow headgaskets no matter what was done to it.
A faulty radiator pressure cap can give the symptoms of a head gasket problem . A lack of pressure will mean that the water boils at 100C.
The only problem I found with my Sprint were the brakes. They didn't stop very well, I used to drop down a couple of gears and used engine braking .
