The Retirement Thread

[Paulus]

The assessor has looked at my sons car. He can't say for sure, but it will probably be a write off.

You may be surprised. My son, some years back wrote off three of his cars over a three year period. Each time the insurance paid out the retail value of the cars. He got enough to buy another each time. You just have to wait to see what offer they come back with, and don't necessarily accept the first offer.

Sprayed the weeds up our private road. Have to do this about three times a year, otherwise it ends up an unsightly jungle.
Still waiting on my parcel. Checked the tracking and it appeared to be at stop No.16 about 15 minutes ago and about a quarter of a mile away. I'm supposedly stop No.18. Checked it again a moment ago and he's now on stop No.8 about 2 miles away! WTF?

And now he's just turned up right in the middle of Pop Master!

I am back from Mach. Now it's a waiting game to see how much this is going to cost me.

Wanted to go out for a ride this morning, but still waiting for a call-back from the insurance people. Need to get the house insurance sorted before we go away at the end of next week.

The garage rang. The brakes are all good. They stripped them and cleaned them and they are fine.

The rear shocks have gone though. £124.00 all in. My car should be ready tomorrow.

A tray of sausages in the oven, sausage and egg batch coming up. I've spent the morning swapping the wheels round on my car, backs to fronts, got a bit entertaining, Suzuki doesn't do wheel nuts they use studs, small lip on the hub, hook wheel over lip and insert studs.

Really impressed its very basic and a bit heavy but the shifting with the 105 is really sweet. Handles really well on decents. The brakes leave a little bit to be desired. But on the whole a nice bike. Some light weight wheels is all it needs.+better brakes.

It is. Still if I have to have it done then that's it.
