What Have You Fettled Today?

[cyberknight]

other stuff yesterday
mini ck 2 has a fish tank in her room on top of the chest of drawers and the weight has bent the top and splayed the drawer runners so i bought a proper stand and moved the tank over then rebuilt the drawers and runners so it was sound again .

Fitted new left hand mirror to my wife’s Golf.

My friend went to Honda to get a quote for a new mirror (milk van knocked it off) walked out with a new car there and then.

Bit of an expensive trip to a dealer then!

Yup. He told me last night. Went from a Sporty S Type Civic to a military green CRV hybrid.

I was like 'eh'. He likes it, better for the dogs.

Finished decorating daughter number two’s small bedroom, 3 coats of Dulux white emulsion to ceiling, 2 coats of Dulux Chic Shadow to walls. Skirtings and other wood finished with Osmo wood wax finish (oak)

Nice to know that old fashioned salesmanship is still alive and well!

The mirror must have been expensive !!!!!!

Tomorrow I'm planning on going grasstrack racing at Leeds. But first, an admission: due to Covid / post-Covid / workload / etc. I've not even looked at the grasstrack bikes since last year

So this evening I've pulled out both son no. 2's and mine, checked them over and they're both working fine. Both have been stored outdoors but under cover and away from anything damp. All done and sorted. I just need to work out which to use; his is geared low, mine high.

Edited: my rear tyre's gone flat, so it's not perfect. I'll change the tube, taking the opportunity to gear-down with a larger sprocket.

Also pulled out, as they were first, were my Dawes Kingpin plus Raleigh Pioneer. Both also checked over. Second admission: I realised I've not ridden the Raleigh Pioneer since March 2022, and before that it was May 2021 . 12 miles in 2 years is not good enough but if asked it's still the one bike I'd keep.

Washed and new sand for the block paving, and as I was there, replaced the gravel from under the front window. Looking reasonable now

Also not bike related.....

Splashed a canoe I knocked up over the BHols...

A marginal gains fettle from me tonight. I took my good pedals off the bike last month to pack in my suitcase for the hire bike and fitted older pedals in their place. I finally got round to refitting the good ones.

Was going to oil my chain but then I cannot decide on the perfect oil / lube / balm to use!!

 

[fritz katzenjammer]

Its a holiday in Canada today... celebrating some monarch who has been dead for over 120 years, so its clean ‘em and lube ‘em day.

I’m pleased to find Sugino still makes the chainrings for the old Centurion (Panasonic), so one is on order.

Went out yesterday to find some cleats in the shed to fit on my summer shoes.

So far, I've, fabsil'd the little tent, put the tent away, mowed the lawn, raked the lawn, weeded the flower boxes, repaired the lawn mower, tided up the gardening tools, trimmed the tree (does anyone know when best to prune a cherry blossom tree?) tied up the clematis, swept up the patio, picked out some broken pointing from the patio, swept the patio again. Been to work, mowed the other lawn, tided the front garden and drive, put two loads of washing out, found several gloves, but none to make a pair, cleaned the roof velux windows on the conservatory, failed cleaning the bird poo off the lads bedroom window..... found and fitted 1 cleat. So i'm again off to work in winter booties.
