Morning
WFH
Chaos seems to have ensued while I was off yesterday, emails flying around about furloughing and stuff.
Woke up still feeling tired, and with a sore knee so mostly staying inside today.0 -
noticed the rear brake cable has somehow been caught on something and damaged, a few fibres cut, it's a powercordz, still brakes ok
dug out the spare which is now umpteen years old, the casing in parts has gone brittle, looks like due to being in contact with the wrong kind of plastic, grrrr, ordered a new set
my bike - faster than god's and twice as shiny0 -
Meh.
No energy. Must find some.
Then walk.
Then grass.

This is how my collection grew as I kept forgetting hit them with a hammer/set them on fire and chuck over the hedge0 -
We're getting rid of a bike today. Admittedly its my kid's bike from 10 years ago which has been sitting in the garage gathering dust. Still works OK though, just needed a bit of air in the tyres and some oil on the chain. Still, means I have room for another one now

Morning, usual update, moved onto tea from coffee though.
Third day on the row I've had my garden Zwift session interupted by a Teams call. People need to learn what WFH means.
May redesign my garden. Have to work out how to lay a patio and what base to use. New dawn, new skills0 -

Afternoon, its gone cloudy here an now getting muggy so rain?
Meh I managed a roll around on the bike today so that was a plus, rolled down to the shop in the next village to get some as my local hadn't had any delivered.
Came back with bread, a bottle of milk some yeast an strong white flour so I can make more bread!0 -
If anyone's bored I did a thing. Wax needs to go off properly then I can buff it out.
It's had two coats of boiled linseed oil an a single coat of briwax dark oak. Almost the same as the workbench top. Think I got lucky with the ply I used on the bench

I need a table saw really, they are pretty easy but a table saw would really simplify work. Plus I may get into trouble with IKEA as I'm sure it's one of their products. Still few tweaks it'll work. It's an idea!oxoman said:Step that doesn't look to bad tbh. You need to go into business and sell them.

Evening folks, another busy day of wfh. I’m sure I’m doing it wrong as I’m actually working. Managed a short wobble at lunchtime at least. Only half an hour but I’m sure it’s enough to upset the self righteous types.
So what kind of bike you getting Stevo? Friday tomorrow at least.0 -

Nope you are correct, by doing the same amount of work you win the commute - talked about this with a ginger haired ex colleague of yours todayveronese68 said:Evening folks, another busy day of wfh.

No idea. I still have one stashed in a mates garage so may still need to unload one first.veronese68 said:Evening folks, another busy day of wfh. I’m sure I’m doing it wrong as I’m actually working.

I got rid of the kids bike yesterday, sorry Mr. P. It was I think a 20" wheel job - sort of size that fits a 9 yo kid. Gave it to some people round the corner who we know.pinno said:Did you get rid of the bike Stevo?

I still have to get shot of one of the MTBs to make some room. Suspect the 2 wheeled Panzer will need to go as its only any use for uplifts and Im not doing them any more."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0 -
