..or half day sat by fire thawing out!
Sod's law states that you can never stay in bed on a weekend...
...that's why I'm on this thread waiting for back up DVDs to burn...
Could be worse,I could then have to go to work...

I'm working today. Although I'm currently waiting for a hair cut. Then I've got to wash the bike. Even though it will be filthy again after half an hour of riding!
Next time I might buy one that's the same colour as the grime on the road.
But the sun is out and the temperature is above freezing so it's not all bad.

Just back from a trip to the tip, sorry, recycling centre. Cleared a bit more junk. Oodles more to go though.
The place was crawling in 'togs in hi-viz jackets. We don't have a camera club here, but maybe they were from one of the courses given at the community centre. I didn't ask. No Pentaxians that I noticed .

I was up at 5.30 this AM, despite being worn out last night I just couldn't sleep!
I need to replace a set of head bearings on the Beema, do I start now or leave it for the morrow...
....I'll have a coffee and think about it.

Maybe they were all 'togs who had been told to dump their canikons?

I'm back! I can stand up and turn on a surf board and fall off lots too!!
Winter wetsuits (5:3) work really well... Boots and gloves were also supplied and I wasn't cold at all!!
Took a couple shots at Cayton Bay after then drove to North Bay and took a walk... Will upload a few in a bit (LR3 currently running a bit slow...)

certainly will, and seeing as the carbs are seized solid...
Nice sunny morning, head set looking at me on the desk, think it's breakfast then fitting time...
....I may be some time, to quote a certain captain...

Well, that didn't take too long..
...but the old head set was OK...
........just solid with set grease!
A quick wash in petrol and WD40, some fresh lithium grease and she's back in one piece.
Now I have to get her fueled up and then it'll be Beer o'clock...
