... all the firewood is safely stowed away. :) As a special "bonus" I deconstructed the large palletised crate it all came in and sawed that up for kindling. 3 full sacks of kindling that I don't have to buy. 👍 Went out for a quick blast in the mini as a reward to myself. That oil leak has...

You need to fly a helicopter in the Falklands. After that you don't sweat EVER, allegedly.

Morning All :D Another decent day so far. :) Shopping later, but will try and dodge that.:) 1/3 more of the wood to shift will do me as a task. Have a lovely day. :D

Ha Ha! :)

Sadly not the access to the back garden is the 3'6" path down the side of the house. I have stopped for the day and yes it is "hurty", anaesthetic Vodka is being applied.

My COB, as in before I start having a drink. ;) It didn't arrive till just after 2 and we (me-n-'er) have managed to load/barrow and stack just over 2/3 of it. She's gone off to the hospital to see her Mum, I have the G-kids to look after. Son's GF is on her way to get the kidss and he is in...

... darn it the wood delivery is late. I've got to get it off the drive and down to the woodstore before COB today and it hasn't even arrived yet. :(

Wot? Basildon?

After all this time the plastic is breaking down and you can smell/taste petrochemicals perhaps? China or glass always here. :)

Several times. But it only appears after a run. I want to believe it's the rocker gasket, but I can't find any oil ABOVE the plug well so far.

I wondered, but I am always very careful, and I had the "leak" without pulling the stick.

It is a HIF44 SU carb. I am willing to believe it's the HG, but I cannot track the oil down from there so far. If it was a cracked head etc I would expect other symptoms too. No blue smoke or steam either, but the radiator was a bit low when I checked it yesterday so I suppose it is possible...

Morning All. :D Supposed to be a scorcher today, but no signs of that yet. :) Our "free" day except for feeding sons cats, and getting HIS kids from the school. Have a good day. :D

Sooty as Sweep the puppet. But not wet. They are all sooted up, its awful.

Yes but I tested for a leak and it was clean.

Well maybe all in the garden is not so "rosy". :( We have a mystery oil leak. Meet Cyl #3. Why is there a pool of oil in the plug well? Ahhh its dripping down from the gasket above you cry! Err.. Nope! I cleaned it all up with brake cleaner and put a line of absorbent paper taped across the...

Congrats!

Morning All. :D Not a bad day it seems. :) A shopping day. :( Have a good day. :D

Morning All. :D Take kids to school this morning and then "Freedom" for a few days. Son sent me a video of the riots outside his LA hotel. :( Couldn't walk up the stairs last night, knee pain. :( Seems better s'morning. :) Have a great day. :D

...that the weekend has passed reasonably quietly. Neither of the G-kids has killed the other, nor come to any harm while in our care. :) I have to take them to school tomorrow, and their Mother picks them up at close of play. We pick them up from school on Wednesday and their Dad will have...
