Long live the Blessed P38 I says. ;)

Was up bright and early today and cut some grass out the back. Got arf a trailer of cuttings before it got to ott, finish tomorrow ;). Got a garage job lined up once the grass has gone crispy:) (its cool in there) if I can get away from the...

Mornin Sorry to hear that , hope it's not too sad as it was expected

Morning All. A sad day here. :( The old gal passed away quietly at 05:21 this morning. Her son was there with her. A long life, well lived and now at peace. Have a good day. :)

Fell er sheep int chair watching the bbc program on that daft sub that broke'd when going too deep int water. Will cut me grass annuva day.

Waiting for me squirrels to finish their tea so eye can mow me grass. If eye go out now it will scare them oft.

... the old gal is comatose and unresponsive to stimuli. Apparently the infection in her legs has spread to other parts of her body especially her lungs. The immediate family is there (wife is just returning having come home for dinner and a...

And no offence taken, of course. Before the "tune" the soot problem with a BDL needle was pretty much non-existent, but it did not run very well in the part-throttle range it would pop and bang if you tried to accelerate too rapidly. After the...

WHY!!!!???? Simply weaken the mixture at the jet, by winding the jet up a lickle bit?? Going back to a needle that didn't work in the first place won't help, and filing anything off anywhere will simply richen the mixture at that point...

... that the hospital called my wife to talk about the MIL. The GA on monday has brought on delirium in the old gal (it often happens when they have dementia in the first place). Her kidneys are shot from weeks and weeks of vancomycin, her o2...

Mornin Warm but dull for now Had to put canes up as sunflowers are now at about 3 feet and I expect em to get much higher. Putting some steak in slow cooker for tonight Stay cool all :)

Morning All. :D A pretty rubbish night. Hosp called at 1:39 to say the old gal was fading again. :( A lovely day here. :) Have a good day. :D

Wot does we fink about mulch for covering soil in me plants pots? Is small stones a betterer option to stop weeds growing in em.

Launch ov stage 2 ov freelander development included seats and suspension.

OK, the old gal has rallied a bit, still very much "on the edge" but we will see what happens overnight. Wife is expecting a similar scenario tomorrow. :(

Wife is there with the MIL, as are 2 grandchildren. Her Son (who was told first) had not yet put in an appearance. :( He is closer to the hospital than we are , so I am baffled.

In the past where the vehicle has bogged down with a BDL needle has been in low RPM going up to mid-range RPM so maybe a bit off the part-throttle area.

You can always file a bit off the BDL if you loose power top end

I think it is the latter of the two. I think I will pull the "custom needle" and put a standard BDL in there.

It's not the plugs, it's either burning oil or tooooo rich

... that the wife just got a call from the hospital. Her Mum (who they gave a GA to yesterday to work on her leg) is now today going downhill fast and she had better get there ASAP. Not looking good at all.

But the switch to BP5ES plugs has not resolved the sooting up problem. Which means it is probably running too rich for them too.

Yes, I used a map gas torch. :)

Sooty and oily .... Hold them in a pair of pliers over an open flame, gas cooker hob if the missus isn't looking, see if it cleans them up a bit ...

Mornin Lovely sunny morning Making something to change oil in power steering today, two bottles, some tube etc Off to water plants before it gets too warm Stay cool all :)

Morning All. :D Another hot one. Don't mind if I do. :) Shopping later. :( Have a great day. :D

Planted me sunfloers outside last nite. They is currently between 4 and 10 inch tall. About 30. Grow'd for the bee's and me squirrels to enjoy. Little dorrit f1 type.
