Two front side doors and from the back. Rammed with gear. Even in the front, excess bags and duty free. All that gear didn’t leave any room for the fish you caught. 🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't particularly like fish or shell fish, occasionally I will have cod if its very good quality and not strong tasting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if you don't ride daily, takes longer to loosen up. Sometimes I neglect to check my tire pressure. Amazing the difference properly inflated tires make.

Found this site that has something similar in shape to the debris that washed ashore in Australia. https://www.eaton.com/us/en-us/catalog/aerial-refueling/composite-space-pressure-vessels.html I guessed right. Mystery cylinder that washed up on Australian beach is Indian space debris, officials confirm A mysterious cylinder that washed ashore in Western Australia is debris from an Indian space launch, authorities in both countries have said, ending a flurry of speculation over the object’s origin. The cylinder was part of a Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle that the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) had previously launched, Sudheer Kumar, a director at ISRO, told CNN. The Australian Space Agency had previously tweeted on Monday that it had concluded its investigation into the object, and had reached the same conclusion. ...

A pleasant cruise around the coastline to Sandbsnks Poole is a lovely place,spent many times there in the past. Last trip was the last May bank holiday, took my sister Jan there. She has had many a trip there both with me and her ex husband. Sadly it will be her last trip away due to her illness. But I’m happy her last trip was there, a place she loved so much. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, since my last post, we had a break in the weather and the sun came out. With my pond filter in desperate need of cleaning and the grass being very long with weeds all along my front and back path I decided to take the hit and crack on. The wet grass made my mower cough a bit but it did a good job. I totally stripped and cleaned all of the 16 foams from the filter and completely flushed it out. It was full of crap, no wonder the water had clouded up badly. With that done and the rain holding off I got on my hands and knees ( using an old padded mat for a cushion ) and pulled out all of the weeds along both front and back paths and also my patio area behind the pond. Feeling chuffed with myself and sweating like a pig, it was decision time whether to go for a walk or shower and rest. With the sky filling up with black cloud and my back aching, the back won the day and got a rest. Now all cleaned up and watching tipping point. Been a while since I watched daytime TV. 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post maipenrai Posted August 2, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 2, 2023 Picked up my new fridge yesterday and got it into my home easily thanks to my trusty old ramp and dolly - this ramp belonged to a delivery truck we had at work years ago that got totalled, and the ramp sat in a corner of the yard for years gathering dust until I borrowed it one day and forgot to put it back again: 4 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to admit that we have probably had the nicest summer here that we've seen for years - lots of sun but also some rain to keep things green. We still have some woodsmoke in the air from fires in the area and have had considerable thunderstorm activity lately but overall it's been great; we're losing daylight at a considerable pace, though. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
