So far getting rid of a migraine is top priority, this week off is going well lol. Next on the agenda is to remove the cylinder head from a Peugeot 206 1.4... shouldn't take too long, 10 years ago I would have whipped it off blindfolded but being off the tools for a decade may slow me down.

out for a bike ride but left it late, normally i try to get home before all the kids being collected in huge suv wagons- but i got caught, find it infuriating the way they just pull out , get the impression that the drivers aren't concentrating much. grrr

Today me and my misses went to London for a afternoon tea. But there's a twist it was a burger afternoon tea! 3 different mini burgers with pesseco and pudding. I got it as a birthday gift from a friend, what a birthday gift!!

Well I beheaded dad's car in about an hour and a half with a couple of coffee/rain breaks so that went well, delivered it to my local machine shop for a pressure test and skim, they do excellent work for a reasonable price.

Then my neighbor popped over and asked if I could help him fit some crash bungs to his new MT-09, that took next to no time and we agreed on a rideout later in the week.

Tomorrow, prep the car to put it back together, collect the head and gasket/bolt kit, PT session at the gym... Then bolt the little Pug back together and see if it run's like a dream or half a turn, pop, fart, and let the smoke out.

I put that car back together, being meticulous it took a lot longer than taking it apart but she purrs like a peugeot... Just a slight electrical gremlin to iron out and that will be done, needs a new ignition suppressor.

Aside from that I have cleaned my bike and recovered from yesterdays PT session, well almost.

Had my op on my nose, sorted my deviated septum and trimmed up my turbinoids, or port and polish as I like to put it.

Gotta over night and they are only giving my panadol, I was hoping for something decent!

Got stints in my nose for a week as he had to cut a fair bit out apparently.

Least it gets me out of work this swing!

Chilling out watching Mighty car mods Stagea build... Recovering from a nice 8am PT session.

Also just ordered a new exhaust box for dads car, and at some point I will grease the clutch pedal in my Honda and strip/clean the brakes on the bike before a ride later.

Tiling the man cave. Time to get it back into something useful and not just a dumping ground.

Working on a case with a very ugly Suzuki Bandit.

This thing deserved to go down the road.
