A bit of a cleanup (down under)

Fingers crossed she's ready for Bermi end of month. Should be a nice distance to run-in a new motor 

He'll be here Troy. He's run out of excuses.

Ya got me there old dude !

[Troyskie]

Any luck with the parts Jools?

[FJools]

Yes & No.................

The Chain arrived in damaged packaging and the link was missing !! FFS

I contacted the supplier who were most apologetic but is wasn't necessarily their fault.
They are shipping me a link at no cost but that's likely to be another week minimum.

I'm beginning to think someone is trying to tell me something, and to honest it will be a rush to get this done now, which I didn't want.

Its a long way to run in an untested engine 

[Troyskie]

WOW! 

If you need a spare pair of only slightly incompetent hands I can come up 

I think you can do it if the link arrives in time.....

here is a typical example of how the gods are not aligning....................

Last night I got home from work planning to clean and jet the carb bank and do as much as I could to the motor

Only to find the swimming pool pump screaming its head off, so I spent 2 hours stripping and sorting that out.

Then I settled in to watch the MotoGP testing and that was it.................

Maybe tonight, although I may have to go down the vets to recover the cat, that I had to rush in Sunday night with a massive chunk out of its leg.
Should have been reasonably straight forward surgery (if expensive) except they accidentally overdosed him on anti inflammatories (6x) and had to keep him in on a drip under observation for 72 hours - add their expense thank god.

Now I just heard the bikes are back from New Zealand so that's half Saturday written off while I go and collect it.

Jolly life !

[Troyskie]

Mate! 
I feel your pain, but am glad it's not me.

At least you were able to sort the pump out yourself. I'd be looking down the barrel at some pool dude charging me more than the Vet to fix the pump.

I put a new front tyre on the 11 last night (she now has matched Sport Demons front and back), plus pulled the fairing off and fixed up the fuel guage, ready for you if you need it if the car is fixed (just sayin'... ).

[FJools]

Cheers mate, currently I wouldn't run the car that distance with the ECU light on.
Working full time now is killing me 

[Troyskie]

Perhaps you should arrange a meeting to discuss the upcoming meeting

Jools, you are having a rough trot, even your metaphors are giving you trouble.

[Troyskie]

How about the good old mixed metaphors

Weren't the planets named after gods (except Earth)? So it was right in the first place, kinda.

That's drawing a very long straw.
