	Popped around to Martin's place on the way home tonight. He had asked me to come and help him make a video clip of the latest X-Box adapted hand controls for a different Paraplegic friend. So good to see this sort of thing happening. Delivery and setup hopefully next week.

	Fantastically simple in execution although I'm sure the thought behind it was anything but. Someone should be very happy with that. It put a smile on my dial anyway.

The guy is very pleased as Martin sent him the Youtube link after I had edited and uploaded it to my channel. Suspect it will put a grin on his face too. Russell the Fire fighter drives his Nissan GTR like a demon on track days. After all, what can go wrong? He is/was 6'4" standing so the adaptation I did on his furniture has helped make his life a bit easier. I hope someone sorts me out if I am in the same position. Its all about Paying it Forward.

Like everything in life, there is almost always a way around stuff.

	I love that people do this for other people, I sometimes despair for the attitude of the human race towards a lot of things in this world but this gives me some hope that maybe just maybe making a difference to the lives of others in a positive way just might catch on..... Made my evening that has, wonderful

	Spent 25 minutes on the phone with a less than bright British Airways helpdesk assistant tonight Found out that to bring back a 2 meter ski bag, will cost me an extra £65 which is probably less than shipping to the UK. I also called Mar-K in Oklahoma City and spoke to the lovely Vicky about buying the side trims and the possibility of a small factory tour for Martin and me. Due to Health and Safety the tour in not possible, unless one of you guys out there knows someone who knows someone, who can get us a small tour. Collection for cash is possible at the factory though, so now just need to wait for a 10% discount day between now and October. Any discount on the $482.00 for the trims, will be welcome.

	Fresh MOT today. Ham Street Swapmeet and show near Ashford tomorrow, then Flames and Frames show near Maidstone later. Outside Chatham Dockyard Main Gate this morning. Yup...... Life is good.

	A very busy weekend. Bike MOT, BBQ for 12 in Whitstable and a bit of random garage time on Saturday. Today was boot fair, with great results, then off to Hamstreet with Nicola and Martin on the bikes to a bike show and auto jumble. Followed by a run up the M20 to Wateringbury near Maidstone for another car and bike show, which was more of an excuse for a huge party and tons of Harley's together together. Home by about 4pm and stopped bike and truck about. Boot fair threw up quite a few bits today. All garage and truck related. Except this doctors bag, at £2.00 it needs the handle leather renewed and good clean, leather polished and then it's my work bag. 13 imperial spanner and a 1/4" ratchet to replace my welded one, 50p each. So £7.00 the lot. Seven G-Lamps £5 and mini vice £2.00 Love the little vice. Martins Eddie Lawson Replica 1100cc Kawasaki behind Nicola who was being a clown all day, when we were filling up this morning. Nicola snapped this pic of me headed to the Swapmeet...... She said I looked like a man on a mission. My bargain of the day........ Been looking for something heavy duty like these for some time, found them on a traders stand at the bike swap meet. Managed to get a deal on 10 of them, 4 for my truck and 6 for Martins long bed to tie his V-Rod down once the truck is completed. Paid £3.20 each in stead of £4.00 each. Once countersunk and bolted down with countersunk head bolts in the rear bed, it will make the truck even more useful.

	Hi, it looks like you lifted Nicola off the bike and put her there while you filled up Those deep cranked ring spanners are handy to get into restricted places but need to be used with caution, because they put a sideways force and twist off rounding off the fixing, as well as giving you chassis rash on the hands. I also especially like the little vice. Looks like a very productive day. Colin

After dinner I ran a bowl of hot water, and took a scotch pad and some Cif scouring soap and cleaned up the outside, stopped part way through one side and took a pic, amazing how dirty the bag was. It clearly worked for a living before. After waiting for it to dry, I used leather food or saddle greas, also known as Dubbin where I come from and buffed it up a bit. Now just need to find some tan kid leather to cover the handle woth.

I got some scales off Freecycle today, the lady was apologising because of the state of the whole lot,my eights and scales. I just said thank you, popped the lot in the dishwasher after removing the balancing ballasts. Then after it was all cleaned, I sanded backe everything, and gave it three coats of Poundlands best Matt black. Perfect for this job. Nicola already claimed them for the kitchen, moving the cooking/postage scales to a less prominent position. No before pics, but this is after. Pleased with them, as my brother got my mums very old scales when my dad died.

	Well, another Saturday gone, but a good day it was. Martin and I jumped on our bikes, thankfully as the A2M2 was backed up from J5 to J3 and we ended up using the old A2 to get to Darren's place on the Isle of Sheppey. Martin wanted to go discuss V8 engines and gearboxes with Darren, and I always find his and all his gang who hang around at his workshop and factory hugely relaxing. Real people, no pretence or Horse Poop. Just Horse Power. Darren's friend Stuart was servicing and fine tuning his 1953 V8 Ford Popular. They had all been to Europe for a couple of weeks, including a hot rod show in France, where the laws are incredibly strict on rods. Later he left for normal family duties. He has owned this car for 18 years Also got to meet Darren's latest acquisition....... A '32 Ford Coupè with V8 motorvation. As purchased. Colour selection is from a hardware store colour chart. Test paint on the body. Sadly, this is what remains of an 70-80's Show van. I managed to rob the steering wheel and boss from it, plan is to restore the steering wheel, just because I can. Also found this old Hazet tool box for my Imperial sockets inside the van. Today I also ordered a set of V8 exhaust hangers in laser cut Stainless steel from Darren for the truck. Not sure exactly how I will use them with the side exit pipes, but they are irresistible. Lastly, I managed to shove this down the front of my bike riding trousers..... Quite a difficult feat in this heat....... Then managed to convince Darren to sell it to me if it fits, for the truck, needs a boss that fits the column I previously bought. Not cheap in my book, but absolutely gorgeous, a highlight in the cab when it is done. A bit extravagant in my normal book, but as Nicola said to me, we work hard, I do not smoke or drink, (there is the odd rum or brandy from time to time) so why not a treat from time to time. Nicola and I love these Pinup type girls, and the detail on this job is rather pleasing. The White of the wheel will go with the Mercedes Benz off-White I am doing the roof and side flash. I may just take the steering wheel to bed with me tonight. I am verrrry happy tonight, yes. Learned a few things from Darren, including the fact that I will need to make up a new rose jointed Panhard rod for the rear end as it was dropped 4" That's one of the nice things about this hobby, all the sharing that goes on. Boot fair in the morning, and hopefully some garage time in the afternoon.

It is a sad end to it, but I suspect it had evolved up to a point, and then a bit like super modified "anything" the owner ran out of ideas, a new fashion came along, and it ended up parked up. The owner unable to sell it tor what he had invested in it. Today it has been robbed of running gear, all for sale, and the rest will get weighed in at £40/ton as dirty scrap.

But if you inspect its interior and exterior, there is a load of lashing together that would have been covered by shag pile carpeting in the day. My steering wheel is right up there with your gear knob. Or as Richard Rawlings of GMG says..... "That there is a diamond in a goats ass" Been getting the itch to start on the truck again, now that the new job is settling down, and most of the other big jobs around the house are getting wrapped up. Of course I also want to get some progress in before mate Martin and I head for the USA in October. That way Imwill know what little parts I need to buy as I start throwing out clothes to make space for spares. THIS...........
