That blue pick up is stunning !! Looks like a good few hours out, weather was reasonable too, Nigel Certainly is nice. That Mach 1 is making me dribble... My favourite car of the day. I know that pub, just up the road from the father in laws we have stayed there a few times when visiting New, clean, tidy, decent staff. For those who like animals, and in this case, dogs. Went for a walk, met a German Shepherd named Gus. Adult dog. She went straight in and was running circles around him. Back home, typically, she figured out she could get into the bird bath for a drink.   Water dog?  Certainly worth the money the Parvovirus cost us. Every day is a joy. |

And Bonnie the very expensive Rescue dog continues to bring joy.
Hot Easter Weekend?
No problem

Went to fill my car today and saw this van. You certainly cannot ignore it. As an ex serviceman myself, and possibly being true to my own beliefs, this really does appeal.   Owner was proud of his immaculate car. |

Visitor George He looks like he can get through a tin of Whiskers or two 😀 He would. I did give in this week, after 6 months of ham and chicken treats to buy some dry food. Gave him some yesterday and this morning. Working from home today, I saw him drink from the toilet earlier. Usually he drinks from the bird bath. I cannot make it too comfortable here though. After all, he is the cat I don’t have. |

I am sure many of you know Sally’s UncleBob the hoarder. Today he came and asked me to sell some milling tools on his behalf. I know 100% nothing about them, except that most are covered in new tool rubber stuff. He is after some sort of cash offer. So if that is your sort of thing, as I have no clue on value…….. Please send a PM   |

You must be pretty desperate trying to flog his stuff in at least three different threads.  In all earnest though, your threads are interesting to read, but the constant cross-posting and full quotes of full quotes of full quotes including pictures is a bit much in my opinion (but that's just my opinion, so feel free to ignore). |

This week I capitulated and bought George some dry food. He usually gets ham or chicken when he visits in the morning, and Dreamies when he demands it. There is water in the water feature and the bird bath has fresh water regularly, and he drinks from there. So today was a work from home day, and he got a handful of the dry food early. Later I saw him from my office, drinking from the lodgers bathroom toilet. Guess it passed his muster.  I certainly would not. More randomness, this time the scrapyard had these broken toys (perfect garage ornaments) for £5.00 each. I have not bought them.  Sally and I go walk Bonnie the dog randomly on the farm through fields etc. I was previously asked about where I live, Between the Thames and Medway rivers and English Channel.     |

First bootfair of the season today. Very full of sellers. 90% probably just clearing rubbish from homes. Pink sh!t. Interesting observation was that there were very few non English speakers. I guess Covid, inflation, lack of employment etc all impacted that sector of the market. What I did find was the following. 6 Plant pot dollies £5.00 Unused/new Denim shorts £1.00 Motel sign for my shed 50p Two Bee signs 25p each Angel wings for Sally’s shed £1.00 Pink giraffe toy for Bonnie 20p For mate Craig. New yellow wheel £2.00 2 mobility scooter wheels £5.00 Chicken £1.00  Another bootfair tomorrow. Will think about it today. May give a miss. |

More side build silliness coming up. I bought a pull along wagon chassis from New Addington/Croydon area off FB Marketplace 30-40 miles from home. All four wheels and inner tubes are blown out as the owners husband used it to move large paving slabs. I cannot fault his thinking as I moved 4 16inch alloys and their tyres on mine on Sunday, all loaded at the same time. Fortunately I have a business meeting in Richmond later today so will pick it up on the way.    Plan is to build it like this……. And to add paint and some “hot rod graphics” and to then use it like that. This is the one I have, it is on regular wheels, bit mocked up for the photos to give me a better idea of whether is should be built. I think it looks OK.   Bonnie the pup came over with Sally as well. Loves a soft toy.  Have a good day out there. |

Woody wagon won’t get to that level of coolness. Collected my new chassis for the build.   Need to order some wheel hubs as the wheels don’t have any. |

The stars and stripes one has at least one front tyre on backwards
I know we're supposed to say nothing if we don't have anything nice to say, but I wouldn't be able to sleep at night if someone was injured at a wet bootfair due to a combination of speed, aquaplaning, incorrectly fitted tyres and flip-flops...
...you know who you are!!!

You are welcome to saying stuff. I think sometimes we are all too sensitive, when stuff is meant in jest but it is lost in translation into print on here. Just to highlight, that wagon only had 3 wheels on as a mock up, and I had the directional nature pointed out by John the lodger who is like a Magpie, missing very little. Original wheels are back on. I need to make a pair of rear wheel, 3 point hub mounting plates and axle sleeves for those wheels as they are missing. |

ROAD TRIP ANYONE? ROAD TRIP ANYONE??I have seen this for sale in Colorado And been thinking, buying it and getting it to Missouri to Dennis’s place. Insuring and ownership on his name, and I then pay him for the insurance and become the named driver. Should extend my road trip potential. A Big Block chevy C30 dually under there, 41k miles done. And $1000.00 Colorado Dollars plus shipping to Missouri. Opinions? Agent Orange anyone.   Specifications.   Can you smell the dust and brown interior.        Is there any mileage in this hare brained idea? |
