Guest Richzx6r Posted June 6, 2020 Posted June 6, 2020 Regoing over all my shed plans and hoping I've got it right/ordered enough wood Give me a shout I'm going barking mad being stuck in doors Quote
JRH Posted June 6, 2020 Posted June 6, 2020 Replacing front fork seals.In a somewhat primitive 'man-cave'.More like 'man-canvas' really. But it works... Got a roof over my head and, more important, over my bikes' delicate parts....Did the left one (culprit; was leaking...) yesterday... will do the right one today.Putting on some rubber protection at the same time... Takes my mind off the terrible weather. Voorvork-1a.jpg Voorvork-1b.jpgVoorvork-2.jpgVoorvork-3.jpgVoorvork-4.jpg Even got a colour co-ordinated brolly for the bike. Quote

Mr Fro Posted June 6, 2020 Posted June 6, 2020 Prepared and started painting up the bits up for the lathe stand I'm building.Even though I had both garage doors wide open I had a good dose of fumes with the paint and thinners.I'm pretty sure it's going to be a bit of a ragged paint job but so long as it keeps things from rusting then it'll do!

When i first started working one of my jobs was to repaint the machinery when things were a little quiet, mainly used hammerite i was addicted to the smell there was something comforting about it Quote
Mr Fro Posted June 6, 2020 Posted June 6, 2020 When i first started working one of my jobs was to repaint the machinery when things were a little quiet, mainly used hammerite i was addicted to the smell there was something comforting about it I'm using Tractol for the lathe and Tekaloid for the panelling so it's a little different to Hammerite and hopefully a faaaaaar better finish given the price of the stuff!

Mawsley Posted June 6, 2020 Posted June 6, 2020 I was planning on doing nothing, but someone at the shop forced me to buy adult-style apple juice and loaded me with chips.There goes that diet for a day. Quote
old-timer Posted June 6, 2020 Posted June 6, 2020 When i first started working one of my jobs was to repaint the machinery when things were a little quiet, mainly used hammerite i was addicted to the smell there was something comforting about it As it happens, after I removed the front mudguard and the fork bridge, I noticed that the bridge could do with a little TLC.So I cleaned it, painted it with Hammerite and hung it to dry in my 'workshop'...Looking all nice and black again...

RantMachine Posted June 6, 2020 Posted June 6, 2020 I was gonna have a day of (finally) relaxing a bit but I've ended up getting pulled into work again. Trying my best to escape before I hit the 70 hour mark (or kill anyone). Quote
Gerontious Posted June 6, 2020 Posted June 6, 2020 I'm working this weekend. Waking nights, which is fine by me... Last night tonight then tomorrow get my body clock turned back to normal(ish) and perhaps have a ride out Sunday evening now the daylight is lasting well past nine. Quote
Mawsley Posted June 7, 2020 Posted June 7, 2020 Typical. I have to return to working today (which I am not doing, I'm procrastinating because I'm hanging) and the rain has gone away. Still, I'm too blurry to ride anyway. Quote
Charlie Cole Posted June 11, 2020 Posted June 11, 2020 This weekend I will be celebrating my friend's birthday out of town. Quote
Guest Posted June 12, 2020 Posted June 12, 2020 Another weekend nearly here!Tomorrow I've got to take the wife down to Albox in the car to go to the Brit supermarkets!But Sunday.......it's the abandoned mining village!This is how it used to be.......Iron was mined there from the late 18th century until 1968. What's left of it now? I'll find out on Sunday! Read it and weep you Car Park Casuals! Quote
S-Westerly Posted June 12, 2020 Posted June 12, 2020 Was planning a ride down to Minehead but unless the weather bucks up I probably will just poke around nearer home in between the rain showers. Quote
Mississippi Bullfrog Posted June 12, 2020 Posted June 12, 2020 Looking at the weather forecast I decided to head today for a bumble along one of my favourite routes. From Oulton Park down the A49 to Whitchurch, then towards Bangor-on-Dee where I took the turn for Holt. Back through Rossett towards Chester via Eccleston where I called on a friend for a socially distanced coffee. Into Chester and back out towards Northwich. Just got home and the rain started. Quote
Throttled Posted June 12, 2020 Posted June 12, 2020 This weekend I will be, as usual, working. I got out today for a ride, so that is OK. Quote
James in Brum Posted June 12, 2020 Posted June 12, 2020 Hopefully putting brakes back together, after finishing disassembling them and cleaning. The Carbs and hopefully take her out for a ride. I also need to do some allotment things and probably some work. Quote
