It does seem to make the deal a bit of a farce !

That's one of the 'F' words that we've used!

What you need is a modern system, that you could have undiverted the phone remotely

We have a nice modern system but it can't be accessed from non work issued devices for security reasons. I refuse to take the laptop home on a rest day and I don't have a work issued mobile (they only issue older model iPhones) hence no remote access.

Next time I'll try the high tech method of a post-it note reminder on the monitor.

Today is going to be spent listening to and watching assorted bits of football, and working on the drawings for the Higman model. Been thinking about how it needs to fit together, and have come to the conclusion that I need to have ALL the parts worked out before I start the build. This is because it looks like I'll have to build from the bottom up rather than the top down to stop the bumpers, side irons and their respective mounts from being damaged.

So for my pains, I'll now need to work out what is going on "below the waterline" from some very ropey photos.

I take it you've shoved "Superstox chassis" into a well known image search. There's a few good bare bones pictures.

Inspired and intrigued by @Reynard 's tartiflette, we found a recipe (Hairy Bikers in this case) and made our own tartiflette for dinner tonight. And it was wonderful. The only potential stumbling block would be if the kids didn't like it - very, very highly likely with my son who would live on chips and chicken nuggets if we let him, but my daughter will try anything. BOTH KIDS LIKED IT! In fact, my daughter loved it and made us swear to make it again!

Tartiflette makes a frequent appearance here in the winter. Need plenty of wine to accompany it to avoid a cheese stone in the old food bag.
I normally use Reblochon but after a holiday in the Alsace I am sold on a version with a Munster cheese. The Guardian has a good breakdown of the various luminary chefs versions, "Guardian perfect tartiflette".
Its defo not a dish to have you ready to commence trial by combat any time soon after eating.

I have. But the problem which arises is that the search throws up the more modern cars, where the technical regs are rather different to the mid-80s one I'm trying to build.

And then chuck in the fact that each Higman is pretty well much unique, so you can't directly assume that the layout of one is the same as the layout of another.

Although I've now got the underside of the chassis and the rear suspension sketched out, so I'm getting there.

Hrmph, I'm teetotal.

But I will agree that it definitely "sticks to the ribs"

P.S. There is no such thing as not enough cheese...

Sadly I can't drink green tea, I'd like to move away from ordinary black tea, but Green tea just makes me P a lot.

got a little snow recently but it's too cold for company. gonna get a bit more Monday thru Tuesday. I guess I'm leaving the canopy frame up. might not be the best decision I ever made

 

[Reynard]

Proper matcha or sencha green tea. Otherwise, English Breakfast, well-steeped, with a sploosh of milk.

 

[Reynard]

Speaking of, I have a nice of the latter.

It looks nice, though. I'm on the south side of the big low pressure system coming outof the Midwest and heading your way. Illinois, in my bit of it, mainly have rain and a great deal of windiness at this point. Barometer 29.69 and still downward trending.

Now is it a wee bit early or a wee bit late to be having breakfast?
