[Gromit]

Hope you have a fantastic time Rockymountain, think of me writing all those assignments and smile. :-).

Dear All - I'm having a last cup of tea with you for a month or so.....I'm off on a LEJOGLE tomorrow having finally got all my packing and bike set-up sorted. Have a great month and I'll look forward to in early July. I'm just popping over to that other thread to post a lie

(ps hope NT gets his axle fixed - just don't borrow a spanner from Speicher)

Have fun, hope it doesn't rain (too much)

Would anyone except wolly like a nice refreshing rocket lolly?

Rocky Mountain

I had a very large piece of chocolate cake at about 5 pm, so that is very kind of you Potsy to remember that I should not have a lolly as well.

Have fun Rockymountain!

Talking of fun...

I just got to play with Oli's trainset. Not the baby wooden one, the REAL one, with the Flying Scotsman!

AND, when we went to pick him up from school, there was a cement mixer and a big cement pumping truck working on the foundations of some new buildings.

<Arch suddenly wonders if she's going to be test pilot... >

What with your family's reputation for crashing expensive things.

If Arch gets the tractor airborne I will be impressed!

I found this photo in my AEC Matador book and thought 'That will never get off the ground!'

The tractor is back together.

This morning I bought some gasket paper and sealer and put the transaxle back together. While the sealer was curing I got on with the other jobs of the day.

My neighbour and I finished building the stone wall outside my house. This was only putting back five stones but they were huge and heavy and just about liftable between us.
I also took apart my trailer wheel bearings, again, and cleaned and polished all the bits and refitted them with fresh grease. They will have to survive for a bit longer until I can get (affordable) replacements.

Then this evening I brought the transaxle back up from the workshop to the tractor and refitted it. The whole job is so much easier then, say, changing the clutch on a car.

The tractor is now ready to test, except that it has rained this evening and is forecast for a day of rain tomorrow. Arch may well be test driver on Friday.

Enjoy yourself, for you when you return.

Interesting thought, flying Matadors....

I don't mind, I'm just worried about breaking it!

 

[Speicher]

I am not sure why Rocky thinks I should lend a spanner to Night Train.

I have, however, found out why I was delayed on my journey home. A bull had escaped from the local cattle market. So the road was closed so it could be caught.

 

[Arch]

Did it head straight for a china shop?

 

[Speicher]

There are lots of china shops in Worcester, but instead it decided to get onto the Motorway and head north towards Birmingham. My route home crossed the Motorway junction.

 

[Arch]

Blimey, things have to be bad if you're best bet is to head for Birmingham!
