Cooooeeee. 4 deg here and maybe a bit foggy as well although it's too dark to see. 😆

Showing day for us.

Stay safe peeps

Does it come with the remote control to help you find your bike, in amongst the hundred other bikes as pictured in the advert?

Still think a Kranks Landmine or Door Alarm would have been better.

Yes, it does. This one is very much a trial run. If I'm not happy with it I'm going to look at alternatives including the above. A friend has a Cruxer, I've seen it in action which was part of my decision.

If I don't like it on the bike I'll attach to the locks I have for the bikes in the garage. An extra alarm on this would be very useful.

Im confused.

The FBI fundamentally exists because Murica has Federal law that requires enforcement across state lines.

So how can we, with no federal law and no internal geographical limits to police powers (with a few minor quriky exceptions), have a "British FBI"?

Grey and dull on the river. All is still.

 

[Drago]

Grey and dull here on the land. Not much happening out there either.

Finish my coffee then get tidying.

Morning all

Parcels to post first thing , then off to Minehead Tesco for some shopping.
Dropping in to best mates house, on the way back, to inspect a Royal Enfield model G engine that he's just stripped.

 

[Binky]

Morning.
Grey, dull damp. Usual.
Will attempt to fix vacuum once tools arrive so I can actually get into the damned thing.
Possibly some weights later.

 

[Dirk]

I am wasted on here i could be a £millionaire
I suggested that you give a free refurbished engine with every stand. I said you will sell a lot more stands that way.
Wasted I tell yer.

I'd give a free stand away with every rebuilt engine...

Nuts. Back in my long lost youth I did a bit of rock climbing but that was with protection, ie ropes etc. I also did some bouldering which is low level climbing without gear which even if you fell you were unlikely to get injured.
That though is crazy as even the best make mistakes and one mistake there and you are dead.

Yes, watched that on the news.
My job for the last 10 years was classed as 'working at height/height safety' but as you say, that is scary.

If you think that's scary, have you watched the French guy do the tightrope walk between the twin towers.
Think the video is called 'Man on Wire'.

I’d have stayed in to gently correct and take the mick….my view being that if sane and sensible people do nothing, we will end up with trump-lite over here too 😳
I’m actually on Truth Social. Drop in perhaps once a week to let off steam at the mango Mussolini, then leave. Obvs has no real impact, but makes me feel I am doing something good 🤣

It turns out TS gets antsy if you accuse the mango Mussolini of deploying murderers in the ICE bullies 🤣

Freedom of speech? I don’t think so. I even managed to post without swearing 🤷‍♂️

Meanwhile…a damp rest day here. Flatten some molehills. Maybe a drive out later for a cuppa overlooking the sea. Rain later.
