the what have you done today thread

What year is it mark? Looks well tidy

 

Yuk..
Cheap oil....

 

Nice trip out today.
Took the time to lubricate all the bits and got under with a grease gun.

Transfer box and both axles topped up with oil too.

 

It's pretty fun.
Small town though so pretty much everyone knows me and my car...

 

Time to fix an air leak.
Got it loaded up in the Volvo ready for an Easter car meet.
Let's see if I win something this year

 

Look i made creme eggs.
As you all know I live in Norway and you can't get them here.
Plus I don't eat dairy as I'm not a baby cow...
Politics aside..
Pretty easy to make.
Melt chocolate, get some fondant icing and yellow food colour. Make the "eggs" pour chocolate into moulds, drop the fondant eggs in.
Simple.
Then eat them all...
And wish you made 50 more.

 

Uk weather is epic atm, went for a ride to the country and a old fashioned English pub

 

Yeah it's been amazing here.
I took all the windows off my Volvo on Friday.

 

Nice... what temps are you seeing there? We are in the early 20s already atm

 

Sub 20. But it can be less than 10 in the summer here...

 

Done NOTHING on the bikes this last week!
Decided to re-model the garage instead
All the shelving has gone but I'm keeping one bit for panels to go on when I strip a bike. Thrown out several engines, rims, lumps of metal, plastics, cables, bolts and screws, got ruthless as you have to sometimes.
I have a mate who works for a well known house building company, I won't name it for obvious reasons, who has supplied me with a selection of kitchen worktops that have been changed in these new houses, I'm using those for the new work bench tops and shelves underneath, and a load of 3 x 2 CLS stud timber for the frames. All of this would have gone straight into the skips on site if he hadn't "rescued" them on my behalf.
The entire floor is getting concreted and levelled 4 inches thick, about a quarter left to do, but it's a ball-ache when you have to work around everything to do it. Can't exactly chuck all the gear outside for a couple of days can I......
All the electrics are coming out and getting re-newed and re-routed, as are all the lights, sockets and switches. Plus the fuse board upgrade.
Going to need that for the new machine that should be here in a couple of weeks.
Thank god I have my own cement mixer
It already looks a lot bigger inside than before, and I should be able to keep the bike trailer in there as well overnight and move it out when I need to work, saves getting it nicked. Plus I'll still have room for about 8 bikes, unless I lose control of my "that looks like a good project" senses, and then it'll be taking up the back patio as well.
Good job I've no wife to nag me isn't it
