Not only do they grow quickly, they don't take much looking after and just a few steps from the kitchen.
    Yeah mate, we kinda went big. But worth it.

    Whilst we've been waiting to find a place to live, I've been having a play with "rigid" electrical conduit. Bendy lego. 4m for 5 bucks and all sorts of elbows and joiners to choose from. I made a wee mobile garden self-watering garden (never got around to attaching the wheels lol) using some stakes I had lying around and some conduit. It looks fucking ridiculous, but we bagged some lettuce and cucumber and I got to have a play with an auto-pot system and soiless substrates. On a grander scale at the next place, it should look exponentially more ridiculous... looking forwards to it.
    I didn't think!!! I experimented!!!

    Yeah man. My SO is a passionate gardener and keeps us stocked with veges and stuff. Because of the shape of our section the amount she can do is limited. I am going to buy her one of those thingys.

    Once we box the last one in, the plan is to fill them a bit on the ground with new dirt and grow spices etc.

    Went downstairs to tinker in the garage this morning & realised if I was to be working in there for a month it needed a bit if a tidy up.
    Six hours later after a massive tidy up & getting proper reception on the workshop stereo, i pulled the carbs off the K2 750/4 & have the bits soaking overnight.
    So much stuff to do, I hope a month is enough.

    I brought the drill mounted polishing mops & the purple metal polish home from the workshop.
    Will give the alloy a good going over on it too.
    Only bugger is that I'd quite like some airbox rubbers for it, but you guessed it, can't get parts.

    4into1.com mate. They have a lot of sohc goodies. Got rear carb rubbers set for the 550F from them. Shipping isn't cheap but you'll have them in about a week. I consolidated my shipments by getting a number of spares at a time.https://4into1.com/search.php?search...erater&Search=

    https://4into1.com/insulator-set-honda-cb750-1971-1976/

    https://4into1.com/genuine-honda-int...750-1971-1976/

    Also hunt around for just the rear insulstors/rubbers....
    Edit- Just had a quick gander with no luck. The non-genuine insulator set isn't badly priced at all.

    Decided to do the spark plugs on wifes Caldina after putting it off for a month or so, whoever decided to stick the big intercooler on top of the engine and tilt the engine back towards the firewall really isn't my friend right now. Still worth it for the turbo boooooost.


    Not sure why but KB has decided I took the pic sideways so just tilt your head and pretend

    Flick 4into1.com an email Bob. I found them pretty responsive. Easy to create an account with them as well. You only give credit details on purchase. As far as I'm aware Airfeight is still moving. And as it happens they are fairly close an int'l airport.

    If you had ever done the plugs in a Toyota V6 people mover you would be feeling like you had got off very light about now.
    Gotta love the turbo goodness though.
