    Eh?

    No, I'm trying to hook up my waterblaster to the throne. Just need to extend the pull cord on the motor by about 8ft.

    Along the lines you imply, I am spending my evenings knitting a nurses uniform so that my better half can have the full ensemble with her latex gloves and mask.

    Cheers Sugilite, I've sent that to my Mum to show Dad, he's using the aforementioned BnS ride on with a trailer around the section at the mo to move things about, but I'd think he'd be quite keen to build something like that. He's still working though as he builds pharmaceutical vats so they've kept his workshop going. Some of the regulations that go into making medicine is quite interesting, all welds have to be of a certain type etc.

    Project front for me slowed down a bit, I've run out of stuff to actually work on except for repacking the Buckets muffler so hopefully it doesn't annoy any residents near kart tracks. I'm saving that for later so I have something to do.

    Lots of cleaning done round the house though, wiping down walls etc. Not much fun but it's good to do it every now and then. I've also perfected my head shots with the .50 sniper on the new call of duty game quite well. Stripped the grape vine of about 30kgs of grapes then had to throw a bunch of them out as it was hard to give them away with very little traffic coming past the house.

    Decided to give the cars some love while they aren't being driven about collecting bugs. Focus got a really good clean the other day and I think I'll wash it one more time and give it a good wax. So tempting when I got it to the bottom of the drive to keep going and give it a good hoon, managed to stop myself though.

    Yeah I thought about making some prison wine.
    Then I thought ewwww.

    Wife did make some grape jam though, not too bad I must say.

    I decided to clean out the back shed which is 10 sqm and normally holds the overflow from the garage, I was a lot more ruthless than normal

    So as far as it goes I gained fucking zero shed space but much more in the Garage as I moved another couple of bikes to the shed, I'll save the garage for another day as I'm a bit tired now

    Some of that shit looks familiar. But I'd never seen the BM before.

    Frame is progressing. Crossmenbers in. Gearbox bottom mount in.
    At some point in a build I have a crisis of confidence - have i got my sums right ?
    So pulled it off the jig and banged the forks in it and a front wheel...
    Yes, it's low - 3 ft to the top of the steering head - but enough ground clearance thank someones god.

    It's low because I was stuck with a bottom pivot gearbox from a rigid frame.
    The pivot point had to be around 5 inches below the swingarm pivot for the chain lines to work.

    Tomorrows job is welding. Then the engine plate pickup points to make and fit.

    And it's light.....

    Got it off Sidecarbob quite sometime ago, then I started racing the LCR and everything else went on hold, got some bigger discs and AP calipers for it and some different rims, it may get a new life as a sidecar yet, I just need someone to build me a frame
