Weve got a bit of an access issue

Going to be interesting trying to make that 7am ferry crossing tomorrow.
This loader is too small for the job so we took it back home ,hopefully HEB gets out here with some bigger machinery today.

there is a trampoline wedged itself halfway down the bushy bank by the 4SQ. Gonna be a mission to get that out. Right now the dads muttering 'bloody kids'

All it did here was rain heavily, no wind to speak of, didn't hear any thunder either.

Was quite impressive here so guessing your sleep was on the deep side!

Orange hides the dirt well. Either that, or your face-fungus has grown like mad and is making you wool-blind.

Prise out the wipers and slide clear of the outers, give them a clean. Clean the fork inner to the edge of the oil seal. Carefully slide the corner of an old business card between the oil seal and the fork inner and slide it around; try to scoop out any grit rather than push it in. As a minimum you should spray the entire fork inners and wipers with a lubricant to reduce stiction - I use Motorex Joker 440 synth oil spray as it won't cause issues when it blends with the synth fork oil, and generally I avoid silicon sprays due to side-effects. Spray the fork, slide the wiper up and down a few times to spread out the spray, then re-fit the wiper. I've had good results with filling the void of the seal side of the wipers with snyth grease, too. Seems to stop a lot of grit making it to the seal.

Fixed.

Not quite, but the first big lot of thunder woke me up, so I saw the lightning and heard the thunder of the next lot... was 1km from us. Didn't wake the boy up though!

I must confess, I like a good thunderstorm.

All that power & energy and danger... makes you feel alive.
