Funny old year
Posted: Fri Aug 09, 2019 8:27 pm
Last year i kicked myself and resolved to get out more during the lighter evenings....fate has conspired to knock that on the head.
For those that know her, Sue (wifey) is still not out of the woods with her eye issues, a further Op planned for this week and as a consequence i've taken to spending more time around at home during the weekends. Which in turn made me forget umpteen times that I was supposed to be taking the fuel tank out of the car for a modification.....
I mean, why wouldn't i forget - i only walk past that garage which is 2 doors down from my home office about 8 times a day....
A couple of times i've been hunting for tools ----ok busted, i lost my angle grinder and as a last resort looked in that garage; 'Bugger, i knew i was supposed to do something to the car'....and by the time i walk back past i'd forgotten. Could be early onset of losing my marbles, or just juggling too much crap. Either way the car remains in exactly the same place as it did the night I got home from the EU trip.
Added to which i decide that i was becoming/had become ( delete as appropriate ) a fat old bastard, so have been gyming a few nights a week. All of sudden its dark by 9pm, no run mid week runs, no weekend runs....
anyway, with a bit of luck the tank will come out this week - i enlisted a pair of hands to do what i can't/won't find time for. And hopefully in a 3-4 weeks it'll go back in the car and i'll be out and about once again.
the purpose of the note....well, mainly to let folks know i'm still around, still enjoy the car and that my absence on sunday runs will hopefully be over soon!!
