Here We Go Again

Plus it slows stuff down i.e. me doin work on the Bonneville, it gets so bleeding ‘ot in the shed ya gotta wander outside to get a bitta fresh air and wipe the sweat off. Just on the Bonneville, it’s got an annoying rattle in the top end that I just gotta find and fix. Pulled the front cam out to double check the anti-backlash gear, reset that now I’m changing all the stupid torx screws for allen head bolts in the cam blocks – damn stupid idea are them torx screws.
The only other things I need to do are fit the Lucas tail light, the short Lucas blinkers and the Ped Slicer 😉

Yes I can sit under an air conditioner but that gets boring pretty damn quick when it’s day in n day out and when the nights are stinkin hot and ya tryin to sleep that’s even worse.
Anyway, that’s my whine for the day.

What A Day

Oh well it’s raining (sorta) now and they’ve predicted storms so we can only hope. I personally am really starting to get well peeved at the political crap that’s filling the mailbox and TV of late, the worst I’ve seen (so far) was from Fred Nile, talk about stirring shit!! Ok, every one has the right to free speech but all he is doing is pandering to his targets, giving them something else to bitch and complain about as a minority – he won’t achieve anything by using the wording he’s used except alienating a large number of voters in this weekends state elections. Personally I’m bloody surprised he got away with what he did. I’m not going to repeat it, if you want to read it you can google his name.
Anyhoo, that’s my rant for the day I’m off to suss eBay and see what over inflated priced items are sucking people in.

Two Months (Close Enough To) – Sheesh

Apart from the usual crappy weather (HOT) sod all really, I have done the following of late although they’re not in any particular order. Airbrushed a pic of Cardiff Castle, also did a flamed skull for Grandson number 1 umm I’ve done a few tatts, one day I’ll remember to take photo’s shrug. Been playin the Hex Box of late, too friggin ‘ot to bother wanderin outside, even the dark is ‘ot – I’m really thinkin of headin back home coz this is gettin beyond a joke now (the heat that is).
Like I’m sittin ‘ere at 7:30pm, the sun’s on its way down, sending its pink and orange tentacles reaching out for the stars, the blinds are shut, the ceiling fan is circulating the dust that settles on it and I’m still sweatin’ grrrrrrrrr fuck I’m a whinger today. Might drag the laptop in the sittin’ room and add more to my collection of short stories – I digress, I was ravin’ on about what I’ve been doin. I got the printer sorted after some hiccups so I can print stencils now, no more hand tracin’ – still haven’t got me arms tattooed yet, been too busy lookin for a shop somewhere in Wales. Virtually all the ones I’ve found are for rent, I wanna buy one with a residence above – it’ll save on havin to travel to work BAHAHAHAHA
Anyhoo that’s about it, I might see about updating this weekly and stop bein a slack bastard.
Adios
