burnt quite a few litres of dinosuars lately, but thats not useful, well except to tesco maybe.

Oh and took the forks out the sv to change the oil and put them back to silver or maybe black, bored of grey.

Painted my nails.

Ate all the cheese in the fridge before it went mouldy.

Fixed the Dyson so Mr LPH could vacuum the house.

Versys - no corrosion because it was doused in ACF50 a while ago.

Yamaha - no more corrosion than I'd expect on a 50K mile 02 bike.

I think this is the first winter it's seen. Looks like most of the miles were done in summer.

Well yesterday I cleaned my garage out, put some brackets on the wall to hang my 8 different hammers on

I fixed my 24v Bosch hammer drill as a wire had come off the soldered plate on the motor.

Bodged some bits together to use my paddock stand with my DRZ...




Finally I noted down all the model numbers of my tools that need attention so im gonna order some spares for them.

Productive day.
