Car washing time...

Time to give the old girl (my GT4) a wash. It was raining heavily when I first went out to start on it so thought I'd give it a few minutes... I'm pretty sick of being out in the rain for now, as you might by now be aware lol

Sun came out nicely, then the wind started ... doh :-)

So, got on with it and did the job...

(if you wondering why it looks like you looking through a tube, I have a protective cover over the camera lens to protect it from the weather, you can just see the edge of it in the corners)



The time lapse of me being a car wash boy...
Nope - it doesn't go on for ever .... I don't think?



Job done :-) Ready to wash the motorcycle now... NOT!

A little 'grumble' post...

Well, it has been AGES since my last post so I have to get something up now... quick.

So here's a grumble post for today ;-) Hey, it's better than nothing so just accept it and read... lol

I have a few things on ebay for sale, stuff that has been sitting in the spare room for ages so I thot, time to get them moved on... So plan today was to meet a bloke half way from his place on the motorway. Sale was for some 6x9 speakers I have had for a few years and have no need for them now.

Well; What a day to sort it out! Got up round 8ish (which is fine), to get myself and bike sorted (decided to take the bike cause traffic at that time is not so good at all), it was and still is raining! But never mind, I got all the waterproof gear and a bit of rain is 10 times better that sitting in traffic (for me anyway...)

So all set up, Speakers and box wrapped up in 4 black bin bags and strapped to pillion seat. Off we go, happy days. Still raining but hey ho... Plan was to meet him at Junction 11 on the M62 motorway (about 15 miles from me - but a lot more further for the buyer so not to worry) at around 10am. So got there at 10 and after waiting there 'til 10.15 gave him a call to see if everything was ok.

He was waiting at J11 already? Ok, 'Housten, we have a problem'! To be sure I hadn't missed him I had a good look around, its not a big area, and saw no one. Asked him to confirm he was on the M62 motorway and he was sure he was. Anyway, after a lot of messing around, me riding up and down to check the other junctions (10 and 12) incase he was at one of them, bear in mind it's STILL &$^£(@£& raining and I'm getting cold, hands are now soaked from water running down my jacket sleeves into gloves and visibility is bad from all the spray from the traffic (but it's still better than sitting in slow traffic - although a car interior seems a mighty fine place to be right about now... Hmmm, music, heating, windscreen wipers ;-)

To cut a long story short, and after me riding all over the place, I call him back and ask him to definitely confirm that he is on the M62 motorway and not one of the others nearby - he realizes he IS on the wrong motorway!! My goodness, where do they come from these people...

Whatever happened to natural selection?... lol

Anyway, transaction went fine in the end, Im home now, coffee down my throat, riding gear dripping away in the kitchen (onto newspapers so the floor doesn't get soaked, see, house trained me... ;-) and bike drying off outside - protected from the rain by the side of the house.

What a miserable few hours I have just had, and to top it off I was recovering from my mild cold and sore throat, am waiting to get pneumonia now!!! Not just any pneumonia but the deadly MAN pneumonia (the tough strain that women don't get cause they can't take it... lol)

Well, gonna make myself another cuppa tea, then might think about a bit of lunch to get my energy up ready for the above attack to come on ;-)

Been a good morning otherwise...

How your day been so far?
