G'day Col.
Trouble is I live on a corner block so there is twice as much outside than inside my fence. It's good this time of year, I haven't had to mow for 3 months and recon I'll get another two.

G'day Fellas.
I was supposed to go on a Club ride but as I hope to go back to work on Wednesday I had to finish off the new carport. Took 2 days to get the end screen up. The hardest part was attaching the uprights. The center one is about 5m high and working on the top step of the ladder is concerning.
The grey plastic pieces were on the old carport and the timber sections are new.
Now the big cleanup as a mate (my best man) is bringing his HD up for a service.
Cheers

We watch hospital documentaries: "This 73 year-old man fell off his stepladder while changing a light bulb!". Poo! 70 is the new 50.

No riding for this little black duck for a minimum of 6 weeks so I will be at the BSA international as a spectator,,,,,, bugger
The hernia  ( that I did not have ) was finally repairs but was twice the size that the scans ( that found it this time ) showed so it is light duties for the next 6 weeks , double bugger as right now is my busy season so I am looking at the 4 consecutive loss making year .
I can ride provided I do not kick start, lift the bike onto a staand , push or duck walk it
Might be time to get that C10 od D 1 happening

Ferried my wife to hospital for an appointment then continued the massive clear-out of the shed. Will be out on the bike later today though, rain or moonlight.
