Title: Slow start to year .... so far
Post by: Ian101 on January 05, 2012, 11:34:21 am
Piggin hell another day off  :o

Was out for half day yesterday but got too windy in afternoon in the hills of wales so thought try again tomorrow.

Up bright and early this morning ready for a days hard graft and still waiting for wind to die down.

Happy to work in rain but not in wind and rain.

Had to redo a big house as wind made it look like a bag of concrete powder had been chucked over windows after I had cleaned em.

Will be spending day on ebay looking for parts for my 1988 Xr3i thats finally back from paintshop after 2 years !!! told mate who owns paintshop just to fit it in around other jobs so as to keep bill down.
