Today we get to find out if the last 10 months has been profitable or not as our sheeps get listed for sale on the internet. Hope springs eternal.

[Discoanywhere]

I cleared out the shed of all the junk that was stopping us from storing the bikes.

Unfortunately I also cut in half a wooden bedframe that my missus says she told me she wanted to keep as it's part of a set still in use.

Now trying to escape from the doghouse 

[Saffy]

carve her a love spoon from the remains

[Mutz]

Well yesterday i spent the whole day cleaning the rust off my tow bar, & painting it and it still looks like poo!!!!

[lambert]

Yesterday I went looking for plywood, wowsers its dear stuff. Today I think we are off to fountains abbey to walk the dog.

[Saffy]

Went to a ham radio rally in Frome .......*shudder*

Can't believe the crap people trying to sell for good money. One stall looked like it selling all the same type of end of life computer gear we would put in a recycling waste stream in work as we wouldn't dare put it for sale as re-use.

For sale on the net! whats wrong with your local cattle market/or Sheep fair?? cant give them a poke and grope on line ,

[lambert]

I was possibly being too optimistic thinking they would go the same day they were listed we are having to wait and see. As to why not to market? Well one its a lot of work and two if they go through in tens you run a risk of the richer buyers taking the cream and therefore reducing the average price, oh and only those people at that sale will see them whereas on the net it is a wider catch of buyers. All that said this is the first time we have tried this so it may fall on its face, we need to see how good our seller is.

You'll be leaving us for the beetle boys then are you? Seriously though good luck and I hope you can make the best of it!.

[lambert]

Today, depressingly I discovered that my favorite band of musical poets have split up boo hiss. Last bleeding summer double boo hiss! No more beautiful soul poetry. Boo and indeed hiss!

[Welshbreed]

You'll be leaving us for the beetle boys then are you? Seriously though good luck and I hope you can make the best of it!.

Pah! No!
I'll merely be expanding my horizons. Anyone got some spare flat engines about I can "rebuild"/learn?
I think I need to read up on my VeeDubs. Fortunately I can just about tell apart a type 1 from a type 4, and a Type 2 T3 from a Type 3 and I know a bit about the history thanks to college theory. And I always fancied a Rat Rod T1 Van :]

But I dont think it'll ever replace my <3 for land rovers. Speaking of which, I might have gained a free galvanised chassis from another friend today :]

Oh and today I...
Handed in the final assignments for college. and for my 42 required credits, I've handed in 49 credits worth (hurrah) and added some extra credit crap in the form of PSD (Personal Social Development) a.k.a. I can now get a job because I wrote a C.V. and and can use a debit card and cash. Sigh.

I used to be fairly into vdubs even had a few but I was more into modded mk2 polo's and mk1 golf gti's that said a split screen drop side pickup would be cool especially with a Porsche 2.7 in the back..

Hope you get the grades you need. Good luck.

[lambert]

Today daddy and I had a free and frank discussion regarding the various merits of pickup trucks with covered backs. Basically my point was why have a pickup just to fix a back on it anr ruin the practicality of it being open why not put a van body on it and be done or leave it open and stop with one or the other rather than a bodge compromise that is a royal pita.

[Saffy]

Today I have partial been dealing with irrational idiot consumer who is using distant selling regulations as a crowbar whom get on their hobby horse over a 9 quid purchase where they are at fault but write epic complaint emails which must take them several hours to compile where I just skim over them, count to 10 and make a gritted teeth reply telling them the error of their ways... sit back and wait for next novel to be written on how I am wrong.

(punctuation omitted intentionally)

Why am I given the job of dealing with with returns issues? I'm a orrible git and got plenty of other things to do.  It might be that my bosses think I am good at spotting the people who are trying to rip us off fraudulent -  but to me that comes easy as I just treat every complaining customer as if they are trying to skank me personally

28/06/12 

Today i have mostly been selling my Rangie dse it sold itself to be honest nice truck shame about the constant computer probs,
the buyer reckons he has the kit to put it right but so did the garage who looked after it for me  and the lecky probs just kept coming back, had a test drive in a Merc ML270 this afternoon nice drive but no charisma doesnt have that something the Rangie has, in the morning its the turn of a Disco TD5 04 with 56k on the clock i owner hope its as good as the seller says.

[lambert]

Today I was forced against my better judgment to re engineer my fixed pickup lid with the intent of it becoming more quick release. What a tragedy that was. Before it was 4 nuts and a heavy lift, off in ten min now it its a swear fest and a damaged hand 4 R clips 4 tube nuts and a very heavy lift and takes half an hour of laying on my back in the dark.

Oi old man I'm a qualified engineer you do what your skills lend you to and I'll do mine but don't tell me how to do what you can't.

And breathe.

I need a holiday. On my own. With my tools and my landy.

[Saffy]

big english breakfast to start

load up car with dogs and mrs to go for walk in the cotswold water park.

On the way some scumbag walk straight out of a pub across the road in front of the car in front causing it to emergency stop. The car beeped horn and scumbag turned around and came back at the car jeering and offering driver out. Then continued mouthing off at the two slappers outside the pub he originally must of been having a barnie with. Came back across the road to confront the pub slappers right in front of my car....

I saw much surprise on his face from my rear view mirror after he had stopped spinning around and landing on his ass after being clipped by my wing mirror       

Did some geocaching in the water park.

Came home and found email from boss along the lines of - 'have anger customer asking why we sent her a large widget when she bought a small blooper'
Something like that usually means I have messed up in a big way. But this time I knew we don't even sell a large widget but we do sell plenty of other stuff inside recycled large widget boxes. Phoned customer up using my own dime.... stupid cow hadn't even opened the  box... there inside is her item. 

[LandRoger]

Not yer normal Sunday day out in the countryside then  , As for myself i was sat in a hide all afternoon with my Spaniels didnt get a shot all afternoon then after i had packed up and was driving away i saw the reason why there was a chappie flying his big ol eagle owl and a Harris hawke about 300 yards away :rolleyes:oh well had a nice quiet dog nap along with the Springers,

Today was quite a good day. Daddy and I got on quite well for what seems like the first time in 6 months, we re configured one of the storage rooms it was almost calm all day. Then to top it off he has agreed to consider the idea of a tomcat lid for the 90 which if it comes to owt will be very cool.

maybe he knows they are like hens teeth

[lambert]

At 300quid from tomcat they are quite dear for something that needs tailoring but if its the best solution then so be it.
