Mmmmmm....bike related stuff........oh yes, forgot to mention , I bought some new safety shoes for work at the begining of the year and the right shoe has started squeeking when I walk , its been annoying me for 2/3 weeks now but been busy servicing my ford fusion , new oil filter , oil , rocker cover gasket , front spring , front and rear wheel bearing and a general check over , bearings were a right pain , just one bearing now , not like the good old days when you had 2 pushed in from each side , new one is about 40/45mm deep , had to smash it out and use my die grinder to remove the outer seat , getting the new one in was'nt easy either , in the old days you could use the old bearing as a drift and just knock them in no problem , not any more had to put the bearing in the freezer and the hub in the oven ,180 degrees for 20 mins for all you chefs out there
then use my oversized sash cramp to ease it in , all done now but what a pain , iam also in the middle of decorating the small box room at the top of the stairs but had to stop to sort the car out , i need the car for work because i carry lots of tools so no car no work , talking of work , iam extremely busy at the moment , a small department with just the two of us but my work buddy has had to take time off to recover from an operation which could be upto 6 weeks
loads of work to get out before the end of the month and ive been given a young apprentice to cover a master craftsman with nearly 50 years experience
so while iam training up the young one iam not getting anything done myself .........
so , got to sort one thing out at a time , going to take my shoes back shortly and see if i can get a new pair...
nearly forgot , going to take my FAZER.....as i dont like paying for parking.......
