Hello all,
Just thought I'd pop my head in to say hello, since I have been very quiet lately with household stuff, kids, work, etc. I love the idea of getting back together and I do thorougly miss you all! I'd be really keen on getting some multi day stuff in a bit later in the year, but this year has started off very slowly for me for any number of reasons, with very little time on the bike.
In other news, I nearly joined the on-call fire service out of Ongar Station, got my number and everything and I'd have been off for my training next week, but unaided eyesight let me down so I should perhaps have applied a few years earlier! I bought a drone and lost it, bought a more expensive drone and crashed it, bought a new (2019, that's new
to me) motorcycle that was delivered this morning but I can't go out and play on it until my wife gets home from work. Someone ran over my back wheel last month as I was cycling home from work when I stopped them to tell them off for their awful driving and limited knowledge of the Highway Code, so I swapped it over with a spare one and then noticed my jockey wheels are moving sideways quite a lot, so I'll replace those today. Also, the chain was in need of replacement, so that will be done today, too. That said, I've been saying this for about a week. Need now to look at getting the old wheel trued up, if possible.
So, its been all fun and games. Oh, and I'm making a bird table, and I restored an old arbour bench that we bought for the garden, second-hand. And, also I installed Nextcloud on an old server that my brother gave me and Open Media Vault on two others; all now in a rack I built in the garage. No wonder I haven't been out on the bike!
Can't wait to see you all again!
Nick.
