Just having a boring day. Thought id bore you all with it.

Started at 7 and was at stenhousemuir for 9 left site at 10 it was a s#%t hole. Ran to glasgow for my reload. Sat 2 hours waiting for details then eventualy just set of home empty.

Got a call and told to go to cairnryan "your going to ireland". Got to the dock. Not booked in. Booked myself on the ship. And booked return sailing too as i do plan to go home sum time this week.

Now im just sat waiting for my sailing at 2000. Been here since half 4 mind. So im bored. Very bored.

On the plus side a m8 of mine has acquired sum steel plate to make my bumper and exhaust brackets out of. Score!

More boring stuff. On the ferry home. Just want to get back in the garage. And crack on with all the stuff thats bn delivered and is waiting to be fitted.

Unfortunately it appears im working this weekend. No sure what im doing. But ill b home tonight. Might just start her up to hear it running again. Is it sad that it make me smile?

Nothing sad about that at all. My stepdad's 3.9 Discovery failed an MOT ages ago due to rear end rot, and it's been sitting on the drive since. He starts it up every weekend, and just listens to it. It keeps his self esteem up, and keeps the truck working properly. He's attatched to that truck like I am to mine, even though I've not had mine as long abviously. He's gonna pay the £2000 plus to get his restored rather than buy another with lower mileage. (His is coming up on a quater million.)

It's a loyalty thing. You wouldn't shoot your dog because it needed an operation. (Sorry, best metaphor I could think of.)

Dont think the forum was designed for my rants but more rather depressing news. All signs point to not being home all wkend.

So along with having bumpers to make. Holes to weld. Brakes to fit.

Also skirting. Architrave. Dado. Tiling. Painting. Papering. A leaky central heating pipe.

I seem to hav lots of stuff to do. Still theres always nxt wkend.

The joys of truck driving. All i can say is if im not gona be home there better be cold beer available!

I suppose if your working your earning, and maybe that means instead of making a bumper you could buy one instead, I know it isn't as much fun but at least you will keep on track,

One extreme to the other. As much as i dnt get paid for being off. I am off all weekend and my colleague who snaffled the steel plate is heading back to our depot too so i can get that off him.

Hopefully i'll hav more fotos of new stuff to post in my build by sunday.

Any one got photos of how they made adapter for snorkel onto the su???

As i only hav a matter of days to geit MOT worthy (weekdays dnt count as im normally away). I havnt got off to a gr8 start. Shud be almost home but no. Stuck at hull and bn told i may not get loaded till 4 tomorro. Then i hav to tip it @ teesside. Hav it modified n reloaded. Fingers crossed i get sunday off. Cos its gona b late tomorrow.

So if anyone live in hull im in the reindeer pub. MO4s r playing live l8r. And i drink carling.
