This is some voodoo shit. Another two hours, and.
Wet sand tomorrow. :idiot2:
Midschoolfool:
OK so this might have happened.....
Long story short I forgot I had bid on them, and won. Not one to mess people around I paid for them. The Primos are cool and all, but the arms are different lengths and I am all OCD about it.
In other news about an hour ago I brillo padded the fork and shot the second and final coat.
Midschoolfool:
Fork done.
Midschoolfool:
So for the past three days I have done a total of absolutely nothing.
For a couple of years I have had this whooshing in my head when I sleep. Figured it was me sleeping poorly, or being too fat. Lost 6 stone, it still persisted. Few days ago after a hard couple of weeks I came to my mother's for a rest and there was a blood pressure machine here. Took my blood pressure and yeah. Not good, not good at all.
I am pretty certain it is being brought on by the brain meds I take. Problem is you get a choice. Take those meds and deal with the physical side effects, or, go out of your trolley. I spent 30 odd years doing the former and have no plans to do it again, so blood pressure meds it is. Because of that I really need to rest up as I won't have access to the meds for a week or so. Good old bank holiday.
Any way, the cranks haven't even shipped out yet and besides I needed a couple more things. Firstly my cable cutters are dead. Noticed they were not popping straight through like they used to, and the last cable I cut with them went south. So I bought another set. Not paying 35 quid for Park tool, because I have had mine 8 years and they cost the same as these new ones, a fiver. By the time I buy 7 sets I will very likely be dead, so yeah no point.
I also needed these. Ran out ages ago, been robbing peter to put on paul etc.
The last of the Ti bolts arrived today, so we now have enough to replace every single one on the bike.
And the front wheel is just sitting there too.
I can't do anything even if I wanted to right now, and I don't. I need the star nut to be able to mount the fork any way, and I don't have it yet. I also sent the decals off to my mate to print, so I am waiting on those, though tbh I could put them on after putting the fork on the bike but I can't do that without a star nut and top cap.
So I'm kind of being forced into resting, which I suppose is for the best.
Midschoolfool:
And relax.
