United States of GRIZZ - Just how random do you want it?

[Grizz]

Yup

That’ll be me in a word.

What’s not to love.

Weather outside sucks.

But it does make the van pop.

Yes I know….. how many pics can i take?

Perfectly posed for a camera and For Sale advert

Obviously with a name like mine, finding name plates in a shop is impossible. 


Almost found one this week. 


Was tempted. 


In the meantime, George continues to be his usual self. 


Wardrobes, cabinets, boxes etc are just irresistible to him. 


Yesterday it was the airing cabinet. 


He didn’t want to come out. 


So I walked away. 


Came down later 


Dickhead.

[Grizz]

And the world keeps going round and round…..

George??

Straight into the vacated lodgers room.

Aaron left yesterday after 16 months.


Also saw some pictures.

Yes……. They appeal to my senses.

Failed to buy this today.

Probably saved by Karma.

Maybe not.

Sold for £900.00 and guy was local.

I am 170 miles and a rented van away from it.

Insurance quote was £373.69 a yes. Way too rich for a silly toy.

A few weeks ago I also tried to buy the red one pictured.

£600.00 and situated in Jersey, a lovely island @Dozer and I visited before, just off France in the channel.

Jeep

Rezin Rockit is getting collected tomorrow.

Guess the time to start C10 restoration is near.

[Grizz]

So how do you like my garden and hedges every year ?



I do like them straight and tidy.



I live on a dead straight road.



Speed limit……. 30mph or 48.3 km/h



However…., Thursday Woodsie and Teresa came around for lunch (massive sausage rolls and Belgian buns Google it) that they supplied.



They left around 2.00pm



I headed out at 3.00pm to go price up Long wheelbase tall Sprinter Van Hire in person….. and to find out costs for using a van for a trip 1000 miles or 1600km into Europe.



So……… I challenge you all to figure out what thats possibly all about.



When I got out the house, I noticed car tyre tracks across my sidewalk/pavement grass. Its winter, so wet, soft, fragile lawns.



So some big    ( “Doos” for America and the rest to go figure out the meaning of) had driven onto my sidewalk (in the UK I actually own the land to the kerb through an ancient rule about possession and maintenance.



Not only driven over my sidewalk but managed to shift, move, uproot, destroy part of my front hedge.



Only spring and summer will tell how much the roots are damaged.



Anyway, they obviously drove off.



I am thankful that Kevin had already left because his car was parked in the pathway of the juggernaut idiot driver who didn’t have the decency to knock and apologise. Yes I would have done that.





Hopefully they have a fcucked car



Yes I am pissed at them. 



My problem.

[Grizz]

End of one, start of another.

Rezin Rockit got collected on Valentine’s Day

And it clearly didn’t want to go.

Kicked me in the nuts as I started it up to drive it up onto the transport trailer.

I had ensured that it was perfect for the new owner during the week and gave him a run through of its functions.

A video showing him what he was getting.

It still looked so good parked in the carport.

But when I started it up, there was a squealing sound and the silence as the fanbelt, original to the engine, shredded itself and knocked the crankshaft crank position sensor off its mounting point. Rendering the engine unable to start.

So we pushed it over and used the winch to load it.

Totally gutted.



I absolutely hate selling stuff and not delivering on expectations.

This time though, the car had the last laugh.


.

[Grizz]

Not a lot done today. But a video filmed.

35’F outside today with a breeze

Started Moving stuff around

Clearing workspace

Little steps

Easy.



The trailer loaded with a pile of wooden shutters.

Swept out the carport as well.

Then unearthed the cab roller as well as the cab hoist.

Remember this tool Martin and I made 9 years ago.




More clearing space to do tomorrow.

Hopefully a little bit every day.
