The Dark Wob

Been given this by one of Mrs SiC friends. He bought an upright one, leaving this one surplus and in his way.

Think I might put it out the back of the garage and build a little house for it.

Powered it up and turns out it's noiser than I expected. So maybe it will have to live in the garage. At least for now, until I can built a sound proof house for it. It's also missing the dipstick on the pump, so no real idea on how much oil should be in it.

Put one of those knackered room stats to use last week. It's sunny, I've been out with the dog and saw a young chap in a mk1 megane cabby.
I'm very tempted to go and get the mazza.

I expect it will let you know......

Do it. Only reason I haven't pulled the Boxster out is that it's on SORN and I'm not paying for a months tax for a week.

I haven’t done it as yet but I’m hoping to hear back from a chap today about going to view a ‘72 Beetle this afternoon.

Van's on SORN, Cowley has its MOT booked this week (yeah, yeah don't need one. Etc.) but I did take the Minor on a good long Forest run this morning as I am so sick of being in a Ford Focus when we need any essentials*

Had a clear out in the garage today to put the compressor, that Mrs SiC friend gave me, somewhere sensible. Also gave me a chance to clear this area up that was slowly being stacked with clutter.


Clutter like this, that I should really throw away. Run out of places I can fix this together onto.


Ran compressor up and it did compression things. Actually noiser than I expected. I don't think it's that much quieter than my direct drive unit really.


Gave my nibbler a run too. Previously I got about 30 seconds before my small compressor ran out of puff - literally.


While I was clearing out, I thought I'd give the mower a startup


Re-fitted the battery but lost the retaining bar. So in naturally used the bodgers choice of zip ties


Made another rubbish cold start video

Which left a mess on the lawn. No doubt I will get told off about tomorrow when Mrs SiC looks out the window in the morning.

JDM fridge repair yo.
