Give me $1800 and I'll put you up for 8 days and take you fishing in the local reservoir? Only thing you'll probably catch is warts but it's cheaper then your budget.

Outer bedrooms pretty dark to be honest, when we moved in we fitted a blind then Jenny added curtains too for some reason. It's kinda now less about being woken and more in my routine/bodyclock if that makes sense? It's like my brain just thinks '2.30 let's go boyo!'. Might talk to a pharmacist and see if there's any sleeping type meds that are just super light to see if it helps, then try and work off them.

Yeah I was pretty aware the tv thing wasn't the best idea, but I just get out of bed so I don't keep fidgeting and wake Jenny. I always feel pretty drained to be honest so it's getting in the way of work a little.

I've come to the realisation I have a sleep problem, I go to bed around 10.30 most nights and fall straight to sleep, I was waking up around 2.30 totally awake yet still tired so I go and watch tv for a few hours. This started around a year ago when my neighbour started working nights, I'm a light sleeper anyway so any noise wakes me really but now it just seems to have become normal and part of my routine I guess. I'd guess to say this happens 4 nights out the week and it's starting to get to me now. Doesn't matter what I do, once I'm awake that's it for the day. Need to get this sorted as it's really impacting now..

I remember building my OnOne and thinking it was super long and slack, especially being the 456 summer season. I got my five then an it felt like a motor bike It's huuuuuge.
-
Perfect cheers dude, it's a good start. We'll give it a week for others to shout up if they're interested then start working from those numbers I guess.

Poifick. Date remains, location remains. So what I propose is we set the time to meet at 11.30 so nobody's rushing round super early to get there. Probably eaten and stuff by 1.30/2 then that leaves loads of time to get off karting etc for those that do. Anybody got any suggestions where to eat? I'll have a Google tonight and come up with a few suggestions.
-
So I'm suggesting pub/diner meet, hour in the carpark or something chatting then pub grub, those who want to do karting go for it those who don't if they wanna just chill in the carpark or shoot off it's upto individuals then.
-
I'm too tall for go karting
-
Drive to mine, then to Oxford. Simples.

I swapped to a tiiiiiny stem last year, little ragley 0* 30mm or something and it made the orange feel really perky an nimble. Sucked on the climbs as when your really cranking all it wants to do is pop but it's outweighed massively when you point it downhill.
-
Yeah that's a better explanation of what I was going for haha. Sorry when I mean depth I mean depth into the cut material, your mortice depth. Usually it's by means of changing the bearing size on the cutter to adjust. Triple check your chop saw. Both of mine have those generic stops but they're horseshit. Buy some super good quality clamps. They always come in. Www.axminster.co.uk They usually have good deals on good clamps, check them for cutter bits too. I've had alot from there and even the budget range is superior to the shit you buy at screwfix. I've got some cutters that are 5/6 years old from there that are still as good as the day I bought them.

Dunno to be honest, just know I don't have the willing to keep up with sorting this

Best bet is to buy a 1/2" collet slot cutter with variable depth. Aim for something around 12mm thickness of cut. Your uprights alot from top to bottom on the Inner edges, the slats cut a slot on those on the lower edge of the top one, and upper edge of the lower. Then using 12mm mdf face with your chosen timber have them cut to size, side the lot together with a good wood adhesive and clamp. Your effectively making a mortice and tenon that carries/frames your inner panel too. With a homebrew table the cuts would be super quick. Best way of ensuriby square is to take time setting up your tools. Genuinely i can loose and hour or so finding true 90* on my chop saw. Hence why I now own 2, one for angles and one for straight cuts haha. Set up time genuinely will save you hours later down the line.

Haha that's the upshot with Ted I guess, he's only 12kg so isn't much of an anchor. I got car reg idea from Jenny's dads work colleague. He has working spaniel that are always loose in pines and regularly dissapear. He has his van reg and 'parked in main carpark' on them all. He just slips them on when they go to work and it's worked for him few times.
-
Best thing I ever did with Ted was to buy a longish lead and just cycle slowly around the park with him attached to my wrist. Let him have a sniff and do his business first then just jogging pace laps of somewhere quiet so he can get used to the bike and noises. After that I just picked the pace up and he just kept getting more and more used to the motions and braking. After about 2 weeks I took him to pines on a Sunday afternoon and just went for it. He was awesome, super proud of him and now it's just second nature to him, he knows the blue and red trail as well as I do now and loves the chase. He has to have a little break and drink every 20 mins or so as hes designed to sprint not for distance but he does well. He's built the muscle up now to run for longer but it doesn't feel right having him run for too long. When we go to Pines I have 2 tags for him. One with my address and phone number on and then one with my car reg and model etc so if he's found they have a hope of returning him in the car park. He's never once strayed from the trail though.

If love to Ed but I've got work coming out my arse at the minute to be honest. Ask at your local timber yard, they will know of someone to take the task on and usually know who's good and who to avoid.

Not aware of this juicyness, update me..

One hundred and twenty pound coins.

Feel the power, bitches. Joking aside for the money we've paid it's a storming car and will be a perfect stop gap for Jenny while we figure out what she wants next. 6 months mot and 25k from new . I'm just pleased my folks.still have some cassettes she can listen to on her blaupunkt tape deck
