Tom Booth

Cree T5s still running over here. I don't even discharge the batteries when it comes to summertime which I really should do. Still as bright and long lasting as ever! Funnily enough I fitted mine up this weekend for the night rides that are coming up.

A good friends dad suffered a major heart attack which triggered a huge stroke about a week ago, he died yesterday morning after spending a week as essentially a vegetable . Seems odd, used to go to the pub with him, he was the last person you'd expect to die like this, he completed the London Marathon for the passed 3 years and was a regular at tough murder events and stuff.

I felt kinda bad after. Not for long though.

Just had an incredible phone call 'Hello...' *hysterical shouting and crying* 'THEY'VE TAKEN HIM YOU fanny, YOU SELFISH fanny HES GONE' 'Sloooow down, what are you talking about?' *still hysterical* 'YOU KNOW DAMN WELL WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT YOU RAT, HES GONE AND ITS ALL YOUR FAULT. WHY WOULD YOU TELL THE POLICE ABOUT THAT!? 'About wha....' 'DONT YOU DARE f**kING CUT ME OFF, DON'T YOU DARE. YOU HAVE NO PLACE TO SPEAK HERE. THEY'VE TAKEN HIM AWAY, ITS f**k ALL TO DO WITH YOU AND YOUVE STUCK YOUR NOSE IN AND RUINED OUR LIVES!' 'I think you have the wrong number love, my names Tom and I don't know who you are?' *level headed, reasonable, normal attitude* 'Oh is this not Daniel?' 'No, my names Tom, who's this?' 'Ever so sorry, I'm after Daniel (starts laughing). Good old technology ehy?' 'Yeeeah, best of luck finding Daniel, bye' Psychotic mother f**ker

I pissed GCSE's up the wall really and was just average with mostly C grades, I went to college after and did a BTEC in 3d and furniture design. That was a piss about for 2 years but steered me towards cabinet making and woodworking which is now fundamentally my living. Don't be afraid to f**k up too, you've got the rest of your life to make proper and informed decisions, enjoy being young and pretty care free really. Don't stress it too much, generally just be a decent person and as JD said immerse yourself in new activities and get out there, it'll all fall into place.

Was that with the bucket of water and spray paint technique? I really like fenders splatercasters but I can't figure out how they did it.

I like that man, looks cool as hell!

Funny that, the Five had a wash after today's ride too!

Beaut. I've decided to strip the Five this winter and go for a freshen up and paint job. Looking abit tatty despite not really riding it much!

Well it turns out specsavers got my prescription wrong, by a significant amount. I'm spectacle free!

Yes

Buy it and figure it out later. I own 12 jukeboxes now and they're all over the place haha. In-laws garage has 3, dads garage has 2, 2 in my living room, 4 in my unit and 1 at my dads business under sheets. Nobody knows about the other 3 I've got on freight from America yet either lol.

Glory hole?? Replaced all the valves in my jukebox and the sound quality has gone through the roof, volume is insane too haha. Sounds so good

Good stuff mate, glad it worked out. I've took all the screws out the body of my router and replaced with stud/wings nuts for quick services now haha.

I took the assist springs out my passat for mad lowz but needed to lift up at MOT time, as the spring would come unseated which failed. Wasn't a big problem, but if you can get the look you want with them in I'd leave them

Alright you spectacle wearing bastards, I've got to wear glasses in my old age, how do you go on with glasses when riding? Do they usually hang in there pretty well or will I be needing a shoe string around me neck?!

Contact cleaner on switch and a quick strip and clean, my woodworking tools are always doing odd stuff because of grit/sawdust and that usually always sorts them.

I was out with a mate so he's probably got me on his sodding go pro. Kudos on the slide

Stacked like a pro and ruined my shoulder/knee worth it though. Was impressed to see what damage a high speed unruly orange five can do to a forest too, took out a tree with minor scuffs on the frame hahaha.

Had the afternoon off because f**k it. It's bike time

Nope, fully intentional. Went so easy too

f**k you Danvan3000, you just made me a whole Sealey mig

About 8 years ago I put a new torch on my dads 15/20 year old sealey mig and welded everything on my mini shell no problem. I keep looking at welders for the odd job and keep swaying toward sealey for cost and serviceability.

I enjoyed it for the whole of 2 days before I ripped it apart for a full grade A resto, not many people do them as they're not a high value machine so it'll stand out when restored. Also, Margot Robbie in Wolf of Wall Street is everything.

Day 3.... Jenny still hasn't mentioned anything about me moving this into the house...
