Right, thats it….last call yesterday and first call at 7.30 this morning. Both WM bearing changes and both with the front bearing collapsed so a bit of hard graft involved. 🙂
Its just soooooooooo hot that I was absolutely pouring with sweat both times, couldn’t keep hold of my tools. 😉
Back out on the road now in my best ‘Roly 16’ attire. At least my pins are nicely tanned from my recent holiday, any grease marks wont show up as much. 😆
Jim.
Re: Roly 16 Mk II

09:15 fire up the wagon and head to first call.
09:20 Elderly biddy hadn’t a clue why she couldn’t get her Hoover AE130 to start?
09:20 Switched it on at the wall for her!
09:45 Arrive at my 2nd (last) call of the day (Hoover W/D sump hose clogged with 50p coin.
10:30 Back home, sweat pouring from various regions, work gear off, swimming trunks on and leap into the pool.
11:00 Suitably refreshed decide I must at least water the hanging baskets lest they wilt and wither.
12:00 Sweet mother of heaven it’s too bloody hot out here, another quick dip then indoors to set up the TV room ready for the tennis @ 13:00
12:15 quick scan of my emails and a whistle stop to UKW…nothing doing.

Re: Roly 16 Mk II

You would be if you had been with me for the past hour.
Just got back from my thrice weekly game of squash. Over 80°F on court and no aircon. That little double yellow dot would not die. 😀
Still,I am having Friday & Saturday off, coming darn sarf, to Woking, Surrey to be exact.
A bit embarrassing really, going to my younger brothers 60th birthday on the 4th of July. 😥 8)

Sadly the September meeting may coincide with my fourth cruise in the last 13 months, can’t make my mind up if this cruising lark is really for me. 😆
Off on RCCL’s Independence of the Seas again round the Med. 8)
Just found out that NCL’s new ship has a squash court on board, I think I may have to have a bit of that. 😀
Sailor Jim.

I presume you’ll be wearing ‘roly16 attire’ as you call it on that ship though?
Fourth cruise in 13 months? Obviously been selling a lot of ISE machines recently Jim 😆
