My money is still on it was "the Wife" . . . . Kids can't afford these expensive batteries...or son or daughter ..its a Fathers Day gift
Same asI'm very jealous of all of these daddy's day cards & presents ..I think my son & daughter have forgotten I've spawned them ..and worse the missus hasn't reminded them !
Only one of my 3 lads remembers everything or his girlfriend does. But probably just as well 3 bottles would be greedy.I'm very jealous of all of these daddy's day cards & presents ..I think my son & daughter have forgotten I've spawned them ..and worse the missus hasn't reminded them !

How far are you into your fathers day present ???Canna figure out what that long tool is
A bit further than planned . Recognise it now just sold my one actuallyHow far are you into your fathers day present ???
It's a sordfish with a pole up it's arse ....
ok, it's a Makita long reach 18v hedge trimmer. Great for lots of first pass trail tidying (and amazing for hedges). If you have a hedge and you've not used one you'd never use a petrol one again.
You can angle the head and use it as a sort of strimmer/power sickle bar. It generally chomps through upto about 27mm I think (inch ish) Though you can use the teeth edges and saw through thicker stuff. Can't carry it on the bike though really, so it's a foot job.
I had four miles when derailleur went it wasn't that bad really. Part and parcel of Ebiking .We are all waiting for the dreaded 11 mile hike from the back of beyond which is bound to happen eventually .2 mile ride followed by a 2 mile walk back to the car due to a snapped hanger
Iβm currently cursed at present with broken bikes
At least I got to take a few pretty pictures

I was a bit shocked at how steep it had to be in deep Heather before bike would freewheel down. Will we ever learn.Yes todayβs walk was actually quite pleasant and there were a couple of descents too to freewheel down. I had a 4 mile uphill walk a couple of weeks ago when I snapped my chain on my other eeb. Kind of getting used to it now

Hmmm. The card I got from one son said 'hugs and kisses to the best daddy in the world', with a big teddy bear on the front. All very nice , but he's 37. Last card in the shop, obviously.I'm very jealous of all of these daddy's day cards & presents ..I think my son & daughter have forgotten I've spawned them ..and worse the missus hasn't reminded them !
This weekend was meant to be me full-on doing paperwork ..but but but ..when the weather is this good ( and is meant to change next week ) ..I just thought fk it ..gotta get out there !.
Early start to do a Bolts Law there and back as far as the Rookhope Road ..then packed the bike into the car and headed for a Carriers Way loop out of Blanchland ..met quite a few fellow mtb'ers which wasn't really a surprise with the conditions this good .

This is where things went a bit tits up ..one second the trail was dry & dusty but firm ..the next it was Northumberland's version of the Sahara Desert ...I tried to save it but the front end just washed out ..

A very enjoyable pootle all the same
Pics 1-4 are on the upper reaches of what's commonly known as the Bolts Law route ( follow signs for The Lead Mining Trail from Edmundbyers ) ..there is a full circular route which takes in Blanchland/ Slaley Carriers Way/ Baybridge..with a 6km slog on tarmac which I cut out yesterday and just did the best bits ..That first trail looks amazing
So, no problem deciding who your inheritance goes to then?Only one of my 3 lads remembers everything or his girlfriend does. But probably just as well 3 bottles would be greedy.
Funnily enough he was getting the Rolex but I sold it a few years ago and bought an Ebike .So, no problem deciding who your inheritance goes to then?
I like that. I am currently going "ski-ing" at every opportunity.Funnily enough he was getting the Rolex but I sold it a few years ago and bought an Ebike .

(Spending the Kids Inheritance)
They are doing well enough without me. However, the grand kids may need some help, so maybe I should cancel that round the world tour?
