Made me cross! Mine was a crappy thing thing to see if it would work, and was very surprised at how effective it was. They do weigh a ton, and some of the professional ones are huge things.

I'm still here, still going strong and all is looking good. No news on any of the cars..

Working this evening and all Saturday again...

I think I've managed to read and post both on here and the FCF every day so that's a result :D

It's still early days but this exercise regime (swimming and cross trainer) seems to be doing the business.

Sleeping better than ever Vince.That's just my natural get-up time. I do a time-shifted day. I'll be in bed by 9 most nights although not tonight as I have to work for a while around that time. I've tried to shift it to normal hours but I just can't. Whatever time I go to bed I'll still be awake at around 04:30. Son of a postman you see. A profoundly deaf one at that who used to use an enormous bell on the end of his alarm clock to wake him at 04:00 and he woke us all. It's life-long for me... He used to modify a wind-up Wesclox alarm clock to have a contact set in it that made the bell circuit at the alarm time. The bell was once a fire bell :twisted:

That's excellent Vince. Counselling is seriously good stuff... Here's to interrupted and sustained progress :D

Crikey Jim! Of course Muggins here is up extra early because he forgot the clocks go back. You've probably been up since 3.30 though!

Yep, that's right Charles :roll: My body clock will take days and days to reset now :evil: I've already baked a loaf, prepared dinners for the next few days and had a good session on the cross trainer :D

Got the cars all checked over yesterday at last despite spending most of the day at work. I was worried if I didn’t get it done yesterday it might not be possible today...

Nothing to report on the car front. They're all going well and not telling me of any issues. Long may it last...

The rest of the day will be spent resting by playing in the workshop and starting some winter projects. I have a 4HP20 gearbox to rebuild over the winter so I have a hot spare...

Other projects are on the starting blocks. I'll speak more of those in due course...

I was impressed to see my two Windows Phone properly adjusted themselves Paul :D

That's just one of several ;)

Paul, can you send a duff injector or two along with the pump? I'm keen to look at them and see if they are fixable or what goes wrong with them...
