Bigjeeze Posted December 3, 2006 Report Posted December 3, 2006 Well your problems are better than mine. I woke up this morning to find my green house had shed 8 sheets of glass in the high winds we had last night (must stop eating beans at night)- So I spent 3 hours trying to get it all out of the grass etc!!

El Dingo Posted December 3, 2006 Report Posted December 3, 2006 I did Galaxy DIY today. Fixing the dash-top storage boxes that just refuse to open after a while, and tidying up the Tom-Tom power supply with a neat three-way 12V socket thingy - leaving two spare sockets (plus the one in the ashtray) for mobile 'phone, Road Angel, sex toys, etc. Quote

morticiaskeeper Posted December 3, 2006 Report Posted December 3, 2006 Today Fitted new stereo in Sharan - SD card and USB keyring compatible. But still haven't got to the bottom of the ABS light. Learnt Bassline to at least 5 songs. Copied quad line kite dimensions from template into AutoCAD. Decided to veg the rest of the day. Until..... 6pm I looked at the pile of precut ripstop nylon sail cloth just waiting to be made into an inflatable lifter kite. So..... 2 hours later, exhausted after manning an industrial sewing machine :-0 I've given up for the night. Night, Night Quote

El Dingo Posted December 3, 2006 Report Posted December 3, 2006 Took the kids swimming at Coral Reef this afternoon, having slaved long and hard on the Galaxy this morning (just so we could keep T from having to change batteries, you understand). The slides are really spooky and misty in the dark! Scary stuff! :( Quote
