The good morning thread

Scaf · Dec 29, 2021

Back to work today but using the time to get organised and do some planning for the next few months.
Early evening I am volunteering at the vaccine centre helping with the booster effort.
Enjoy your days

Do be careful, Crud

I'm thinking an Italian tune-up or a battery reset. Maybe disconnect everything, a couple of caffe corretos, reconnect and see what happens.

Perhaps spray some 'Start Ya *******' in there?

Oh, starting isn't the issue. It just can't hold steady revs and sometimes hunts a bit. I'm pretty sure that a re-map might be useful. But not a DBW kit.

A very good early morning to all. Have an early morning brief to give the colleagues in a Ebbw Vale this morning and it has to be done before the drivers go out on their runs so an early trip into the valleys.

Good Morning Andy and everyone,

Crud, have they put you on the dyno? A test of the Oil isn't going to reveal much way after the event. I had, what sounds to be, a similar issue in Dec 2020. Throttle was stuck open but it calmed down when I got to the garage (Crawley A&E, driven there by the world's slowest driver!), the head mechanic said that next time go to East Surrey as they have better facilities...yeah Thanks Doc! SO far no issues...

An Italian Tune up would also consist of an overnight stay with TWO 19 year olds 'nurses' from Naples...

CatmanV2 · Dec 30, 2021

Morning, all. WFH today. Nothing else.

Have a great one

Morning all, on the M11 nearly at Cambridge on our way to Middlesbrough with Jeanette in the driving seat. Having a look at the house Christine is buying in Ormsby and then meeting the BF’s family (getting serious). We are then escaping till the New Year in Yorkshire. No’s 3&5 are in charge at home where we seem to have a small mouse problem! Cat caught another before we left so they are confirmed.

Have fun all…

Let the cats have the run of it and the problem should be small. Worked for us, anyway. It was the rats that needed rather more assertive techniques....

Good morning everyone.
Got the Moderna booster late yesterday afternoon and both of us not feeling great so today won't amount to much.
Stay Safe all.

zagatoes30 · Dec 30, 2021

Morning all, Phil we had Moderna booster just before Christmas made both our arms ache for a day or so but after that was fine.

Last day off and new boiler being fitted, expensive Christmas but was always planned to be replaced as part of the garage build so just brings the cost forward.

A brief run on the dyno revealed nothing. Same old story - the mechanic can seldom reproduce the irregular fault. Apparently something plugged into the OBD port can record more data over a longer period, so I need to get booked in for that.

As for two nurses from Naples, they’d almost certainly be related to Zep. Would asking for a discount lead to a horse’s head in the bed instead of those two understating nurses?

I had a datalogger plugged in for 24 hours, they couldn't find anything...

As for the Horse's head..best avoided... usually followed by sleeping with the fishes...

I’ve not slept with a fish before. Dem probably has. I’ll ask him.

If I am related to every nurse in Naples that would be impressive! A point of order, if you want a horses head in your bed, you’ll have to bring your own horse, as they are quite tricky to get hold of on short notice, I’m told.

Probably put them places you shouldn't too.

Make sure they connect it to the right port. Schoolboy error, but it makes your eyes water, apparently....

Sodding mice! Sweet though they are, they’re messy and destructive little buggers. Best caught by the cat, in my humble. Poison them and they hide somewhere to die and stink.
