The good morning thread

[CatmanV2]

Good morning all. Not a great day
Yesterday as we got called to the hospital for Liz’s Dad as he has a tumour and prostate cancer and they said next 24 will be critical. Still with us but not sure how long.

Sorry to hear that, Andy. Thoughts are with you all. Shout if we can help

Morning all and second that Andy.
A day of getting my Spanish Jaguar into the French system it was a piece of cake with the Fiat from Belgium so hopefully the same.
Take care everyone.

Sorry to hear your news Andy - always a difficult time.
Over in Italy it is another sunny morning but we are leaving the Dolomites and heading west and will check out a couple of lakes - Caldaro and Santa Giustina and a couple of passes - Mendel and Gampenjoch where there is, if my memory is correct, a museum of sorts regarding WW1 activity

Morning all, placed a rush order on Tuesday evening for some thermal markings on a time critical job. Meant to be here today. As far as I can tell, they have still not dispatched them! Why do that?

Kensington this morning and then back to the local site later.


Have fun all…

Morning, all...gonna try and WFH. But.

So sorry about your news, Andy; hope it works out for the best for all concerned. Seems to be a spate of the C word, of late...

What a day to be driving around West London; a BINGO day for sure.


Very happy to report that the 'Free the nipple' campaign is becoming more prominent! I love a movement I can fully support and totally get behind!

Good morning all, no change at the hospital. Early 07:30 hair cut for me and Alex and if the sun stays out (although it is peeing down at the moment) it will be BBQ me thinks.

 

[CatmanV2]

Morning, mob. No news is good news @Andyk ?

Berlin walking tour this morning. Breakfast first.

Have a good one, all

Good morning from a beautiful spot roughly half way between Bolzano and Trento. It's off to the Stelvio National Park (just visible with its snow capped peaks) for three nights just outside Bormio via the Tonale Pass - being a weekend it could be busy and lets hope the motorcyclist are more sensible than last weekends lot when we saw two incidents that required ambulances (tho' I'm surprised there weren't more)

Good morning all.

A very Maserati-oriented day yesterday, and great to have suspension again after about 5 months!

Visit to SportsItalia to have the new suspension ECU (£1,000) fitted. Classic Maserati story, blocked sunroof drains cause water to puddle in the footwell, killing the ECU that is (absurdly) placed there. New ECU does not seem to work, and we fear a wiring problem, but then @conaero finds that as it died, the ECU blew a fuse, and once that was replaced, the new ECU came alive and the suspension is all working again. So bad design causes a problem, and the fix, as always, involves a £1,000 part, plus a 50p part, plus some inspiration.



Then off to Swindon to collect the Trident wheels that @Candle1966 has been selling for a while. Good to have those to put new summer tyres on soon! Dragging them down 4 flights of stairs nearly killed Dave and me, but we got it done.

Progress!

A day of emptying the house ready for the builders to start the major works so everything off into the workshop and it's going to be warm.
Have a Great weekend all.

Good morning everyone, great day today. My mum's 90th and still going strong. Big party later but shhh it's a secret.

Going to the tip shortly and then for coffee. Later this afternoon we are heading into the West End for an early dinner and then to see Grease the Musical After my 5 day Cotswold trip followed by a week in the LeMans trip I need to sacrifice myself and build up some brownie points.

Morning all, start of the house preps for the move, still not decided it it is sell or rent yet so doing works that will benefit either option. Removing a tree house and visiting Howdens to find a kitchen seem to be the order of the day!

Have fun all…

Morning, I’m trying to summon the motivation to go for a cycle this morning, all the more difficult when you’re alone.

 

[zagatoes30]

Morning all, absolutely pi55ing down here so looks like the Irish summer is over. A bit of a bugger as it's the local car show tomorrow and I was hoping to get the SZ cleaned and polished so will have to see how it goes.

They have a coffee shop at your tip, that is posh.

Morning, slow start as still recovering from LM.

Then tonight, round a mate Jules’s house for a birthday bbq (red Porsche for those whom went to LM).

LM, burgers after burgers, Tuesday BbQ round Adam’s….more burgers, went to pub with Mrs Conaero…burger looks nice???, now Jules’s tonight. I think I’ll be giving it a rest next week.

Have a good one all!

Well after many years of putting it off, I have finally given in and a new kitchen is on its way. Just a shame we will be moving soon so won’t get to use it…. Sh!ts getting real quickly!
