;Incontinentia Buttocks". on the passenger side on the back and "Biggus Dickus" on the drivers side. All the names for winnie have been men's names. Need caricatures. :lol:

Today, I did a long and complex mapping of the inside of my eyelids .... I'm guess it is a side effect of the shots I had on Wednesday ..... but it might just be too many birthdays disease .....
Usually the afternoon nap waits till the afternoon, today, I woke up tired and it went down hill from there. By lunch time, just need a lie down for a bit, woke up 6 hrs later ... I feel less tired, but that's about it ..... I did finish cutting the steel for the second piece that makes up the body frame around the steps and got two sets of 1 long and one short piece welded together .... but that was it .... light faded and so did I ... hopefully these side effects will be out of the system by tomorrow and I can at least finish this door frame ......

That is very private and personal but if you insist I may be able to show you at Taggerty if the weather is not too cold. View :roll: at your own risk of blindness.

Steps are fitted and functioning, but still only manual operation at the moment

Replacement support frame made for steps and trial fitted, now making metal bracket plates to screw RV type inlet and outlet type power point fittings
Stainless sheet cut and tack welded for the backing of one side, cut but not yet fitted for the other side, holes still to be made to suit cabling to RV style outside power points
Outside fibreglass panels being formed from existing material removed from old frame work.

Fans still work, haven't fitted gauge switch yet

Wheels are removed, that is as far as the kingpin job has progressed

Number plate light replacements have arrived .... although, the original number plate light was passed every inspection since 2003 :twisted:

Replacement clearance lights have arrived, yet to be installed

Haven't removed front seats and two stages of engine covers to verify there is no LPG leak at the converter :twisted:

Yet to find any steering play to rectify any excess movement beyond manufacturers specifications

Too many things happening at the same time, excessively hot days, trying to get appointments to fit a schedules with the house builder, doctors appointment for each of us .... and being an old bloke, are all adding to the delays .....
