2019Feb28 – That was the Month that was

Uncategorized 6 Comments

Moved out to see the Cutty Sark, in Greenwich.
Also saw His Lord Collingwood,

at the old naval museum. A well known figure from the old British Navy, especially if you knew this song. Oh happy Friday evenings 😉

Stayed at Deptford Bridge.

Tuesday, ate an excellent lunch, not too far, at the Golden Cafe……

Mixed grill consisted of chicken breasts, lamb “burgers”, spicy rice, salad, and pita. Plus a mug of tea. Rice was a tad bland, but everything else was excellent.
Order this ONLY if you are very hungry. There is a great deal of food.
Reasonable price too 🙂

.
Wednesday meant brunch at a Post Office just outside a railway station. Now that is a first 🙂
Was travelling back to Pat’s to pickup the bike. Time to see how long the motorcycle coolant lasts. Which is where I started this month. Hence the title on this blog.

Took just an hour for a first parade, and to organize my gear on the bike. Then rode off south-west-ish, on a sunny, 19degC day.
Filled up the bike after some 40mins, and gave it some TLC. Decided to re-visit Tyrrells Ford.
Upon my arrival, re-checked the bike. All looking good.
Couple of snakebites (50:50 real ale and real cider), and an excellent game pie, set the world to rights.

.
Thursday morning I started moving the TomTom holder to make it easier to check/fill the coolant expansion tank. Which is when I noticed that the plastic pieces were not aligned 100%. Something was broken. That explains the wobble that I noticed yesterday, looking at the gps screen.
Back in my room, the new screwdriver was perfect for the job.
Ten tiny screws, seven small springs, and four larger screws later, I was able to super-glue the small broken part. And hopefully the cracks.
Taking it apart was easy. Putting it back together…….hahaha. And it had to be done at least twice. Nice little project.

.
Friday off to Barry’s.
Need to rescue my kettle. He’s holding it ransom 😉

Aha! Superglue! Did You fix the Owl?
(I only noticed last week.)

biker says:

Guilty as charged 🙂

ps: never leave home without superglue. Not only does it fix plastics, but good for first-aid (as per Wikipedia, the UK gov recommends using the 2-octyl cyanoacrylate glue)

pps: things I never knew. LePage glue was a Canadian company.Bought out by a German company, Henkel, in 1995

June says:

Well, thank you so much!
You do a good job. ☆☆☆

biker says:

No!
Thank you!!!

Richard says:

I prefer Gorilla Glue or Gorilla super glue. Waaaay better that Super glue. Hahaha just be careful with your fingers getting glued.

biker says:

True.
And more than fingers to worry about!
