    For this car, even if we had rains, it’s not worth the chance. A few did end up in the wall..
    Still processing the whole weekend….

    When we loaded the car we found the left rear body pivot had broken.
    So something to fix and check the car over for Tamworth in two weeks.

    Morning.
    This thread is slowwwwwwwww lately.
    Either people are busy, or are having extended bedtime.

    Going to take a few hours and put the repaired broken hinge back on the Elva.
    Clean and inspect the chassis.
    I really should have bought a tig machine years ago but I don’t deal with aluminum very much.

    Will nut and bolt it and then start to assemble later in the week.

    Weather fuckin sucks.
    Fishing and bike riding seem to be a long lost memory…

    Busy here, long work days and long days keeping the dog occupied while getting household "honey do" stuff done. Next up is opening the washing machine and giving it a deep cleaning.

    I did get some gardening done for the first time in my life. Came out okay I think. I need to work on cleaning up the edges and possibly re setting the pavers around the edge of the mulch.

    "How to win a race" keep your foot on the gas until you shit your pants, don't touch the brake until you smell it.
