Series 2 body on 110 chassis with Disco V8/auto.

It's the first time I've had level concrete to adjust the mower deck!

Normally lives in its own shed!

 

Going to install a pair of Series tanks under the seat box.

The drivers side one is long range and will need to be chopped to fit in the Defender chassis.

 

Cheers

Dave

I don't know what I'm more jealous of, the shed or the temperature....

 

Believe me, 30C gets old very fast.

We were 25C at 7.30 this morning with 36 forecast and I'm dreading it.

It's ok if you are solar powered

I find 5c gets old even faster especially with the rain so make the most of it ...😂

It does.  It’s easy to warm up a cold workshop or put on a good coat in cold weather, but much harder to deal with high temperatures, especially with high humidity.  We get 100m fog in 40-45 degC here, and summer peaks can exceed 50 deg with humidity well into the 90percent range - it’s like a blast furnace and your glasses or sunglasses fog instantly the moment you go outside!

I work in Gabon, and we can hit the low 40s with humidity where I walk outside and can feel droplets forming on my skin in less than a minute.

After 15 minutes outside I'm soaked from midriff to above my knees. It's bloody horrible at times.

No...

Apparently I over worked my new hip doing the shed...

Surgeon was cranky, said I have to take it very easy for 6 months.

Most of his patients are proper old farts and just watch TV or a fish tank for a year after surgery....

I'm ok ish, just pain every step, and kneeling/bending is s**t. (now more pain than before the operation)

No painkillers (apparently, they are addictive...)

I will get back into it soon, just very aware that I get zero sympathy from wifey if I f**k it up again... (or the doctor...)

Cheers

Dave

At least it's nice to have it medically confirmed that you're not an old fart just yet :lol:
