Of course a real tester should follow up this 1st step. How bright the headlamps?

Thank you gents.
Will try get to it today.
Not even started or driven the Blazer in 5 weeks.
Where does the time go to?
Been busy though, loads of random stuff that needed doing for the day job, year end performance reviews etc. So no time for toys or playing.
Also last Saturday over at @CraigRK to hang around and generally get under his feet while we sorted out his 17 year old sons first car, a 50k Miles VW Polo 1.0 liter in 3 door form.
Basically belts, fluids, plugs, brakes and anything else that could be done for a 60k mile service and the rest, in order to set him up with a reliable car, bought, insured and service paid for with the money from the sale of his 50cc motorbike. Way to go Kyle !! Craig gave him a spare 125cc from his stash to use now.
It needs a full size spare wheel as it is missing it, a seat release knob for passenger side and a few other tiny cosmetic bits.
And of course some free alloys, pity I gave the set I had stashed, away two years ago.
Hopefully a thread will follow soon from Craig or Kyle.
Need to complete the pallet disassembly and cutting up for fire wood, though not had a fire this year......
Then clean out Prozac on the inside and get onto the Blazer some time today, inbetween I need to do some shopping as well..
Had a lovely dinner date last night with a lady who lives 2.3 miles up the road. Random? Yes, it is, however.....
When a girl sends you pics like this.
Surely she understands.
Yesterday I collected a small parcel from the postal depot and when I got home, it had a note inside.
For those who do not know, I met Bret in Austin, Texas on my first trip to America and our friendship has continued to both grow and develop.
Some Hotwheels, all the way from the USA to add to my collection of random stuff I love, he previously gave me some others too.
And possibly my faves, the Toaster and Wheely chair.
Right, need to get outside and get started, the fog is lifting and it may be a nice day.
Later.
