I try to take one day at a time, however sometimes several days catch up with me at once.

Good buy Eric, My old Bri Tool 1/2 inch cost me nearly 2 weeks wages, around 40 yrs ago, over $400. Other hand, got a Mechpro 3/8, direct copy of Kingchrome, both made same country, $45 instead of around $130. My little 1/4 have had since mid 70s, no idea of cost,deflecting beam, Warren &Brown, now just over $200. Had to buy as we did Auto Trans work back then.

Metalgear rear disc that I will chuck on when I put the new rear tyre on, going by how good the fronts feel compared to OEM it should be a good improvement

T 24

Esab inverter welder 130A (rod), for smaller jobs ( my Kemppi 2200 masrertig is a bit heavy)

Would love a W&B deflecting beam, better hang onto that one  top quality gear.

I bought yet another knife to add to my collection of "sharp pointy things". Its a Spyderco Grasshopper and it's VERY sharp :imrgreen:

Went to Halfords to spend my gift vouchers I received last xmas from my works, I bought a pair of axle stands, contact cleaner, chain brush and de-greaser , extendable valve hose, E-Zee brake and clutch bleed kit, (one man operation), a pair of 's' hooks (to hang calipers from), helmet and visor cleaning kit. I think that's everything.

My new visor arrived today also a bleed nipple adaptor as the one on my bleed kit is a fraction too big and won't seal. A pic is up of my old visor hopefully you can see the damage I stupidly caused when I brushed it against the wall at home. The new visor is attached with the pinlock re-used(@Hooli :onya:).

Bought and installed. My house central heating only needs to be turned on in the evening and about an hour early morning, so if it's nippy during the day in the shed it is nice and warm.

An ABBA Sky Lift with adapters for the GSX :clapping:

Yesterday(sat)  I ordered off amazon a 25-220nm,1/2"drive torque wrench  and a 36 mm chrome socket, they came just 10 minutes ago (sun). So now I have the set a 1/4"-3/8"-1/2" :grin:

More concrete for my project. I should have gone for a cheaper grey broom finish as my funds are rapidly diminishing but I'd booked coloured stone / exposed aggregate a while back.

It was the 3rd and smallest pour of the 4 I planned.

#House slab.
#Shed slab.
#A little 6m area and footpath on the front of the house build (today).
#The 4th will be a 13.5m x 11m area outside my sheds.

I bought to block a while back but it's been over 10 months since we started earthworks and building.  I don't regret it but I'll be happy to spend more time with bikes and less with builders and tradies.
