Amazing what you come across when tidying your garage. This was used as a very important ‘repair’ part for a long weekend once. Whilst it seems like a jumbled mess of wires to most, it’s a lot of great memories for a few.

We are sorting out of all our old mobile phones from the last 25+ years. I have to say Blackberry were my favourite. Great for emails arriving quickly all the time, easy to type from but not so good for apps. Wonder who else loved them as much as me and ⁦Jonny Smith⁩ did?

Wow, I’ve even still got a working pager which I used back around early to mid 90’s. I’ve even still got the pack of small cards you got with the pager to give to people so they had your pager number. I’m loving these old communication stuff we’ve used over the years.

I’ve obviously had a thing for a flip front mobile phone & also had a need for a real tactile keypad at some point. I was always a Nokia phone mans until, as I mentioned before, I crossed to the darkside and went to Blackberry.

It’s been a busy time in lockdown doing the jobs I’ve not been able to get round to. One was moving my beehives to a permanent location & onto much higher hive stands ( my back will thank me ). When I opened them after the trailer ride they did let me known they were pissed!

I’m not sure my latest social distancing device for quad bikes and other road going vehicles will take off. Joking apart these are my new taller beehive stands after building them at home and just before popping to field to assemble them and concrete them in the ground. Success!

Remember the iconic Cog advert in 2003? Well, Honda UK challenged me to recreate my own homage. Read the blog and watch my video attempt here. I'm not going to lie, it nearly broke my little brain: hondaengineroom.co.uk/cog/

Today has been taken up by Alison Farrow & I tearing down our gym equipment so we can move it into a room in our house. So far the rowing machine and crosswalker have been moved & assembles. Thankfully Alison kept all the manuals from when the company assembled them here.

Today’s gym equipment dismantling project. Gulp, there is lots of nuts, bolts,metal, pulleys and cables to figure out when I come to put it back together after the move!

The UK government has recognised they should help support businesses told to legally shut (Covid) by paying 2/3rd of staff wages, but what about the huge infrastructure of suppliers, many outside the region, that rely on sales to those closed businesses who get no help & suffer?

Just contacted Venue Cymru for my refund for 4 Max Boyce MBE tickets & told I don’t get all my £132, only £120 as they are holding the booking fee, which 100% goes to them to cover their costs. Venue Cymru are getting paid vastly as a nightingale hospital yet we are out of pocket!

I’m very sad to hear that Sean Connery has just passed away. I grew up in the 70’s when going to the cinema to see the latest Bond Film was a very, very special occasion shared with my father Brian, who was a Bond fan all the way. I have very fond memories of those times.

It’s such a shame to hear that the National Motorbike Museum has had it’s museum funding application refused. There must be many more motoring museums feeling the same pinch & lack of support - this will be devastating for our future generations. visordown.com/news/general/n…

Just seen a tv advert for Celebrity Crystal maze and thought of you two after fond flashbacks of our great effort. Just need to dust down our long necked air bass guitars and the memory will be completely. Jonny Smith Richard Porter

Started doing research on engine & gearbox options for my air cooled Beetle. Whilst I’ve owned air cooled VW’s for more years than I like to remember, the engines and gearboxes & current best builders of them has slipped me by. In my day it was Stateside /John Maher, but who now?

It’s been a busy few weeks what with work, home life and motorbikes so I’m having a evening at home and chillaxing before it starts all over again tomorrow. I might even go and venture in to the garage to see how messy it really is if I can get motivated enough.
