.... I survived the fight with the dead bushes and brambles. Not a pleasant experience. The chainsaw chain derailed once and I had to go back home to put it all back together. The safety brake on the saw has failed (it doesn't fully release) so I had to pull the brake handle in hard with a zip-tie or the drum started smoking. Got all the stuff cut down with only minor wounds.
I am informed that this heroism need not be repeated as I have chopped it all really low and stacked it to dry and to be transported to the woods at the back of the garden another time.

Do we need to know the reward
As for being repeated I will watch intently, cos I don't believe it

I do carry a few spares such as a fan belt, a selection of nuts and bolts, various light bulbs and bits of wire and so on. Covering all the different kinds of pipes and tubes would be a little difficult, as there are so many of them. The most important spare part I carry with me is an ECU, seeing as I've had a number of these fail on me. So I can just pop the spare one in and get going again. It's also useful as a diagnostic device, as I can swap it over to see if any faults are ECU related.

I carry that stuff in a cylindrical shape like a sort of squidgy metal that you work with your fingers until uniform and which is supposed set even under water.

No Gaffer tape???!!!
I keep those to hand so I don't have to shift luggage around to be able to open both rear locker/paniers which are full of spares (LHS) and tools (RHS and Tailgate pockets!)

When I bruk the nearside indicator this April, I used insulation tape, (cubby box) spare bulb (same box) multitool, (Driver's door pocket.) Still driving around with it now except I replaced the black insulation tape with clear packing tape.
I'll get a spare once back in Blighty.

Tis a bungalow in a village just outside Lincoln. No coal mines nearby. Carrot mines maybe
. Anyroad up, I managed to chisel the concrete from around the pipe today, and got enough exposed to attempt a repair in a day or two. Also discovered a hollow area under the floor slab where the pipe comes through, looks like a bit of a bodge job done when the drainage pipe went in some years ago. So a bit of underpinning to do. I shall show the son-in-law how to do it -----

Remember to wear a hockey mask, pink shorts and a t-shirt describing a working woman in a slur form.....that I am reliably informed that standing on top of a raised flower bed and brandishing an angry chainsaw to trim the old gal's tree in the upper corner of her front garden is a perfectly safe thing to do and that I had best just get on with it today.
I have said that I will "look" at the site and I will decide whether it is safe for me to be stood up there by having the saw "dead" and seeing how unbalanced I might become wielding it. Much better that the saw is dead than I am dead I think. But that's just my opinion and no-one gives a tinker's what I think.
