Just took delivery of my new (to me) tent. It weighs a ton. Can only just lift the bag with the canvas in. Tis a proper Dutch canvas tent. Walk in height 2m, peak height 2.35m. Will have to put it up at the weekend.

Morning All. :D
Herself has gone for the paper. :)
She's very depressed ATM because the other 2 executors are doing nothing to progress the probate and are just tossing hand grenades in at every opportunity. She wants to ditch being an executor. I told her to tell them to shape up or ship out. Remind them that a professional probate chaser charges 5-10% of the estates value and that's what will happen if they don't pull their collective fingers out.
On another note, the nasty BIL is in a mess, is suffering from depression on the loss of his Mummy and can't cope with life (he says). I have found a way to get the money he took from the estate back and equally shared I think.
Anyway, all is good with me, usual aches & pains are in evidence but I ignore them. :)
Have a great day! :D

Oh dear, sorry about this.
It sounds as if the other two executors, whoever they are, are behaving like this on purpose to try and get her to chcuk her towel in.
And once that happens they'll try and fiddle things so they get what they want for themselves and theirs and do her and hers out of stuff.
What she could do is to stop working on it too, so that it doesn't progress at all, then maybe they'll get the message.
Sorry, can't sympathise with nasty BIL.
Very pleased you have found a way to get back the dosh he took, maybe that's why he's depressed!
Have a great day yourself!:):)

I'd advise a chiropractor, seeing as I once had shoulder pain. Went to three GPs who each gave me a different diagnosis and a different advised course of treatment. Being a doctor's son I knew that none of them had a clue.
Was then recommended a chiropractor by a colleague.

He took a PROPER history, worked out it may have been due to whiplash in a car accident a while back. Proved to me which vertebra it was that was out of place. Put it back in, pain gone never to return.

Then had similar a year or two back, similar symptoms, only in the elbow this time, similar diagnosis, similar treatment, again gone and never come back.
I know it costs a bit but to me worth every penny.

I shall be going to a country show/mini show at Hedingham Castle on Sunday. :D
My sister who only this week asked to come and stay for the weekend so I cancelled my attendance at the show has now called to say she got all her dates all wrong and now cannot make it. So Cinderella shall go to the ball. :D

It does look lovely!
I'm a wee bit jealous as I never took mine to a show although I/we was/were always taking our kit cars to shows.
Every time I see one like yours it make me want to get another one. I then have to give myself a severe talking-to!!:):):)
 
...that like the Chinese said about the success of the French revolution on its 200th anniversary "It is maybe too early to tell"; but, since advancing the timing slightly and changing the 20w oil for 30w oil in the dashpot the mini has not had a repeat of the intake-side pre-detonation. I am hopeful however that we have managed to eradicate the issue. :)

Should have pointed out that each time the dodgy vertebra was in my neck.

I must admit that if it had been me I would maybe have done both of these but I would have done them one at a time to see which had the effect.
Predetonation I would have imagined coming from the timing being slightly too advanced, yet you have advanced the timing but you have done that and it has gone away.:vb-confused2:
It also used to happen when cars first started using lead-free petrol, to the point that a backfire exploded W's BX's front box!
So I retarded it by much more than was originally thought it ought to be. (Later figures given out showed the earlier ones to have been too conservative.) So what fuel are you using?
Changing the dashpot oil would affect it on acceleration and if that is when it used to happen then you would be momentarily making the mix richer than before which I think would also stop it preigniting, but I am not sure on this.

Have you tried the old skool way of measuring the power of your engine under road conditions?
i.e. getting someone to time with a stop watch how long it takes to accelerate from one speed to another while remaining in top gear??

This used to be in all the old skool Haynes Manuals. And not changing gear makes that not a factor. Say from 30 mph to 60?

Done a few times, either on the flat or up a hill, if you can, starting always from the same point?
