Preparing myself for tomorrow's full service (of my D4) at the main dealer. An hour and a half's drive in both directions so that's a whole, long day.

Got meself some foam int castle so eye will use that termorra. Am wonderin if eye should put er lectric blankit oot ferrim ter keep warm. It be cold int day un night nows.
It does make you wonder how ickle birds don't freeze on the branch. Their volume to surface area ratio must be massive.
I seen a fing on telly lately where ickle birds line up on a twig an all huddle together. Nobody wants to be on the ends..
I finks bobbins is highly territorial, so not an option for them?

Because feathers are excellent at insulation.
Birds also have the ability to limit blood flow to the legs, which aren't covered in feathers.
Small birds, which are less thermally efficient than large ones, tend to huddle together for warmth in very cold weather.

Think outside, no box required.
Did a job on a ford C-Max, new injectors fuel filters and the lark..
bastard wouldn't fire, so my boss gave it a shot of brake cleaner!
***** thing ran away right past redline, blew all kinds out the exhaust, sucked the derv through though!!
It did cut out after 10 seconds of redline motoring!!
I had to peel my boss off the roof,
We both shat ourselves,
all the techs dove behind their toolboxes LOL
I tell you what though, it sounds lovely after that escapade
