Just one of those days

You know how it feels, when you've run around all day and you're still left feeling you've not actually achieved anything - today was one of those days.

Ian and I went and explored Hypose in Portsmouth the other day, it's such a good job I didn't know about it sooner - so much stuff. Most of it useless of course - until you need it, and there's my point, knowing the stuff is out there to solve ya problem.

I needed a length of hose and 2 tyre inflator fittings - I have a plan see. It's actually an idea passed on by a Camel Trophy winner - so it must be good. Anyway, only one fitting but "we can order them in, tomorrow or the day after". Today was the day after the day after so I felt safe popping back down in to Pompey.

"They've not come in" - no I'm sure they'll be here Friday/whenever. Buggar!
But hey, other things on the list for today. Jumped back into Kermit, Max waiting patiently as ever - text message, Dan Wallace "What you doing driving past my office window?". Tried to arrange lunch but it was now 12 and he can't do lunch until 12.30 - he's just not worth waiting for. xx

Drive up to Waterlooville, Halfrauds, pick up some polish and wax. I aint waxed a car since I had to to earn my pocket money and I resent paying for the stuff now. Martin will some how pay for all this torment.

Then onto the fabricators. They're rebuilding the roof rack but that not why I'm here. We've discovered a flaw in the tent pole design and wanted to strengthen the weak point. Last week Colin (man in charge) and I discussed what best could be done and he kindly ordered me some steel tubing, today however it turns out the supplier has sent the wrong stuff. Buggar.

Ian comes over - shock horror - after breakfast has finished being served, and kindly follows me over to West 4x4 in Humph so that I can drop Jason off to have the A frame and Diff looked at, then he drives us both (and Max) back.

It's now nearly 4pm, time for a nap - a nap is always called for when things don't go to plan - either that or hide under a tree for 5 minutes, either works.

Tomorrow: Find alternative steel. Add to list. Tick off list. Walk the dog. borrow a credit card.
