In the dog house...

A quick update..... I can't get the wheel inthe dishwasher... I just measured

take the top rack out and stick it on on the diagonal.


not been whinged at for anything bike related....... but there is a small bullet hole in the ceiling of the spare room that she aint too chuffed about. :!:

I'm impressed!.....that surely requires further explanation!...

never take a picture of your bike when its in the living room...your wife is apt to notice said picture and spends the rest of the week reminding you that its not supposed to be there...in a not so nice way..

what you need to do is pull out the top shelf then unclip / unscrew any fittings...... oh you weren't talking about the rack!

lets just say i was in the process of doing a spot of 'wildlife management' from the spare room window (bunny was sat about 90 yards out) and i'd lightened the trigger on my new match rifle a bit too much causing an accidental discharge when it slam fired as the bolt closed. completely my fault and i should have known better...... its just the bunnies had been making a big mess of the plants in the field and it starts costing quite a lot of money if peter, flopsy & co. are not given a swift dose of my own particular brand of 'high velocity lead poisoning'. it is extremely effective!

:twisted:

I did try and say it was for my grips but she does definitely think I'm a crossdresser......

Perhaps the A-line skirt and 6" heels gave it away?

Clear nail varnish is good for covering over paint chips

Doesn't matter, the Zaskar lives in the dining room !
Since the shed is too full / has a leaky roof / isn't secure enough for my
precious.

Did buy a cheap hairdryer for my toolkit after the missus got
fed up with me using hers for removing sticker or drying bits.

The wife was less than impressed to come home on Monday and find me disassembling a very greasy XT Rear Mech on her nice oak dining room table.

I shall not live that one down for a while, at any rate.

What you need to do is go and buy her a big bunch of lillies as an apology and get her to place on the same table. The ulterior motive - when they wilt and drop, the pollen will stain the table and pretty much everything else so she will no longer blame you. Then YOU step into the rescue with tomato juice/sauce which does in fact apparently remove the stain. Result no more complaints about you and your mess...
