Another Truck Update.    1 Medi 2016

As always, more details are in the HMVF thread, as that's where I'm detailing the blow-by-blow. ### Water pump Water-pump rebuild went fairly well, aside from breaking the shrunk-on hub that the V-belt pulley and fan bolted to; took the remains to the

Keep On Truckin'   24 Mawrth 2016

Update on the truck project. The big yella hulk runs, and drives; not very far, or for very long, because of having no radiator... but there's movement. Also, I passed my LGV hazard-perception. Whoo, go me! ## Truck

Truck truck truck truck!   22 Chwefror 2016

Decided to continue my trend of buying motor vehicles with little to no inspection whatsoever, I thought I'd go one better. So I bought something I've been daydreaming about owning for years.

June update    6 Mehefin 2015

Update for June 2015, summary: I'm still alive, still employed, still have my green skud. I'm still chugging along, one exhausting day after another. Not really got enough left in me, these days, to play about with programming like I used to; which is pretty crappy. It's kinda difficult to put in the energy to tackle even simple problems, when getting back and just wanting to pass out.
