Catch Up

There's been very litte bloggage from me recently, this is mainly due to the fact that a while ago we bought and Xbox 360 which came with a months free Xbox live membership. I've been wasting vast amounts of time online.

Quite a lots gone on but most of it isn't really all that interesting so i'll try and sumarise things

Cars:
Well the yellow one turned out to be a bit dodgy, it had door drop and other issues. The dealership sent off the V5 before we paid so we now have that hassle to sort out. Idiots.
We found a blue one, its great, 6 months older same ish mileage. It had an adisory notice on the rear brakes so I went to get that sorted up at quickfit, nice and cheap and a lifetimes worth of pads for the price of one set (basically as they try to get you to replace all of your brake components every time you go in). Got back in the car after the above work, airbag warning light came on. Sh*t. Got the bloke out but he was having none of it.
Lots of stressing and pricing up diagnostics and replacement parts then followed until I saw sense and visited the Fiat Forum, a little time spent reading and i found something interesting
, there is a connector beneath the sear, when I picked it up the seat was in the rear foot well or near enough. A quick look and the monkey working on it had managed to wrench the seat back hard enough to dislodge the protective clips and pull out the connector. Snapped it all back together. Job Done.
The more time we spend with the new car the more certain i'm getting that the other was remapped:

* It had more go, espeically in the lower gears
* When driven steadily it did better mpg (by 10)
* It smoked more under hard acceleration

The insurance company are still faffing about.

Climbing ish Stuff:
I tried climbing the day my cast came off, it was a bad idea and hurt a lot. I tried a week later it hurt less but still enough to worry me. I can't crimp or pinch and I couldn't ever openhand so i'm screwed. I think this injury is going to be a right pain, yes its early but still my leg didn't bother me this much after it came out of the frame.

The works now have rings, I've tried to get Percy to build a box but he refuses which is annoying as you can't do a full rings workout without something to kneel on. He suggested a chair, this was very unstable when extended and with my luck I decided that wasn't a good plan.
His massive cast iron hook ring removal system is utterly crazy as well, hopefully it doesn't fall off at any point while hoisting as it will knock whoever is stood near the desk clean out.
I get more and more uncertain about the works each time something like this comes up, its becoming gimmicky, huge almost 70% useless campus board, Graffiti'd training board which isn't steep enough (its better but lets face it the people who like it usually have access to a contrasting steep as f*ck board) and now the rings...Maybe its just me?

My mate James Blay has started working for Wild Country so Nat and I took him to dQ on Friday night for the party (thanks to Vic's for the heads up as I was unaware as per usual). Saturday night came and James' new girlfriend was up so I was required to go out. It was expensive and I felt terrible on Sunday.

Well I did a rubbish job of making that short...
