I think if your insurance is incumbent on you having a tracker, you need to check the tracker is on. That's a hard one to fight.

Despite (mounjaro induced) 15kg weight loss, my PB hasn't really shifted from high 27s, although my "normal" run time (i.e. when I am not trying as hard and there is a bit of uphill) has come down to about 29.

Rowing is doing better and I can maintain a continuous 2:15 split over 20 minutes ...

Claiming it was incumbent on the dealer to activate his tracker seems like a bit of a long shot... I can understand why the insurers reneged if he declared the vehicle as having a tracker when it didn't.

I purchased a black Friday jetwasher and snow foamer.
I thought you chaps would like to see this exerpt from the snow foamer instruction manual.

Ooh we have one of those Marylins hanging up in college... I wonder how much that is worth.

The buses are all named by Cambridge primary school children. This morning I was on board The Peregreen Falcon.

Has to be the right spec.

Interior colour is another matter.

What.

New tyres and wheel alignment for the Tesla.

The alignment as the fronts had both worn heavily on the inside edge and it was suggested by the MOT dude (who I think was American, maybe one of those lads who came over to work at the USAF base and wound up staying, I didn't get chance to ask him sadly ...

I really like the look of it and the idea of ...

I'm on Doom Dark ages now. Love that it is just shooty fun and no silly platforming. Don't like the mech pilot / dragon rider sub games.

MOT for the Tesla. Front tyres (over 2 years old) worn on the insides, only advisory. Will book in for some new tyres and wheel alignment check.

I knew people would want to see. Unfortunately I don't have many, mostly of the forecourt being broken up with this building in the background.
