Today is Kelli’s birthday, usually a good day but she had a bad night which took the gloss off. We had a small party planned for the afternoon, which was in jeopardy. Gradually she settled and calmed down, we both made her cake, a carrot cake using a collection of alternative ingredients.
The party was fun and I was glad that it happened, you can’t hang on to a bad night all day that achieves nothing.
It was a beautiful sunny, warm Easter Sunday and to celebrate, I decided to wash the truck.
Shock, horror, I have been meaning to do it for ages, I had forgotten what the true colour of the vehicle was.
Earlier I had to change one of the front wheels that had a slow puncture. Normally it is a simple job, but it was difficult to undo the wheel nuts. I had to use a three foot extension and WD40 to loosen them. Once those were taken off I still couldn’t remove the wheel, it seemed jammed onto the hub spigot.
I was banging it with a large rubber mallet, eventually releasing it.
I noticed that both tyre had wear on the inside surface meaning the tracking is out, this needs to be sorted out.
