I feel I lack the genius to post on this thread but after forgetting to put the filler cap back on this weekend I needed to keep some oil in the handler

The Mrs “these rack things are sh1t“
It would seem she's turned the bike into some sort of colour coded recycling chariot. View attachment 764710 her overuse of new cable ties will be the ruin of me and to make matters worse I've gone and broke every size spanner in the set View attachment 764624

This one has done more since it was welded than before it broke.

I had a similar problem a while back forgetting to put the fuel cap back on. After careful consideration father decided to treat me to a new colour coded one [emoji6]

Here's my workshop floor.

now it's a battle to get some grey stuff down before I fill it up again.

If the workshop floor is clean then there isn't enough bodgineering going on

 

[organicguy]

Don't you just love a tidy place to work in?

Wouldn't want to walk through there in the dark.

Very effective thief deterrent!
You should see mine!

I find if the floors a mess when I blow a big hold in something with the welder there’s always half an old bolt of bit of metal near by to weld in but when the floor is clear you have to go looking. Or god for bid use a bit of new steel.

That workshop looks fine to me, considering.
I'd come and tidy up for you but you'd never find anything for years.

Got 2 little girls under 6 and the eldest loves to help.
Unfortunately my wife had breast cancer with a fairly big op before Christmas and has been recovering from that (well thankfully) so some things have fallen by the wayside a little

I struggle sometimes now to find things. It does help keep the old man at bay though

Damn the workshop, I just hope your wife's doing OK, that's far more important.
