27/5/16 Not so exciting

  Overcast skies and a few drips of rain greeted us this morning . After deliberating and wondering what to do for the day , we finally decided to check the wheel bearings and clean the van . Not overly exciting you might think - it got exciting though !!
  After going down the street to get some new split pins , I checked the nearside ones first . The split pins I got were too big , so I went back down the street to get some smaller ones .
  Back again , all things were going great , the bearings were in great shape , and only one needed to be tightened slightly !! Job done .
  Then the fun started , we checked the tyres . They were a little worn on the inside edge when we inspected them at christmas time when the bearings were changed , so we rotated front to back and back to front ,  only the back tyres had worn , and were now on the front . There was a slight problem with them now - the side that was wearing before , had now worn a lot more - removing evidence of grooves & tread on the inside edge of the tyre . Fortunately there was no canvas showing , but couldn't have been too far away - very glad we checked today though !!! Now we have these little puppies on board !! All 4 of them .


  Now that the wallet is a bit lighter , here are some shots of yesterdays and todays sunset for free !!





 Now we have some appropriate tyres , correct pressures , and some piece of mind !!
That's our lot for today and yours - see ya !!!
