Rode in JHB peak traffic, Eish my poor heart
I spent my therapy money an a K1200S
The therapy worked, I got a GS now
A touch of insanity crept back in the shape of an R1200R

I have been at a family reunion the last few days. The other day I was a family hero because I put my education to use and rebuilt the carbs on a jet ski before we got on the water. Hadn't run since last fall and I got it running in pretty good order! Everyone who wanted a turn got one and I got to ride one for the first time. I do see why they're so much fun, and I definitely see why stunts on them are so appealing!

Tore the whole front end of my bike apart tonight...in preparation for the install of new bearings tomorrow!! WOOHOO...can't wait to re-assemble the parts and be able to ride again...

Also had three days of camping with wifey & the kids, dogs too...it was a nice weekend of evening campfire and beer, intermixed with daytime playing with the kids & quiet time for reading...nice and relaxed weekend...

Hope everyone else had a great Canada Day Weekend!!

Later.

I kind of felt the same .............. went to work at 12md today & had left by 1330 (should have been there until 2100). Have felt rather under the weather recently + have an enormous weeping blister on my hand. Thought I should make the effort & go in but 5 mins into my shift I had a senior member of staff shouting at me :rant: when I questioned some decisions he made last week.

As I work in surgery my hand injury & the fact I am on antibiotics (therefore immunosuppressed), I am at risk of bacterial infection/endocarditis/ dreaded blood borne viruses. I was prepared to take that risk for the benefit of patients + colleagues (we are short staffed as usual), but after the verbal abuse I thought b*****ks to this & went off sick! :(

Oh & I am packing to go on another rally this weekend :D
