Finally fitted the tub and bulkhead, 88cm gaps all round!  Hopefully the tub will not have to come off again in my lifetime

Fill with oil all level plugs. Less than 1 liter all the car is a good number.
After many problems with sump gasket. A new one and two home made the best solution was use teflon over all the sump bolts

Went out for run with the cab fitted for the first time. Not realising the difference, my wife arrived with hat and scarf and was pleasantly surprised to find there was a roof (been open top running since getting on the road) and no Bridget Jones mad hair.

Jessie the dog liked it just the same.

Went to the local Sefton tip with bags of leaves. Given all the chat on the forum about the tips being tricky about Series LR's, I was waved through with not a second look. No queue, nice and easy.

Hood should arrive this week

Groan!

Nurse, he's escaped again!

OT but we were watching a programme about Hamish McInnis, the climber, last night. Multiple Everest expeds etc. Aged 84 he was hospitalised having lost his memory after a severe infection, "escaped" and was found scaling the exterior of the hospital... The programme finished with a shot something along the lines of "Belfort Hospital, grade 4 V Diff, First Ascent, H McInnes, aged 84"  Lets hope we are all capable of feats like that when we reach that age :-)

Good God is he still alive! My father climbed with him when I was very wee - wait till I tell him the Fox is still alive!
I remember him sleeping on the floor in our kitchen when he came down to climb the Stacks at Holyhead.

90 and still upright I believe. The other "Creag Dhu" climbers I remember were Hector & Dick, who used to camp out here under a tarp. I first met them, well into their 70s, when we met them and mates, sitting with a bottle of malt round a campfire in the bottom field. You don't expect gentlemen of that age to be singing about "...cocaine running round my brain".  They got a bit older and dropped the tarp hung from a tree for two Bedford Rascals with a tarp stung between them... Sadly both gone now. Hectors funeral was so crowded there were hundreds of people standing outside the church, unable to get in.
