Productive Day

11 May 2013
Got a lot done today!

I used to tinker with car engines quite a lot. Whenever I did, I always ended up with a few extra bits - quite handy for populating one's spares bin. Well, when I serviced the winches this winter, I ended up with a couple of spares... So I took both the main winches apart today and found where the miscreant components belonged - no worries!

Changed the transmission oil. Oops - that's a first!

Created a fender board - custom fitted to the workshop so it'll stay in storage all by itself until needed.

Organized the garage area.

Meanwhile Laurie had the unenviable job of cleaning out the bilge. Quite amusing really since her arms are barely long enough to reach the bottom of it!

And it's the weekend!
