I spoke sternly to myself,...and then me chipped in as well,...it ended up in a bit of a "who dunnit" situation,.....and needless to say everyone blamed everybody else !!!!

So who do you think is going to fix it !!!!

Retrovan, it seems that you've infected Haans with your split personality condition!

Ok!!!,...Haans is getting a bit embarrassed with the bling bling "oorbelle" we fitted,.... lipstick is definately out at this stage !!!

And he's getting a bit "grouchy" with me lifting his "onnerok" everytime I want to take a picture of his "innards",..........but with a few coughs ,....farts and squirts!!! he's up and running with a fairly good heartbeat for an old fart like him!!
Will try make a video upload of him running,......only after nine in the mornings,....no action before that!
This week will be electrics and fix that new hole I tried to make in the back,...against his will!!!!

Well,....as Herman always say,.....twice around the block and then to the Spar and back AND if nothing breaks ,...you venture around the town,...preferably the oneyou stay in!!!,...and then. If nothing gives you hassles,....then you can venture out.

I just did that ,..and as some of you've seen we ventured out of town to the Graaff Reinet car show! this previous weekend.
Needless to say it was the worst friday of me life in terms of heat and wind combination I ever experienced. Haans persevered and we reache our destination ,....not without little niggles as expected. Had to adjust the timing and a bulb or two,..a fuse and that was about it.

First two pics are when we stopped for snackies in Jansenville,...last pic is Haans in all his glory at the show!,,....he was a bit "uncomfortable" being the only KG there,...but there were some "cousins, nephews and nieces" around on the field

Will share mmore , Haans
