motorcycle servicing

Could I look after taylor with the right knowledge and the right tools....I'd like to think I could.


Today was not a great day but I did very much enjoy sitting down and reading fazer service book and haynes manual this evening whilst watching sons of anarchy.


fitness

Had a bit of a relapse recently...a few canteen lunches....absolutely no exercise....feelin a bit fat...


sense of achievement

Very low at the moment. Struggling at work (actually very bored with the entire project and not doing my job well at all!)


God sex last night though.......

sequential activities and jigsaw activities

Two different mindsets:


Jigsaw is a means of building up detail over time...refining a solution after an initial understanding of only the most critical ideas/elements/concepts.


Sequential is when at any given time the full details (applicable to that instance) must be known and understood. Details cannot be refined over time, they must be actef upon at a specified point in time to the full extent.


Jigsaw is the means by which design information should be reviewed...build up a more detailed, interdependent information overtime (by what ever means).


Sequential is the means by which things should be constructed. All information known at time og implementation (the term 'facts known' means to represent that risk has been managed via acceptable means).

Is getting a little higher today! Energy it takes to stay miserable is probably less than what it takes to keep positive!

belstaff thruxton

Yesterday I recieved my belstaff thruxton jacket.....it is absolutely fucking gorgeous! Ebay bargain at £405 inc postage. Makes my death korps of krieg look quite cheap!


I'll need to buy some kevlar jeans to go with it...I think I'll keep my hein gericke gloves and wait another few pay packets before buying some 'smaller' gloves.


I am not happy with work at the moment, if anything I am under performing. Sense of achievement is readonably high however as I have reached my 10033 target for wedding savings. Yes, I have borrowed money from it to pay for my jacket but tjis will be replaced next month when I recieve my merit payment.
