Morning all. Today my ickle pup is 9 weeks old. Oh how I wish I could show you her. She is lovely and looks full of mischief from her pics that I have so far of her. Hope you all have a good day. Margaret should be over barring any mishaps.

Good morning Brenda and all

Car is on the ramps as we speak for its annual check up (MOT). It's been in for an hour now. Must be a thorough check up. Fingers crossed they don't find anything

Teddy has a vet check up this afternoon, but the stitches look clean so here's hoping that goes well too

Good morning Brenda, Chris and all who follow

Pity you can't post pictures Brenda as I bet your pup is gorgeous.
Fingers cross for a clean MOT and vet check for Ted Chris

Thinking of you Lynn have a safe journey

Dry and bright here after overnight rain. Have washed the bedding but don't think it will dry outside so on the airer and radiators. Teazle walked and she has had a bath much to her disgust Now coffee time

Take care everyone.

A bit like this.

The car passed with flying colours thankfully so now just the vets to go at 3.30 pm.

I decided to have another look as to why my Stihl MS170 chainsaw would not start.

I have had the MS170 Stihl version for many years. Recently it has been a pig to start or not start at all > fuel mixture was correct so only left ignition. Thanks to a youtube video I stripped down the machine as far as checking the coil and gap. Although I had never touched it the gap was nearly non existant, how it worked before beats me. After cleaning up the coil from gunk I reset the gap to .009 " as suggested and reassembled. Couple of cord pulls and it started.

there is a lot of satisfaction in getting something to work again

You can say that again Barry. Margaret has gone home now and a good natter was had and food eaten with no disasters. Have a good evening everyone. Hope Teds visit this afternoon was good for you Chris. Also good to hear car is ok. Oh Sue you cruel mummy giving Teazle a bath. lol!! All mine loved their baths.

and Ted passed with flying colours too.

I mentioned that he'd wet the surgical suit a couple of times so she gave me a new one. Brilliant vets. Not much you can get at a vets these days without charge

Evening all
Pleased Ted got on well at the vets
