Both those possibilities above were missing from my toolkit I had to fall back to my trusty leather.
Andy had a message back from them, they got back safe, very good.

Re: Ariel, Riding, Breaking and Fixing Diary 2022 Retired!
Just a thought, I'm just back this morning after doing a little job for my Daughter who's a 999 call handler. What a day yesterday she says (Bank Holiday Monday) nothing but car and motorcycle accidents, fortunately no fatalities but no bugger knew where they were. If you have a smartphone then get the app installed on your phone called What3Words. It could save your life.

That's a co-incidence, I was just thinking that Steven has been missing for a while, hope all is OK

That's nice of you to enquire Bob,,,, I'm alive and kicking. Just this retirement thing has confused me a bit. It's my new years resolution to wake up and get Arieling a bit more and posting here too. I do feel a bit guilty not being so active.

Cheers Paul, love the photo. I hope you and all had a great Christmas.
My Huntmaster has decided to punish me for my lack of enthusiasm
Leaving her alone has caused top box got all mouldy and the clutch cable has seized
Also back in September whilst up in Yorkshire I spat out a wheel nut through my FERC. Lew gave me one of his nuts to get me home but it has left me with a bent upper FERC .
Though it was an easy fix with the help courtesy of Alan.
Another thing that has been annoying me was a tappet sound from the engine that wasn't tappets, if you know what I mean. hmmm. My worry was either a very worn camshaft or more hopefully a worn cam follower, twas definitely the latter
The magnet on my sump nut had some work to do. Better do an oil change

Right, glad to have proof you are doing alright and have to admit the retired thing keeps me so busy working for the rest of the family it can be an effort sometimes.
All the best for the New Year.

Re: Ariel, Riding, Breaking and Fixing Diary 2022 Retired!
Although I worked for myself Frank, I did have a routine of sorts, my family and friend's knew I wasn't available during the day so didn't bother me much, but now thats changed, but I am glad it has
