Nice to have visit from Triumph 66

[the showman 4,074]

Very pleased to have Triumph 66 visit me today, it was nice to spend some time with him over 2 cups of tea and have a catch up.

Of cause he wanted to look in the sheds and see the Raider burst into life.

Then it was time to go and obviously I couldn't let him go without him buying something red off me so we rang out his wallet and even helped him load up.

It was good to meet both Chris and Steve at the Showman's House this afternoon. I left Devon this morning having filled up the van with a mower deck and two implements for Jamie in Portsmouth to swap for a set of Bolens Disc Harrows for my Ride a Matic. Got rid of three implements for one implements. I then drove over to Chris Bolens outside Worthing where I bought a Bolens Ride A Matic front cylinder mower. That's 2 items now in my van. Still better than having three implements to store. I had a good natter with Chris and Leisa was an absolute gem providing lunch and two cups of coffee. After that I drove over to Peace Haven to see Chris and his WH project where I met the amusing Steve who regaled me with tales of his classic motorbikes. I do like that WH by the way and it fired up happily on my arrival with exhaust fumes in the shed where Chris was working his magic. I had a couple of cups of tea with Chris who then hoodwinked me into buying  a chain harrow with red paint. I was frankly shocked at his boldness but he sweetened the deal by throwing in a working bench grinder in the deal which I shall use to grind off the red paint.... To top it all I started the day with three implements and ended the day with three implements.

You'll have to pay me a visit, Andrew. I'm sure I'll have something I can offload sell you.

Yes those wheel weights..... 

[Alan 1,273]

No good visiting John's place again Andrew.  There's nothing left.   Unless you want a caravan.   Chris will tow it home for you.  He's good at towing caravans. 

[Triumph66 1,256]

I might need that caravan when my missus see those implements....

 

[Stormin 4,458]

Flat pack, Alan.

[Triumph66 1,256]

Here are the implements I collected yesterday plus the new bench grinder. I am well chuffed with these items. 

[Alan 1,273]

I wonder where that grinder came from.   I'm sure I've seen it before. Could be wrong though.  But I'm not. 

[Stormin 4,458]

I notice you've taken the photo's in the van. Waiting for a good time to tell the wife? We know someone else who does that.

I'm not sure the disk is factory Bolens, but it sure looks like it. Great score Andrew
