    I had a big branch come down earlier in the week, missed the hot house, fence & the house.
    Spent yesterday chopping it up and used Wallit today to cart all the branches down beside the driveway ready to get them mulched.

    I had a problem some months ago where I turned the key and nothing happened. Got out, thought about it, got back in and it started OK.
    I suspected the starter solenoid then I remembered that I'd had to repair the ignition switch early on so maybe time to get a new switch.

    Poured with rain last night and Wallit is parked outside.
    Took the mats out to dry in the sun today then changed the front sidelight lenses. The plastic had discoloured and they were a brownish sort of colour so fitted some new ones which will probably discolour in time....

    Then took Wallit for a drive to collect a bandsaw.
    I was given a very old one some time back but the tyres were badly perished and were the moulded on type, plus it had a 3-phase motor.
    Option 1. Get new tyres moulded on at over $400 and find a single phase motor.
    Option 2. Machine off the old tyres (they are rock hard) and fit a rubber band tyre then find a single phase motor.
    Option 3. Collect a newer bandsaw FOC.

    So I took option 3 ! This one works and came with a couple of spare blades.

    Now I need to move on the old one which is probably worthless without the tyres.

    Finally got round to painting and fitting the original bonnet.

    I'd fitted an old one temporarily over 4 years ago ! Every time I closed the bonnet there was a shower of rust particles from the ribs where they were rusted. The original was in the shed and had been undercoated years ago.
    Dug out some acrylic paint that came with Wallit (must be about 12 years old now). Hung the bonnet under a tree (I know, not ideal) and resprayed it, then a few days later riveted the spare wheel mount back on.

    Fitted it this afternoon, closed it down and found the latch wouldn't allow me to open it again !!
    Ended up removing the grille and loosening the latch mechanism. Adjusted everything and tightened the latch then refitted the grille.

    Fitted a new rear view mirror that just arrived in a consignment from Paddocks.

    Getting a bit dark to take pictures.

    Took a drive to the Highball Cars & Coffee event at Robert Bosch.
    Huge range of vehicles....Porsche's, Ferrari's, a Lamborghini 4WD, a Hummer, lots & lots of Japanese vehicles, a few Land Rovers.

    A Pinzgauer parked next to me.

    Another SWB Series III in Spanish Olive turned up and I saw a Moke in the same colour. I think the colour was available across the whole Leyland range at the time, Rovers, p76's, Mini's etc.

    I have a couple of 'spare' bonnets around so I decided to paint one.
    I might put it on Wallit occasionally or it can hang on the shed wall.

    While I was doing it SWMBO commented "very creative....., what is it".
    "A spare bonnet I replied".
    She said......"why do you need a spare bonnet ????"
