Proving to be a busy year this year. Another little 2 weekend of pretending to be soldiers while trying to keep the Mildcat flying. Really pushing myself into the red with regards to the leaky brain. May be quickly reaching the end of my usefulness in this job.

Had a good day over the weekend, the wife wanted to learn how to change brakes, so we waited for a nice day and set to it, only a few areas she struggled with (few rusty bolts), but with a little coaching she smashed it. Although she did leave replacing the ABS sensor to me.

Its been a long time since the crash in 22, but I'm finally making steps. I was discharged from DMRC, and just working with the tail-end TBI issues. But surprisingly, I found out 2 days before this ex that I'd been promoted. Not sure the dog is happy I'm deployable again though.

Sometimes I am reminded of why I don't trust water. Google Photos reminded me today. About 12 hours between these photos. One is as safe as anything, the other is similar to the conditions that washed a car down stream and cost the occupant their life. Don't take the risk.

Keep seeing Threads trending, and I though people were talking about the BBC film. Boy was I wrong.

Not the end to the week I was hoping for. Had my review with the MO, and they are keeping me MND while we wait for Stanford Hall to book me another appointment. I was hoping to at least get MLD so I can start getting back on with the job, the adventure. At least the dog is happy.

I found myself packing an overnight bag to go to DMRC tomorrow. I am sure it is an outpatient thing, but I'd rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it. Not sure how well I'll do on an 8 hour round trip as a passenger, but guess we'll find out.

Living with an old car is always a battle, but today's was a easy win. Developed a clicking noise when turning so time for a new CV. Found the source of the noise half way through, snapped circlip. All back together to live another day. #RangeRoverP38 #HalfordsAdvanced

Quite anxious for tomorrow, my first appointment with DMCR for a TBI I got from the crash in Oman. Be nice to find if I can go back to doing my job or at least a timeline to go back to it, been a long 3 months so far.

Days until I leave Oman: -3 Got involved in a RTA on the way to the airport. Feel like I am going to be here forever. Luckily the emergency services have been tip top, Omanis in general have been amazing. Just got to wait for the Army to make a decision on our flight home.

First time I saw this trick was in 2018. Used it every year since. The UK really isn't cut out for heat.

Never rains but it pours in the world of P38s. Fixed one problem, found a new one.

What a start to the week. Pretty sure what hit my car came from the @BellGroupUK yard that has turned the neighbourhood into a land fill, but I can't prove it. Just can't get a break.

My career has peaked. 100% success rate at Wordle. Might as well just sign off at this point. Wordle 206 4/6 ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛🟨⬛⬛ 🟨🟨🟨⬛⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Welp, last Socks update. His little body had enough and we had to take him to the farm. He put up a good fight bless him, it was just too much he wasn't Socks anymore, he was suffering and just didn't have anything left to give.

Unfortunately for this bundle of fluff his seizures are reaching out of control status. He had his first seizure while awake which sent him running into a wall at full speed, a visit to the out of hours vet and last chance drug cocktail. Going to be a rough few weeks for him.

As a "Proper Walker" (do I need an ID to prove it, or is this self certified?) and former member of Mountain Rescue, I'd like to say welcome to the hills. I'd rather see you guys out there than some of the ugly people who've left comments. Nature is for everyone, enjoy it!

I signed up to get a covid booster because I wanted that spicy spicy 5G goodness. Instead I find my signal has dropped to nothing. Turns out covid jabs block 5G!
