DC Jack Replacement
We were looking at a two years old window vac, and it refused to charge. After some investigation, I concluded it was the charging jack. After proving my diagnosis, I harvested a old DC jack from an old clock and fitted it into the window vacuum. It is charging, that will do.

Haribo Factory Shop
I stopped by Haribo shop, and it is now mostly the same price to their shops in outlets. So I just picked up one tub.

Alton Towers in Summer
We thought it would make the difference that we went to Alton Towers on a Monday. It probably was a tiny bit better. We queue 20 minutes to get parked, then we went straight to the Congo Rapids, what we went for. Followed by a few other rides and the Sky Rides were also running, which was good. We squeezed in a pinball whizzer and Battle Galleons. I was happy we did what we went for and avoid most of the queuing.

Jousting
I have wanted to watch jousting every since watching the Royal Armoury Horse shows those 18 years ago. We finally watched some jousting, ie two riders running at each other with a stick.

Women in Moto in Uttoxeter
Another biker joined me to Women in Moto, Cardo did a good job taking us around the cities. We arrived in good time and managed to get onto some test rides. I went to a moto gymkhana session, it was a good refresher. The CBR650R was very good bike, but it hurts my back.
For the test rides and the moto gymkhana session, it was worth my entry. The food offers were not very good...

Green Hut Cafe
I was riding on A614, and I remember I went to this little biker cafe. I didn't look it up before I set off, so I had no idea where it was. I did stop by the nearby Esso to sort out the navigation, I didn't know it was so close. I will think about stopping there next time.

Warranty Insurance
I have claimed on my Warranty Insurance for Danby before, and now I had to claim for Fradley. This is my second insurance claim of the year, after the travel insurance claim.
