Sometimes I do things and almost instantly step back and think - why the f#@k did I do that.

Last episode I’d stripped and cleaned the swinging arm, shock and linkage, this one was supposed to be:
Strip and clean rear brake, back of engine, start re-assembly. Instead I picked up the rear part of the exhaust and gave it a gentle rub with a polishing block that was sat on the bench in a bowl of stuff to be put away.

“Ooh, that’s coming up OK”, before I knew it there was a shiny patch and the polishing mop was on the bench grinder and a bigger shiny patch.

Oh dear, a while later….

Why - "Oh dear" - well now I've got to do the rest of the system and its got 26 years of crud on it
