forget what I actually went in there for, but emerge with something new that needs fixing, accidently increasing your workload

consider the pro's & con's of starting it up for a little bit (maybe a few minutes, just to HEAR it... UUMMMMMMM.....)

look out the garage back door to see if it is raining out the back of the house as well

return to the laptop, a little pissed off and dejected that you waited all fkn year for the Summer so you could get out on some dry sticky roads and HAVE IT - only to find we are now having some sort of monsoon rain-forest conditions causing you to wonder quite why you bothered taxing, mot'ing & insuring the thing in the first place??

Bag of Arse!!

I try to justify it by thinking - if I dont ride it - I can't crash it!
im not the only one then lol.
