Sometimes you have to take responsibility for your own actions. Like it or not.

I've just driven back from Glasgow listening to the exact same album! Aqualung and Thick as a Brick made the journey so much better. 😀 ??? 8) :o

You are fine Pete as long as you don't start listening to the Incredible String Band...Then we will get seriously worried  ;D ;D

Being serious though, the mere fact that you are posting again and getting stuck into your bikes/ projects  is a really positive sign to me that have turned the corner in beating your depression ...During my 'dark period' the doctor told that, in view of the fact I have an obsessive nature, then I should try to focus my thoughts on an interest/hobby that I am passionate about  and hence de-focus from worrying about other darker stuff that was making me miserable. I took her advice and focussed on bike restoration  and it's the best therapy I could have wished for ...OK I am the 1st to admit that I go over the top with it on many occasions  but it was certainly instrumental in turning my life around....So Pete ..we all look forward to a prolific amount of posting from you in 2018.

When I was at Uni, I foolishly  fixed a Jim Dunlop 'Cry-Baby' wah-wah pedal for the guy in the room  opposite me ... I lived to regret it, as he then played the  intro to Hawkwind's  'Master of the Universe' at volume 11 with it  for the next two weeks and drove us all nuts. Yea, as James said,  keep yer chin up Pete .. I bet you will be surprised at how much money you coin in by selling off your surplus Honda parts ... it's certainly all gone slightly  mental since we first met on here around 2010 . What's your no.1 priority bike project for 2018 ?

Far out and solid Pete!  Yo' heavy and a bottle of bread!!
...from a Down Under Hippy from the times....which were great if I could remember a fair bit of it!! :-\

Apart from Tull & Hawkwind, I was and still am, into prog and heavy Brit rock e.g. Yes, Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, Zep and whatever else tweaks my ears!!  8) 8) 8)
