A warm and mechanical weekend










Friday dad picked up the kids and together we did some shopping for the weekend. We bought food for a bbq on sunday and after we finished the shopping we went home to enjoy the sunshine. Nils and Wende played outside with Lindsey who lives a couple of houses further on. Ingmar in the men time, went to bed to get a little sleep. Lisette came home quite ealry and Lindsey showed up (as usual) around desert time and had a little desert with us too. In the evening dad went to a neighbour to help with a motorcycle of this neighbour's girfriend. It is exactly the same type of motor dad also has, a Suzuki savage. Her cylindre head seemed to have a small leakage and we wanted to find out if the bolts were tightended enough. To check that we needed to remove the gasoline tank and the cylindre head cover with the rocker arms. We could not finish this friday evening so we continued saturday and finished what we wanted to do. the bolts seemed tight enough and we checked the clearance between the rocker arms and the cam shaft and this seemed to be okay as well. It only lacked oil, there should have been 650cc in the engine and we had to add almost half a liter (500cc)...We also had to fix an electric problem which made the engine cut out when steering to the right.. When we finished Emily made a test drive to see if her motorcycle was to her satisfaction. During this Nils Wende and Ingmar played in the garden. Ingmar likes to crawl around the garden in search of new things. He is so very curious. We also prepared the swing for Ingmar so he could have a go. An how he liked that! Smiling and laughing out loud! Tonight even, Lisette saw him standing on his own without help! This afternoon we went to "the beach" of Andel. There were not many people there, in fact we were the only ones.. Lindsey and her older sister joined us and they played with the sand and the water. Nils and a boy he knew from school made a small pond and gathered small water animals in it. In the afternoon we had a nice nice bbq with Lindsey as our guest..
