i did go back to work today the wife kept finding me stuff to do around the house and garden , at least at work can i can escape work if i so wish, always places to nip out to like Costco , Starbucks or McDonald's .

Took my son out on his trails bike and he got his first puncture in his front tyre i took it of at home threw it in the car and went to get fixed at Wosters on York Road whilst i was there i asked the mechanic to sell me some Goop and could he put it in for me Goop is a green based compound with rubber particles floating in its mass once a puncture occurs when the air rushes out the particles rush in to resell the tube this can also stop blow outs and further accidents so if it happened again it would in theory resell itself carry on riding no problems i also bought another bottle to do the back wheel as they say prevention being better than cure the mechanic took the wheel round the back and ten minutes later reappeared with the wheel all done and dusted

when i got home i fixed the wheel back onto the front forks and got to work on the rear tyre with the extra bottle of Goop i bought i did not know by reading the instructions what decoring the valve as there was no mention of how to do it on the bottle, but after going online i do now, all the instructions on the bottle said after deflating the tyre's inner tube with the tool provided pull out tube on top of bottle fully and insert over end of valve then gentle squeeze until required amount off Goop is place inside the tube reinflate tyre to correct pressure blah blah blah after 2 hours of trying to get the sealant into the tyre and it ending up on the floor over me over the tyre but none actually inside the tyre i knew i was doing something wrong , a Ferrari mechanic for the f1 racing team i ain't and never will be but persistence paid of and once i took the inside of the value out by turning it anti clockwise to screw it out the Goop went in basically in 30 seconds time will till if it does exactly what it says on the can watch this space my son took out his bike again and so far so good .
