Ash is in hospital

Well i don't know about the ashman express or the trains running through the house, but the layout is taking over my shed and now the Triumph gone it might get even bigger but i still have my workshop area for the Norton and work benches.
There are more i can do in the shed but it will just be a little bit harder for me.
Just had a meet with the after i leave rehab to home aftercare but it still up tp the OT person here to arrange grab rails, wheelchair and what ever else is needed in the house for me, but now the other insurance paying for all that is needed it should be a quick process to getting me home, well i hope so, tomorrow home visit will be the start to find out what is needed why i need to be there as well my daughter who be my main carer when i do get home.

Ash - with all these trains and an increase in tracks you'll need.... a Fat Controller! (ooh-er! mustn't say that 🤣 )

Cheers!

Just had a call from Ash (@ashman ) who is in hospital after he and his wife were T-boned by a four-wheel-drive while out on his Thruxton in a 50km/hr zone.

He's a bit pissed off but otherwise is good spirits.
He told me he's going to lose his right foot, which he's resigned to.
Deb, his wife, is in a worse way with ribs/lung & leg injuries.

He can access the forum from his phone but is not up to posting from it (are any of us??)

Here's wishing him & Deb the best and fastest recovery!
Cheers
Ashman,
Rooting for you and your wife for a good recovery.Get well and keep your spirits up.

Well its the big day, just finish brekkie and in 2 hrs i be heading home for a test run to see how i go and to see what mods i need done in the house, just hope i don't fuck up as its hard work with a missing lowet leg, my balance is just out of wack.
My daughter stayed over at my place last night do hope she did dome cleaning as the house hadn't been lived in since the accident.
Hoping there be some dragon fruit on my plants as its that time of year for them to fruit, and hope my dog remembers me as she is old over 15 years old and she been there on her own, i miss her very much.
Not sure how long we be there for but i also found out a old mate was found dead in his bed so need to get out for his funural when its on and after drinks with old mates, RIP lenny you were a good person and be well missed by everyone.

Ash. Dont know how Austrailian cattle dogs are but if theyre anything like the labradore retrievers Ive had be careful she doesnt bowl you over with joy. A good dog never forgets.
 
Well i am back from the home visit getting in and out of the car onto the wheel chair was easy, getting on my crutchers to get
up the side of my house was good but at the end of my house my passionfruit vine needs a good cut back as it was hanging low between the house and fence , got up the back steps ok and the wheel chair got through the house after moving a few things out of the way, my wife has a lot of clutter around the house and has been a major problem for years and many aguments overtime, but things has to change there.
As for mods not much really needs to be done 2 hand rails at the back door, the door has to be changed to open in instead of out, easy fix as my dad changed that, the OT person brought up a few things to yry in the bathroom a seat across the bath tub and a seat with arms for thd toilet snd i had no problems there ever without any hand rails, so the house just needs clutter removed, a good clean as the spider webs have taken over the ceilings, my shed is tidyer than the house, it also needs to be opened up for fresh air to flow yhrough and pest control spraying.
It was good to see my dog Milly, she was a bit comfused seeing me but she likef her pats from me.
My dragon fruit is fruiting and got 2 ripe ones and 6 that were beyond saving no one there tp pick them.
So closer to going home but not yet till the place gets sorted.
Picks of my dragon fruit we picked.
