Annoying weather...

Why is it that when you have loads of stuff to do to a car the weather just won't let you?

My list of things to do is:
Change Lambda sensor
Replace bits of underseal (Scraped off on speed bumps)
Front discs and pads
Replace lower wishbone bolt

So far every day I have free its been pouring down with rain (Car won't fit in my garage). Anyone else equally as frustrated by the stupid weather we have been getting (that doesn't follow the forecasts)?

Miserable isn't it? Getting sick of it now, I've given up waiting and just work through the rain.

No rain up here today. We fitted a rear fog light and changed the oil/filter, ran out of daylight though and it needs washing badly

I've got an oil change to do soon and a bit of work needed to get the car through the MOT.

I've booked a week off in February to do it all... I'm praying it's going to be at least dry!

I need to rebuild the engine on my bike. I've got a garage to do it in but I can't get the motivation to do it as I know I won't be out riding when it's raining so it seems pointless at the moment.

Was gonna replace a water damaged headlight unit today, held off because the weather was looking grim. It ended up not raining :/

Balls, I'd rather be doing it in the sun!

Yeah sod that, theres nothing nice about working on your car in the wind and the rain, and I always find you make more mistakes when you're cold and miserable

I REALLY hope we get a nice long summer this year.

Plus everything just hurts more when you are cold.

No point freezing half to death and making a load of mistakes, when you could be enjoying a nice cuppa inside instead.
