Unfortunately this once again coincides with an order backlog caused by my holiday, and hasn&#8217;t been helped by the two hottest days of the summer so far. I went to the workshop Monday and cleared a few orders, and in anticipation of cooler temperatures I&#8217;m hoping to get there tomorrow as well.
