Congratulations on this milestone Del. Always a relief and pride involved I’m sure. The first time I fired up a bike that I had done engine work on i literally had tears welling up in my eyes. Haha.
I know the feeling buddy, you've put so much in to it, and it only takes one tiny mistake and it can be costly and catastrophic, so it's a relief when it fires right up! Take care and have a great weekend, and thank you for your support as always.
Exciting progress! You might be converting me, lol. I'm normally not a big fan of the loud Harley pipe more percussive "crackle pop" sound, as I much prefer the more mellow but deep tone of say, a Japanese/Italian sporting v2 or v4, but ye gods, that loping, galloping horse idle of a Harley is just too cool for words, damn! :D
It sounds like the darkside is calling you Sir, come on , you'll never look back!
Just before watching your video, and before i forget --Well Done -- I was watching/listening to my fav band "Lord Of The Lost (LOTL)" probably not your cup of tea but they have a new track out, and after your cheeky little grin when your project fired up for the first time, I thought yeah your bikes got "heartbeat of the devil " BRILLIANT, then (sorry about this) I named your project "Black Halo" (Luxurious, polished, and with sophisticated construction) and both LOTL tracks. Lovin' what you are doing, Thank You.
Black Halo is cool, love it, thank you for your input, it was a pleasure to hear it fire up for sure... I've not heard of LOTL, but just checked out 'For They Know Not What They Do', AWESOME!
@@Moonfleet41 glad you enjoyed👍👍👍
Dead chuffed for you Del. Not a single leak and tuned to perfection. My nerves would be in tatters. The regular heartbeat is resumed!! It sounds super mean with the straight through pipe's. Really looking forward to what comes next with the total strip down. Been working on the street bob Friday afternoon & all day saturday. Front forks out to fit black tubes over the upper chrome & fitted an aftermarket fairing & screen what a pain that was! Take care both! 🇸🇪🇬🇧☀️😊👋🏻
Thank you Paul, it was a happy day when it just fired right up and ran smooth... now I can focus on the creative stuff once I've got it all stripped down to a frame and make a start.... have a great week my friend and thank you for your support!
Great work Del, you must be so pleased with how it's progressing. It's really a pleasure to watch you work. It bought back memories watching you do the dynojet install. I put one in a ironhead sportster in the early '90s and it really woke the bike up. Like you said thunderslides didn't exist then. Anyway on to the frame. I'm so looking forward to you chopping and modifying it. I've got a feeling this is going to be one fantastic bike when it's done, in fact I know it will be :) All the best mate
Thank you so much Kevin 👍, it was great to have it fire right up and settle down right away, and it sounds sweet and smooth too, very happy with hte outcome. Now i can turn to the rest of the project, got to strip it right down to the bare frame so at least 4 days to get to that... then i can begin.!! Thanks for your support mate, really appreciate it.
Amazing how dirty the new oil got after two heat cycles. I am probably the only one who prefers the mellower sound of the stock exhaust ;-) You can be proud of your meticulous work, the engine runs like a peach. Günter from Nürnberg/Germany
Glad you enjoyed Günter, we each have our own personal taste on motorcycle style, that's what makes the variety so enjoyable!
@@Moonfleet41 The more variety, the more interesting life on two wheels gets. Who would have thought four years ago that I would own two enduros after all these years on supersports bikes? Enduros, superbikes, scooters at the moment - what brings the future? Maybe a Harley ;-)? Cheerio to both of you from sunny Nuremberg, Günter
Congratulations Del - great result and, as always, great video. Looking forward to the next one! By the way, I have the same Wera 1/4" drive ratchet set (well, mine is metric) - it's well made and incredibly handy and gets a lot of use in my shop.
Thanks buddy, glad you enjoyed it.. and yeah, i bought that set to carry on the Harley with me, but it get's way more used on the garage then out on the road.. Good quality kit aye. !
I'm not even going to see this video because is not of my interest. However, I am here because I wanted you to know, I have seen some videos of you and, mate, you're awesome. I've seen old videos and your quality is just going upwards, congratulations, honestly. And thank you so much, you actually are doing a huge job, and you are helping some of us a lot. I wish you the best and greetings from Spain. Already subscribed.
Wow, thank you so much Gabriel for your very kind words of encouragement and support, we put a lot of time and effort into the content, so it makes us very proud when it is appreciated and recognised.. Take care and have a good week my friend. Del.
One of the things I really love about my Triumph is that the oil filter is vertical, so there is no spillage when removing the old filter or installing a new one filled with fresh oil. That said, it's fun to watch your project progressing and I look forward to the next instalment.
Form-a-funnel, look into them.
@@Hipsters_N_Hippies I still prefer a machine that's engineered to NOT make a mess.
Brill to hear it fire up Del! Can't wait to see what exhaust you put on the bike. I've just recently got a 2016 883 iron and I'm currently looking at available exhaust, not really too sure which way to go! I'd like the Harley sound but don't want it CRAZY loud.
Congratulations on your Iron mate, enjoy and ride safe!
Fantastic stage of the project Del, I’m thoroughly happy for you, what a milestone and achievement, your face said it all, and I’m sure my tv speaker doesn’t do the engine and exhaust sound justice! Brilliant as always, looking forward to the rest of the build! Take care both of you, have a wonderful weekend!!! Luke x
Many thanks Luke, it was a very happy moment when it fired up and settled down right away, after the residues burned off, on the second run it was able to calm right down to a perfect 950 idle with no noises that shouldn't be there.. Now i can sign off on the motor for now, i can turn to the more creative stuff and make a cool bike of it.! Thanks for your kind support as always.. D&Px
Awesome Job Del. That engine sounds so good. Love the Harley engine sound. Really like that fine tuning you did on it.
Thanks buddy👍, love carbs for their adjustability, ill have more time once the bike is done to get it better.. get out for a ride with a screw driver in my pocket and twiddle till it's perfect !
Love it.
Bloody nice job right there Del. She started beautifully. And quietly. Sporty’s make a really nice syncopated exhaust note. Especially when they’re not too loud. Engine sounded nice and quiet too. Thanks for this episode.
Thanks Nick, it was a happy day for sure, motor is amazingly quiet with no untoward sounds... and you're right, Sporty engines have their own sound, different to Big twins, 4 separate gear driven cams makes them quieter with no chains driving them, the even the primary chains are way shorter so less rattle.. overall a more efficient piece of engineering.!
The sound of a carbed Evo never gets old. Do you prefer synthetic or mineral in Harley´s? My old sporty had a rather loud rocker tick and it was definitely quieter with synthetic oil.
What you said mate.. the fully Synth oil make a big difference, and doesn't seem to break down as quick either.
Could you expand on why the oil looked like it did after only minutes of running? Is it bad to have the assembly lube in the motor for longer than a a few heat cycles? Thanks!
You're a better man than I. I would NOT have the discipline to resist taking it out for a good ride ! Absolutely love the sound of it at idle . . . 'potato potato potato' . . . music to my ears.
Thanks Bernard, it was a happy moment that's for sure. I would love to have taken it for a long ride. but the tyres are horribly cracked and perished and it's not road legal yet.. so ill just have to wait and look forward to the big day wen it's done.
Is it the inner air box housing that keeps the carb in place on the intake manifold ? There appeared to be no carb clamp at the manifold ?
It is a push on spigot as you can see, with a rubber seal, and it's held on by the filter back plate...
Beautiful job Del ! No way the results could have been less than perfect considering the level of your work. An absolute clinic on the job should be done. In awe of your skills and those of the lady behind the camera. 😊 Many thanks to you both.👍👍
Thank you kindly Rick, that's very generous of you, it was great fun and a happy moment when it fired up!
Love that little grin at 5:30 when she catches - no matter how many bikes anyone fixes/repairs/rebuilds there is always that "oh yes" moment when it all works
You're dead right Andy, that is a magical moment in any project!
@@Moonfleet41 I think it's a part achievment/part "didn't have to pay a mechanic/plumber/electrcian etc, saved myself some beer tokens" (it is for me anyway lol)
There is no way i can watch this video yet…..I haven’t watched the carb rebuild video! I cant skip an episode that would be almost cheating 😂….i have a little business that takes up most of my life so will catch up soon. I cant wait to see how long it took to start and how much smoke there was with all the lube applied during the build….i wont read the comments yet either😅 Ill comment soon mate.
Every time l see someone disassemble and reassemble any engine, it’s like a peek behind a wizards door to watch it come to life.Truly magical. So glad you’re a happy bunny and my god, that oil was gross! Looking forward to seeing what’s next. All the best 👍
Thanks buddy, yeah, the heat cycle oil is always pretty grotty, a lot of it is the assemgbly lube washing out, manufacturing residues on the new machined parts and of course brand new rings not yet bedded in. Thank for your support, more to come.
That engine sounded smooth! Now you can change the name from DelBoys Garage to DelBoys Engine building Shop. haha Good one
Thanks Jeremy, that'd be cool, really appreciate your kind feedback!
Right first time, v-good job (both of you). Magical feeling eh? Putting new life into old bones - and you fixed the bike too! (Apologies for that one will be sent by cardboard haddock) Can we have Del's BP figures 'before & after' next time? : )xx
Ha ha, you don't wanna know them mate... "lot's and less" about covers it..lol!
Sounds absolutely gorgeous, well done. Looking forward to the rest of the remake. Brilliant stuff M8 Ty :)
Thanks a ton Tony, really glad you like it, it's a happy day for sure when it fires up and runs clean..
i'm looking forward to this project as your doing a pretty similar job to the one i'm doing to my softail. my bikes down to its pistons. everything's stripped awaiting paint, polishing and new parts. I don't think mine will be on the road yet as I have very limited money. I can't wait to see what your going to do to it. Nice one.
Sounds like a fun project John, good luck with it my friend, I know all too well what you mean about budget, I'd love to have done more to this engine, but just didn't have the beans in the bag! It'll still be a cool bike, same as yours, when it's all your own work it makes all the more special!
Well done Del great job , you make it look so easy and experience has shown me it’s not , bike sounds lovely , and beautifully filmed as well 😎🖖
Thanks Nigel👍, thats very kind of you mate.. glad you're enjoying it.
Yay - she's alive! Awaiting the next episode with anticipation - excited to see what you have planned for this baby! Many thanks guys! x
Thanks Mike, yeah, great to hear it happily ticking over after all that work... now i can turn to more creative things..
Man! I would have put that seat on , and rode that thing!! I’ve always thought it was a good idea, to fill the oil filter. You just confirmed it.👍
Me too Glen, but sadly the front tyre is horribly cracked and perished, being the original one it's 20 years old, and the bike un-taxed too, so just gonna get on with the big strip down next.!
Ah the first start up. Both nerve racking and exciting at the same time. A great feeling it is once it starts. 👍
Sure thing Mike, happy moment indeed!
Del! That sounds amazing!…you certainly know what you are doing. It must be a lovely feeling when you hear that mighty engine roar as it did after deep surgery. Well done mate, i am really impressed. Kind regards.
Thanks buddy, it's always a happy moment when a fresh engine fires up for the first heat cycle.. now i can strip it back to the bare frame and begin the creative work..!
Great outcome brother !!!! love the first start up 😎 priceless !!! Rachel, my wife has been there for me all this time witnessing how happy I get when I get my bikes 🏍 to start up for the first time !!! great work brother ! keep up the great work ! stay safe guys cheers from new york! 🍺🍺🍺🍺
Thanks brother, it is a happy moment every time isn't it.. all that hard work coming together in one moment.. have a great weekend both of you can ride safe.. D&Pxx
Cant beat the nice chug of a rebuilt motor for the first time. Sounds great mate. Do you need to change the gearing now as you've got increased engine capacity?
Ni Nick, the gearing on the 883 is slightly lower in the primary side, so if anything this will pull away quicker then a factory 1200..!
Ooooooo the first startup!!! Listening so hard for knocks and clicks you hear them when they aren’t present 😂. Sounds good brother, went well with no broken bolts etc.👍🏻
Ha ha, no broken bolts indeed, and no leaks either.. i recon this is one loved and cared for bike, maybe not with polish and paint, she's a rusty old girl, but mechanically.. where it matters ! Happy days brother. .!
This must be so satisfying watching all your hard work come to life, and sounding fabulous great job mate you must be well happy.. all the best and ride safe👍
Thanks mate it was a happy moment when it fired up and ran smooth.
What a great outcome, Del… Sounds awesome! It’ll be great to watch you restore the balance of the bike! Hope you both are doing well there… 👍🏍👍
Thanks Gary, good to hear from you mate, a happy day indeed, I was so pleased when it fired up and ran smooth, and even happier when on the second heat cycle it settled down to a wonderful 950 tick over, now I can strip it down to a frame and start with the creative stuff... have a great Sunday both!
@@Moonfleet41 yessir! Looking forward to it! Lots of rain and wind for a bit here, so no riding. Hope it’s better there! 😎
Fired up nicely Del - Result 👍The straight through pipes are another level - brilliant!
Thanks mate, happy with that sound too, and relieved it's on the button and running.!
See how he’s going slow hooking everything up? That’s because you get real anxious about what you just done. The whole time you’re going over everything you just did in your head. You’re hoping you don’t have any issues…
Great video Del & Penny, as always. Very nice job mate, she sounds sweet , looking forward to watching the project progress long. Hope you are getting some sun over there, as it's starting to get cold over this side. Penny and you have a relaxing weekend, take care. Cheers
Thanks mate👍, we have some warm sunshine now, at least by mid morning once the mist burns off, and only rain every now and again... pretty good by UK standards.. and thankfully no holiday makers to clog up the roads yet either.. best time of year for sure. Thanks for your kind support mate, we're glad you're enjoying the project.
Why is it that the engine was smoking on the first heat cycle but not on the second? Just curious is all.
In the first heat cycle, all the external residues burn off, lubricant and sealant on bolt heads and greasy hand prints on the engine casings, by the second heat cycle they're all burnt off!
I'm just popping round the Library with my stage 1 running open pipes !! 😅 Shhhhhhhh! Peace and love to you both 👍🏻☮❤
Ha ha.. wonder if they've got a book on Harley Sportster upgrades..! Have a great weekend brother, and thanks for your support as ever.. D&Pxx
I bet that was a relief. Nothing nasty about those slash cuts, they sound awesome! 😀🏍💨
Thanks mate.. only nasty in that they're rusted out and damaged.. they do indeed sound handsome.!
10:39 How much is supermarket 10-40 oil these days?
Excellent rebuild vids and great camera work again from both of you... I must be the devils advocate as I just don't get the Harley thing they sound like old tractors.👍
Pennie’s camera work really makes their channel stand out from all the others. Nice work again kid! :)
Lots and lots people love old tractors!
Thank you Jim, it's very kind of you recognise the work that goes in to it, it;s much aprpeciated, Penny!
@@FFL-vg9ro I agree with you. Growing up in the farm country of Upstate New York, I always thought the sound of a running tractor was a manly sound. LOL
The sound of music to my ears.
This smile.... the first start of the engine....how much it carries emotions and experiences. Sir, as always, everything worked out the first time. my respects
Thank you very much and i totally agree, it's a smile of both joy and relief, so many tiny things you can get wrong, but thankfully nothing.. it's a great result. !
Nice result..engine sounds spot on. Looking forward as always to the rest of your series Del. Best wishes to you and Pen.
Thanks mate. Glad you enjoyed it, have a great weekend yourself.
Sounds good. She should have a bit more pep in her step now. Looking forward to watching the rest of the project.
Thanks Ron, it should indeed, and if i can cut a lot of the weight off it too then it'll make a fun ride!
Is that a wiha screwdriver your using when installing the air filter housing? That’s nice! I need to find me one of those.
CONGRATS Del !! A quick fire up and it sounds healthy. Excited for the fabrication, and what comes out of your wild mind. Cheers!
Thanks Logan, that's got the nuts and bolts dealt with, like you said, sounds healthy and oil tight, not i can relax and enjoy being creative with the rest of it.
I’ll be starting down this road soon in an 883 hugger I’d like to give some pep to.
Hi Del, I have a 2013 XL883R Roadster, How can I make it louder and sounds deeper in a cheapest way.
Easy fix Rasheed, fit a pair of Vance & Hines Short Shot slip ons on to it, you don't need to do anything else, it'll be loud and deep and am sure the sound will be exactly what you want!
@@Moonfleet41 Thanks for quick replay, are they expensive? how much they go for and where can I find it I have to ship it to Jordan
Great, a full success! Excellent job, fantastic camera work, just a pleasure to watch and listen to! Greetings from Zurich, Andy
Hey Andy, thank you so much for your kind words, we're glad you're enjoying the process, hope you're looking forward to a ride somewhere over the weekend! Take care and ride safe, D&Px
Great job - my husbands going to put big bore kit on mine soon. Can you tell me please what that ratchet /driver is you were screwing the air box on with as looks useful! Thanks
Sounds good Del .looking forward to seeing in in a few weeks 😀
Thanks buddy, really looking forward to seeing you both, it's been a long time aye !!
top drawer Del!! Good to see a sportster back on the agenda!!! Just a comment 9not a gripe!!!) 10 mins is just a bit too short!!! I miss the longer vids!!
Sorry Phil, i appreciate the feedback, but these current videos are really time heavy behind the scenes getting all the logistics in order, ordering and waiting for parts and materials.. but it's done and running now and we can look forward to the creative fabrication stuff that does make longer videos.. Thanks as always for your support.. !
'Beautiful Beast' she is!! Can't wait for the customizing part to begin. Appreciated Del & Pen.
Thanks Shaun, happy it fired right up and ran smooth. Have a great weekend mate and keep safe.
A Harley that dont have oilspill...... You have done something wrong mate:0).......Great work Dell, and what a sound :)
Thanks mate👍, they've been oil tight since about 1985..! lol!
Iv been trying to watch the whole series… question does this bike have cams?
Don’t you wanna pull the plugs and pump some oil into the system With the starter before the first fire.
Not sure if you watched any of the other videos in this series, any of the engine assembly.. but everything was coated in assembly lube for the exact reason of preventing a dry start..!
@@Moonfleet41 nah I didn’t, this just came up in the recommended section.
Even with those old tatty mufflers on it sounded mint, can't beat that sound mate 👍
Too right buddy!
Sounds bloody evil with those slash cut pipes on it!
Thanks mate, she has the right voice now!
I expected nothing less, but hey.....nice result!! Looking forward to how the rest of this restoration goes!
Hi Allen, thank you for your kind words, and yes, really happy with the result, not it's ready to be stripped for restoration..!
Nice job on the engine but I didn’t expect anything else, great series 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you very much Pete, glad you're enjoying it.
Hey Del, do you have a video on Harley 88 oil pumps or cam repair/ replacement?
Sadly not Robert, it's not a task that has come up since we've been making YT videos, but there are a fair few out there that could help you.
Nice job Del just purchased a Zr7 Kawasaki 2004 in mint condition my self looking forward to playing with it
Sounds like a fun street bike mate, have fun with it. !
That a very healthy potato potato sound coming from that rebuilt engine Del excellent work so far really looking forward to the customisation part of this build.
Thanks Freddie, happy it fired up and ran smooth, no problems, so mission accomplished.. !
Hi thanks for sharing , Do you use synthetic or mineral oil ? Thanks
I'm using Rock Oil TRM fully synthetic!
@@Moonfleet41 Thanks!!
Big big smile , getting the notification about this video in my Abo. What a feeling to push that button after doing that kind of job, I can tell… Thanks to you both !!! Again a piece of art, the way you are presenting and sharing these moments ! Awesome 😍
Thank you so much for your kind words mate, we're glad you enjoy it!
Really Kwel !! No gas ! Wait gas coming !! Vroom !! There she blows !! I felt my home ground shaking !! It be more realistic if we fans were there !!
Too right buddy, it'd be lovely to have you hear for the event, I hope you were able to enjoy it, it was your previous comments that inspired me to put the open pipes on for the second fire up so you could enjoy it too... take care and have a great weekend.
@@Moonfleet41 .. you got that right… I hooked up my phone to Bluetooth speaker, turned it full blast… can feel the rambling. Really Kwel… enjoyed it!!
@@Goldwing1500rider That's awesome, we're so glad it worked that way for you, we spoke about it when we were filming and i made sure we captured the sound in the best possibly quality for you.. !
Great Video top job Engine sounds sweet I look forward to the next video Del 👏👌👍
Thanks Chris👍, it's a great fun project!
Excellent choice in an oil filter!
huh never seen someone filled up a filter like that. the only reason why I would own a Harley is for the sound(prefer the shovelhead sound), potato potato potato.
bloody well done del , you really can't beat that sound can you, I'll b running my glide in next weekend whooooooooooooo lol
Dead right, no sound like it, 950 and chuckling along happy..! Good luck with your running in, it's a momentous time mate.!
BTW--I liked that socket driver you’re using… awesome!!
Thanks buddy! 👍 handy little item.
What was all that white smoke upon first start up? Did that concern you?
Oily hand prints burning off mate !
@@Moonfleet41 Thank you! Amazing content.
looking forward to your ideas for the project Del
Did it not need heat cycling first?
What? Did you not watch the video?
Clearly not properly
Working temperature, cooled down for two hours to 20c core temp, working temp again, then drained the oil.!
Good morning Penny and You Del 🤗 Del When You Started Up Your Baby It Was Music To My Ears. Love The Sound. Have A Great Day and An Awesome Weekend. Always Ride Safe.
Thank you so much Paul, always a relief to crank it over for the first time and it all goes well. Thank you so much for your kind words of support as always.. take care and have an Awesome weekend too.. D&Pxx
Class 👍🏻cannot Waite for the strip down and what’s to come cheers dell All the best mark 🇬🇧🍺👍🏻
Thanks Mark, glad you're enjoying it buddy. !
Idea for a future build. Would like to see you work on a Vstar bobber build.
Sounding good. So far, going well. Look forward to the next videos.
Thanks buddy👍
Great video Del. I had a big smile when the bike started. The bike sounded great especially with other exhaust and after the idle was adjustment. Have a weekend. Cheers.
Thanks mate. Glad you enjoyed it, i was more than pleased with that outcome after all the hard work.. Have a great weekend too mate, and keep safe.
Never any doubt Del, never any doubt. Always knew it was going to be spot on. Brilliant mate well done. Looking forward to next video👍
Thanks mate 👍, the fire up was a happy moment for sure!
What an amazing project!
Hi Del congratulations mate she sounds beautiful Your big smile said it all Hope you Pen have a awesome weekend
Thanks Dean, glad you enjoyed, we are also enjoyign this project very much! Have a great weekend, ride safe!
Well done, Del! Always such a relief and happy grin when they fire up that 1st time! ...and it sounds just like a Harley should!
Thanks Martin, nothing like those first few beats of life, was really happy with how smooth and quiet it was! Hope you're well there, ride safe, D&Px
Great work as usual ,I do like the lime green multi ratchet , chatlardey .
Thanks buddy. 👍
I don't think there is any point in straight through pipe's. You might like the sound but it does not mean every one else has to listen to it.
I think I would have to go do SOME miles on it before I take it apart. Just got to use that new engine a bit. Well done. I haven’t gone this far on a bike yet, but I will. 😀
Go for it buddy, it'll make you proud of your own work on another level.. tyres are badly cracked and perished, and it's on a SORN now too, so no rides for me on this one... but it's all the more incentive to get it done aye. !
I saw it! The smile of the happy person at 5.28 of the video. Yeah, job done- brilliantly -as usual. And I am just another fan of the channel,but nevermind the pipes. It runs as it should. Thank you guys!
Thanks again Boril, it was a happy moment after all the hard work, and very pleased with the smooth running and leak free too.! Thank you for your support as ever..
That's brilliant would you ever consider going and helping people who's been subjected to poor workmanship or bad mechanics like me

Glad you like them!
Is that trm oil better than amsoil Del?.... have you ever heard of tribodyn?. Is trm better than tribodyn?. Tribodyn is some pretty damn amazing stuff....
What a wonderful debate, I actually haven't had any experience of Tribodyn, but I hear nothing but good things about TRM, it's a race developed oil and exceeds in all the right places and, of course, read up on Amsoil, specially for Harleys, and I would say it's top drawer... specially in hot climates on those air cooled engines...! But it's all opinion in the end, the only fast rule is that new oil is better than old oil so don't neglect changing it, but I guess you knew that!
@@Moonfleet41 thank you for the reply sir. I appreciate your response to my comments. I haven't found a dealer in America for trm oil yet. I use Lucas 20/50 in my road king twin cam now cause tribodyn is around 25 dollars US., and that's a bit to much money at this time man., but I do have the tribodyn 75/140 in the Trans, it eliminates the harsh first gear clunk, and the shifts are butter smooth, but it is also 25$ a quart. If I can find trm I'm gonna try it. Take care man. Can't wait to see the harley all finished
I had the same benefit of smooth changes and the soft first engagement with thick Amsoil gear oil.
Brilliant loved it as always hope your doing well and penny
Glad you enjoyed it Martin, and thanks for asking, we're keeping well.
