Thank-you. I realize this now. I forgot the age bracket mentality, to whom I was attempting communication. The best clue that reminded me of this, in the last post: "Don't give a flying fart whether they live or die". As Spock would say..."Illogical". (Get it? "Ill"-Logical")...oh, never mind...:nonod:Quote:

Oh yes Fuji-------lest I forget, I still maintain that any old person who Falls/Breaks a hip, PROBABLY does not give a flying fart one way or another whether they live or die------and as for bringing Spock into it---------he was a Feckin Alien, completely devoid of feelings, or had you forgotten that? ( Oh well ---never mind)
You think I'M cranky Fuji, wait until you come up against WILLABEE , compared to him, I'm a pussy cat -------he is serious "Curmudgeon".
Hold on there Tiger ..... we all know there is only one "King of the Curmudgeon's" and his royal arse resides in England!.Quote:

Stay the course my friend, you're doin' good! :thumbsup:
Take no notice Fuji, he's just softening you up, we used to call him "MR. MODESTO".Quote:

Rent day came and went without me even noticing.
Here we are and it's the weekend already, don't even ask if I'm going to the recycling facility-----that's a done deal and one of my favourite pastimes, guess I'm a bit like a kid in a sweet shop.
Last day of the football season and the hooligans that go with it, time for the cricket season and a little tranquility.
spring finally came in with a bang, today we have temperatures in the high seventies------this time last week, we had frost and sleet.
Talk more over the course of the weekend, have a good one !

Sorry 'bout the piccie folks and its arse upwards to boot--------as my granddaughter Casey says-------you're crap with a camera grandad.
Carved the craft out of solid inch thick alloy, made an oversize Blown Hemi-----blasted pipes took me a day to do---------Visited Carrera a few years back, the base is a chunk of marble I cut and polished from there.
Still have to find an inner tube I can cut the drive belt out of--------like Christmas------it's coming.

I tell you, this kids like Jonathan Joe, with a mouth like an O and a wheelbarrow full of surprises!!!!!
Seriously Dave, I don't have many more "Concepts" left in me, so they have to go to "Deserving cases",---never learned how to do any carving or sculpture until I was damn near 75. Now I enjoy it so much, I rush out to the shop each morning and beaver away until something tangible appears in my mind and I try and make it.
A month ago I was offered a big bag of gold to do another 1906 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost like the one I did for Rich, I pondered a while and was almost convinced, but decided "Been there, Done that" again, maybe one day, as old Fuji says it's an age related mentality thing.
Jackie, Not sure where I've been - oh yah, remodeling the bathroom for the one who is always obeyed -Quote:

You know I usually do two or three before I ever get near to getting it right, well this time, I've only done the one, it ain't exactly what I set out to do, but it's close.
Haven't come across a car or truck inner tube yet to do the timing belt, so I started on the "Wing" concept mount for the "REDBIRD", Jesus wept, have I ever got my knickers in a twist with that one.
Was up at GEICO workshops and grandson Craig gave me a couple of chunks of a carbon aero foil------------first off, I knackered my new USA, metal blade, then because of the angle of dangle and four hours of hard graft, left the workshop damn near in tears having achieved nothing but sore fingers.
Little things, set to try us, Sei-la-VEI .
My FaceTime is Jackwilson@macace.net.
