Not a good day yesterday—— Another friend from back in the day, Jim Peverelle died, boat builder, racer, family man —— loved by everyone. RIP JIM.
Had my last two teeth removed yesterday——— damned things didn’t want to go—— they’d been there over eighty years and refused to go quietly. Was necessary for me to lay down for a spell, didn’t sleep at all well last night———- got a mouth like an abattoir this morning !
Might just take it easy this morning.
Wandered in and out the shop several times —— nothing solid planned——- one of those days when everything is elusive and “aimless”
Mainly Because I cant get focussed—— or enthusiastic about anything!
Mouth still like a shovelled out chicken shed !
Probably get back to you tomorrow—— .
Sorry about the chicken shed Jackie. This might focus you though. Cats out of the bag now...

Today Her Majesty and I had lunch at SOUTH LODGE Lower Beeding.West Sussex.
It Was a Christmas present from Jilly’s Daughter Catherine—— like dining out in a bygone age——
If you want to know what the place is like——- lookit up on the dot-dot !
Managed to get a couple of hours in the shop—— always seem to be doing the “BLUE ARSED FLY“routine !
Was a while back——- around twelve years ago, that “time”—— walked out and left me!
All my life , I had time——- spare time—- play time—— quality time—— a time for anything and everything and anyone !
But that was some time ago———— I’ve peed my pants because I didn’t have the time to go “Potty”——
I don’t call my kids anymore———- I just don’t have the time anymore—— maybe they’ll call me——- but that’s not going to happen!
aAs for visiting friends——— forget it ! Most of them are dead and buried—— the odd one or two that are still alive and kicking——— same old thing, maybe I’ll call them tomorrow!??? Don’t have the time today———- so, I’ll tell you what——— if time decides it’s time to leave——— don’t let it——- tie the bugger to the bed post with gaffer tape———- if it protests——- tape it’s damn mouth shut—— but at all cost——- keep it close———believe me when I tell you——we are all running out of time!
Ok all you geeks out there who are Aux Fait with 3D P’s—— I got me an itzy bitzy problem——- the three bladed props I keep churning out look like net curtains!
Set on the lowest speed—— (1) pre heat—— table and nozzle temperatures all reach the readout temp— everything in the gardens lovely——- except it’s churning out crap propellers——- why ?
To me—— it seems like it’s not getting enough product for the speed the nozzles travelling——- So—— how do Speed up the delivery —— or slow down the nozzle ?
It takes seven minutes to churn out a prop !
Weekends here again——- along with 70 mph winds—— rain and floods——- jolly hockey sticks!
Dont make any difference when I’m in the shop boogying along —— having a good time whilst doing nothing in particular.
Might get back to you later—— can’t lie here all day—- rigor Mortis sets in if I stay in one place for too long !

Just never can tell tell what’s going to turn up at the car boot sale on a Saturday morning!
Looks like everyone’s gone to the moon——- nobody’s home these days——- if they are, they’re not answering the door.
Went to Goodwood yesterday afternoon——- did eight lengths of the pool——- didn’t ache much this morning, feeling quite pleased with myself .
Uninterupted day in the shop today———— as usual, I have more projects on the go than you can shake a stick at !
Bought a huge trunk to store the Concepts in———- must have fifty or more with no place to keep them———- I’ve still got one trunk with around twenty pieces in that I packed up ready to ship to Mark except he don’t want them———- and with the weight around a 120 lbs the cost of shipping will be around a hundred pounds—or $130 — it would appear I have a small problem ?
Thanks TT —— Im still a sprog with today’s technology—— so it’s with some relief you immediately came up with an answer.
Yes—— I downloaded the file onto my iPad and then onto the 3DP memory card.
Props were like a perfectly formed sponge——- all floppy and see through!
Oh! I almost forgot. Happy Birthday.:smiletest:
