Rent day again-----at least it's not raining-----Murphy doesn't do cold and frosty mornings, likes to stay indoors------preferably in bed. Huh ! Chance would be a fine thing. Not really, they say you die in bed, and I like to keep that ole bastard at arms length, at least for another decade or so, then I'll review the situation .
Dad was 92 when he popped his clogs. I have to live longer than he did as a matter of principle !

Sun's up, so I should be as well, can't lie here all day contemplating my naval, car boots calling and I'm still of the opine the workshop is one of the best places on Gods earth, does it for me every time!

Damned if I know how to read that Stavros, you mean I'm a boring old fart who puts you to sleep, or you can't go to sleep 'till you read it. .?

Had one of those stellar days at the boot sale, could have spent a fortune , was a bear day.
Found the makings of a beautiful ladies trophy, so Lynne and Doreen and the rest of you ladies, book a place at the Tavares golf tourney.
Marks boat is coming along nicely, not certain he'll like it but it'll make a nice golf trophy anyway!

Whoa!!! You just woke me up. Even I might play if Mark is giving his 50' boat away as a golf prize at Tavares. - Seeroy

There ya go again Stavros-------it's only a concept, and that's if Mark don't like it anyway !

Let it be known there are some nice trophies already to play for and there's still 7 months to go !

Got nothing going across the pond as yet, but somebody somewhere might want me to cobble something up for them.
If you got a half decent picture of the tower at Lake X I could maybe talk Fujimo into forking out a fistful of $s for a "Concept".

Had a day off from creating stuff, bought a wood vice six months ago and it's laid outside the wood store since then, untidy, unloved and quite frankly a bloody eyesore. So I stripped it down to the last item, de rusted it, greased it-------halfway through the rebuild but it's time out, just needed a change from the routine, like you do.

Out for lunch tomorrow yet again, I've been like an eating machine this last month, seems every other day we eat out-----never ever been on a diet in my life, but the top button is getting harder to fasten and I have to yank harder on my belt, must be trying to tell me something !

Will post a couple of piccies on Friday, need to do it , just in case I forget HOW, BESDES IM GETTING WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS . and forgot to hit arrow!
Better put the light out, turn off the iPad and get some shuteye, rambling again, MYGGWY .J.

I'm not talking about the concept model. I'm talking about Mark's actual boat.

[seeroy]

by the way, I just had one of my famous "Cosmos" and I have no idea what I'm talking about.

This is what I was talking about-----sorry 'bout your bad luck Stavros !!!!!

The real thing''ll set you back close to $2,000,000,

Maybe you should think again about the "CONCEPT".

Steve, kinda got bogged down with Marks boat, spent a lot of time on fiddley farty things, like jockey wheels, winches and light boards, most of em are made, just have to fit them, but I needed a day away, you just got a couple of the "PROGRESS" piccies.

By the way, the fourth bunch of this seasons daffodils finally broke cover!

Here tis

thanks for the frontal Phoggie Stavros, is it possible you have a side view so I won't be just guessing ------domed Windows will be interesting concoctions ----rest is fairly straight forward.

If I remember correctly, all 4 sides are the same except only one ladder
