To the King of swiveled snapshots..

A birthday is just the first day of another 365 day journey around the sun. Enjoy the trip.

From your favorite Smartarse...

Sex, as my sainted mother used to say--------if God made anything better, then he kept it for himself ? And mum was a smartarse too. Knew a lot about a lot of things-------bit like someone I know who can "SWIVEL"-----but he keeps it to his bloody self !

Thanks Mark, oh yeah, the "Zest" bit is alive and well. How many 85 year olds can say they had midday sex--------honest to Murgatroyd-----I kid you not-------on a stack of bibles.
Reason it has to be midday--------if it's in the morning, I'm knackered all day, embers take a lot of blowing at night and I'm usually asleep before the fireworks !

Happy Birthday Jackie sounds like you have worked up quite a thirst today`I do hope you have already got your travel insurance booked for this next year.

Like I said, I can help you with the swivel thing, but I cannot do it while being banished to the naughty step. Why don't you give Gene and myself a full and unconditional pardon and then we can talk some business. After all, the criminals in this country get pardoned every time a president leaves office. I have to believe whatever Gene and I have done pales in comparison...

Was up and about in the shop by 8:30am--------managed to get a flyer, but then the phone started ringing and then another and another------work rate went like I lost a bank of cylinders, by noon, I had achieved very little.
Had an hours nap and a bit of "rummy dumpy" then went to the old workshop to do the last of the clearing up-------was knackered after an hour and there was still shed loads to do!
Called it around four and trundled indoors where there was a bucket full of CC7 and a plate of "Tapas" waiting.
Got a few FACETIME calls from friends and family-----decided just to enjoy the day, not try to beat it!

Both hands at zero, you're free to go, run what you brung, go for it --------you're off the naughty step.
Now show me what you can do, time to preach how you practice.
Nearly the end of my first day being 85------to tell the truth, I don't feel any different to what I did yesterday------I started the day a bit like the road to hell -----(full of good intentions) ------ but it all turned to worms as the day progressed. Been the story of most days since I moved here, start a job , then have to do three more jobs to get to the stuff I need to do the first one------talk about some days you eat bear ?

Thanks for the birthday wishes Fichrman------im easy enough to get along with, past my sell by date by a long chalk.
If your into R/C's-----maybe you got some titchy props lying about that you no longer have a need for! I got a bunch of " Concepts" just crying out for wheels..

I have several smaller props that have outlived there usefulness to me, let me take a peak and see what I can dig up. Any particular size range your looking for ?

Andy, any size will do, I can make the gear case fit the prop, most of the ones I begged, borrowed or stole, came with four mill bores. But I'll take anything.
Just hate paying $25 for a prop that's only for show. Thanks for taking time out to look anyway.

Really made big strides in the shop-----kept going till noon, but I could feel the dreaded"Lurgy" creeping into my system. Nose running like a tap -------itchy throat, swallowing all the times, headache, sweating, it's got to be three years since I even had a cold let alone a bout of flu ! This has all the symptoms of a DEUSEY.
Never went back in the shop-------chucked it down every bit of the day, so I turned the new gas fire onto full chat and played I pads.
Read all the birthday wishes and felt very honoured that so many of you had taken the time out to send me good wishes----------thank you one and all, if I feel a tad better tomorrow I'll send you an update-------had intended to post a couple of pickies of progress-------but you know the old adage-------BEST LAID PLANS OF MICE AND MEN.
At one time yesterday, I had four FaceTime folk trying to call me at the same time !
Bolted down the bench drill, polisher, grinder, and the linisher--------in five Years at the last shop, I never managed to bolt down the linisher, had the damn thing walking down the bench from one end to the other.
I also had a mad fit of depression, bored a couple of 10mill holes for each machine, took off the plugs and hid the wires under the bench, then reconnected the plugs again!
If I ever get the whole shop up and functional, I won't know I was born.
Feel like crap, so I'm heading between the sheets-----goodnight all and MYGGWY. J.
