forgot to say last night ... our trip to Newport Friday, for Pam, was 'successful' ... in that it got done ... she's sore but better than expected .. took the dressing off this morning, as per instructions ....

6 dissolve-able internals and 8 that'll come out next Friday .... a mole she's had all her life, about 6mm across, just in front of her ear ... but quite flat ... caught it with a comb, doing her hair several weeks ago and scalped it :( .....it promptly went berserk and when she went in on Friday, the best description I can give you is ...... imagine pushing a pencil into the side of her head and the only thing left showing was the 'rubber' ... about 8mm dia. and a good 10mm protruding :oops: .... was weird .... anyway, as the dermatological consultant suspected, was deep rooted and needed quite an 'open up' to deal with. Consultant was quite surprised at its growth in four-ish weeks:oops:
been sent off for biopsies .... we have our fingers crossed :rolleyes::unsure:

trouble with gear oil is ..... the bloody smell of hypoid :oops::sick: .... I'd be favoring a much lighter oil TBH Alex, well scrubbed in if the carbon black is still on the plate ....... if it's a CR4 plate (bright, cold rolled) oil and kero mix very lightly applied with a rag - regularly ;)
WD is only a water dispersant and not a lubricant, so I'd give the rest the same treatment ;) ... as when it dries out it offers zero protection :( and does so fairly quickly

Take it that window has a roller shutter on it ?:unsure: tea leaf heaven other-wise :mad:

Yeah, it was a bit whiffy. What sort of stuff would you recommend? The WD has been working quite well so far.

Yep, when I had the workshop renovated before we moved in (the floor was roughened concrete, the windows were metal framed single pane units) I bought roller shutters that would fit entirely within the gap. The box sits inside the window hole, and then I fitted uPVC units that I had manufactured also to fit (once I'd done the shutters).

There's another one over the other side, but I rarely open them unless I'm there for a while - which considering I bought my house shortly after finishing this, is fairly rare!

I also had the floor skimmed & painted, ceiling plasterboarded, insulated, and a loft installed. Lots of crap up there!

WD is fine as long as it's regular ... you could wax the benches, but'd need to be wiped clean with thinners or panel wash first and again done regularly ... or sili spray :rolleyes: ... or a teflon dry lube, but much dearer :( .... use is the best thing to keep the surface :ROFLMAO::p

Cyberprog,

If you think Pam’s ear looks bad just wait to see what Druid looks like after he arrives home with a big blue trailer. 😀😀😀

I spoke with Ollie today. Phase one of the transport operation is being carried out tomorrow.

Yeah, Wax wouldn't work for me I don't think. Are we talking like air line oil or similar when you say a light oil? Just trying to figure out what to buy y'see ;)

It’s amazing what can be done with surgery nowadays. I’m living proof of it, having been through a 5hr OP 5years ago this month!

something along those lines'd be fine, or a little engine oil thinned out with a little kero ... but'll smell a little for a while ... won't rust though (y)

I have MASSIVE respect for our medics ... saved my life 9 years ago and continue to do so weekly.

Had 4 hrs 'on the table' when i was 21 .... didn't know it at the time, but was related to and one of the best indicators of/for my Gaucher's disease
...
had all me teeth out ... were so soft, used to break them eating bread (the body's inability to assimilate/absorb calcium is a classic symptom).
Had 28 teeth out and 32 stitches in :eek: ... was in a mess for a while .... :oops::rolleyes: :( ... surgeon said I had 'OFFICALLY' got a very small mouth :ROFLMAO: ....
after 8 weeks of healing ... and no teeth :) .... the new ones were a bit of a shock and I was beginning to doubt what i'd done .. like a mouth full of rocks, :oops: but I got used to 'em ... ;)
not the sort of thing i'd have done a second time .... but the best thing i ever did .... (y)
very few people ever realise my choppers ain't mine and I will eat anything (except sticky toffees or Wrigleys - and that's another tale) anyone with dentures who says they can't eat this. that or the other, ain't trying:giggle::giggle:

I'm only talking tiny amounts Stock and don't smell as bad as cherry .... plus it's a lubricant of sorts ... just thins the viscosity of engine oil a bit;)
