Druidic Dabblings and General Twaddle !!

Lol, that cat has a certain "look" to him!

Happy belated birthday, things round here have been a bit hectic with work. Had to go to the datacentre for the first time in 2 months on weds, and back to the other one tomorrow night for round 2! Only critical work allowed, and the non-critical stuff is piling up!

Cheers Alex .. guessed you'd been busy ....

sooner or later your lot are gonna have to start tackling the non-critical ... or you'll never catch up

Tell me about it. Got £130k's worth of gear to go in and can't do it atm!

whipped the adapter off the 3 footer, this morning and grabbed the six ...

easier to paint the underside, with it in the air, on the dipper ..

and dropped it in the finished pile

then ..... emptied me favorite Geith ... into a small tip skip I have sat ... so's I could get some grey on the bulk of it ... 'fore it gets pissed on tonight and the next five days, if the forecast is to be believed

got the bosses to weld on yet ... and i can finish off the grey after ...

if we're having as much wetness as predicted, thought I'd better move the VA-r from where i'd sat it ... can get a bit wet where it was, if it's heavy/sustained enough to fill the drains ...

gonna need some more HBZP to get its buckets done though .... getting close to the bottom of the second 5 litre tin ... will have to see if Firwoods're working tomorrow ??

 

[Cyberprog]

Lots of shortages for things like paint atm. Think it's a combination of factories on shutdown and shortage of plastic pellets for tins - lots switching back to metal cans atm.

 

[V8Druid]

into week 12 ATM .... 's a long time not to have been anywhere, other than the top of our drive ...
Pam starting to get more PO-ed than me .... doesn't sound so bad 'til you say it's a quarter of a year
I understand why and don't really wanna take my chances, if I/we ain't had it ... but !!
At some point we're gonna have to venture out ... but HTF do you decide when??
Not going to get the time back .. but don't want to lose what we have left to come either

Helen is gutted because she still can't see her Mum because we can't go to Wales!

Well, I can, I have a pretty letter from Welsh Water that says I can go wherever I please, but that doesn't help her!

Doesn't help that their birthdays are approaching at the end of the month

still a 5 mile radius limit here supposedly ... one household can visit another, outdoors, but only local ...
have had the odd 'visitor', aside from our 'team shopper' .. but over the gate, at the end of the drive, mostly, 30 ft apart.

the odd exceptions have been similarly distanced on the lawn .... with us on the patio .... anything they use, or touch, gets left where they put it down for 2-3 days, before going in the dishwasher for a scalding.
The cats are kept well away from anyone and only we handle them

Probably a bit OTT that, either throw em in the dishwasher or leave em for 2-3 days

- video you might enjoy Druid. I like his little drill press, the 3foot Victor...

does he actually use any of that gear ... no dust, no swarf .. nothing and all spotless looks more like a museum .... some nice stuff though

LOL yer cheeky bugger ..... that is OCD spotless and polished ..... the jaws on the big lathe and all the tooling looked like they'd never done a job .... nice shop though

 

[V8Druid]

much to my surprise 't was dry this morning, so chucked the geith on its side ...

and nailed the bosses on .....

flipped it ...

for t'other side ..

touched up the damage to the grey stuff, finished off the rest of it, cleaned the bosses with the flapwheel, got 'em well greased and parked it with the rest of the gear, that's been getting the 'treatment '

this was the contents of the geith, I mentioned yesterday

handy little skip, but just not big enough for most things
rain started about eight this evening .. and there's summat like 40+mil forecast for the next couple of days, so doubt there'll be a lot more done this week

Yeah, he does a lot of prototyping I think, if I had a shop like that I'd make sure to keep it tidy.

there's tidy Alex and then there is OCD clinically clean ... you could conduct surgery in there .... I'm all for a tidy workplace, but you'd want a couple of full time cleaners, just to keep on top of the atmospheric dust, in a building of that size!
