Afternoon (just) folks :).

So had a few hours in the garage working on a LR:eek: who would have thought that:D nothing serious, but will only say 26yr old plastic on the spares car is no replacement, as its just as broke too (now:oops:).
Anyway enjoyed some garage time and M took the "mud ball" to pick up our frozen goodies:), made it back too:D.
So pie and Humm, what? mash or chips the debate is ongoing at this time;). Up date just been decided:D.

Oh the young coooos have relised that the grass is greener in places tother side of the wire:D, seem to have some very young 1s lately. But the herd has taken down a lot of the ****ty scrub that has grown over the last few years. Lack of local village ponies being grazed, used to be a lovely green ish area:).

Hope all had a good midweek work day:).

On yonder hill there was a coo, it musta moved cause its no there noooooooooo
(Im not getting ma coat im staying) :D
 
...that annoyingly, the imperial threading change gear I bought has been impossible to install on the piece of cr@p chinese mini-lathe and provide a non binding/clashing gear-train.
To add to the grief a woodruff key has gone AWOL so I cannot put it back as it was. :(
UPDATE:
I don't like to be beaten by a problem so I made a new woodruff key by hand, and used a different mix/gear order and now I have it working much better. I can see that the FWD/REV capability of the motor is incompatible with the amount of movement/backlash in the gearbox FWD/REV tumbler gears. I think that providing a harder locking detent for the FWD/REV tumbler set may fix the problem because if I hold it in position by hand it all works fine. :D :D :D
Tomorrow I may try cutting a 24TPI thread on this metric lathe. :D

I found a wee lathe in sweeney auctions & stuck it in my watch list.

Linky not work you need to register

Eye would love it if that append to me. He can have the spare room. Eye would leave the window open so he can come and go as he likes.
All my interior door are always left open so once in he has free run of the bungalow, the trouble is that he doesn't wear a nappy and he can't tell the difference between a closed or open window and is going to end up with headaches if he continues to do it.:rolleyes:
 
....well went to Soton and picked up Wifey's "noo" iPad.:rolleyes: (400 sovs to replace a top of the range thing that has bust after only 4 years!:mad:)
Got back to set up the Waitrose order that will be delivered Friday. Wifey managed to forget that this will be arriving when she will be at the Breast Clinic who will be having a look at her new lump, so this is p!ssing me off massively. I told her I thought we should just cancel the delivery so I could go with her but she insists not.:rolleyes:
Sometimes she drives me clean round the bend.:(
And tomorrow we feck off to London to the Visa interviews. :eek::eek::eek:
I will be taking the wheel chair so she doesn't have to try and walk 1/2 a mile from the NCP car park to the visa place.
Whatever happens once we get back we will be having a meal in a local pub that specialises in food for Coeliacs. So she should be OK for whatever happens the following day.
And it will be my buthday on the 20th. I absolutely do not want to celebrate it but W is insisting.
I've told her, "I'm 66 from now on, OK?"
Anyway finished the mower yessdi. It was harder than I thought, cos I didn't have any 4mm bar, just 40mm set screws, which for a coupla bits weren't long enough. But it'll do for the mo.
Bloody plastic!:mad:
 
I thought of you today as I was introduced to a Bulgarian colleague. I said I chat to a Brit who lives there :) he is a very interesting fellow!

They can be:) ask if he is saving money to go back. We have found not many will talk about the communist days though they have tried to forget:).

If you see him in the morning say “dobro utro” . It won’t get you a smack:p:D it’s good morning :).
