Reading it sober I now understand the first one and second one.Well I love all things mechanical, both my grandpas and my uncle having been ships engineers although one grandpa specialised in the sprung bearing(s) that the propshaft on a ship has to turn in as it exits the hull. So more landbased.
But no two were alike, so one minute he was down in the bilges getting filthy helping the guys take em off, then measuring up for a new one, then he was back in his suit negotiating the purchase of one with the owner or captain, then back in the bilges supervising the fitting of the new one. He did this for most of his working life, although weirdly he started by training as a butcher! He did it all through the war too so that wasn't at all easy, tons of pressure and spare parts etc not easy to get hold of.
So a control cable going through a transom and a propshaft going through the stern of a much bigger ship, they are still things that need to do a job while keeping the water out. Hence my interest!
A heavy morning mist hanging around 'ere. Still humidly warm though.Morning all. First wash done and out on the line. It's beautiful and peaceful this morning.

No, you'll be alright 'cos it is saving it up for me when I go off for a break in a couple of weeks time.Morning All.
Another lovely day.
I suspect we are having this weather NOW, so that the gods can tip rain down all over me while I am out cycling next week.
Have a lovely day!
Mornin all.
Dont forget the sunscreen

Enjoy your day folks whatever you choose to do.
Anything that's needing done or did it sail right through.
Congrats!.... not by crossing his palm with silver either I imagine.
