General housework, playing nurse & trying to remove a rotten & rounding brake line on the surf for mot & cleaning other brake lines (they are sooooo picky over here for mud under your car)

Well I've survived my course, all I have to do is get up early to get to York for 8 for breakfast then 8:45 teaching some kids on a bunch of flight sims.

Trouble is I wanna get working on my truck.

Rick, I sympathise. Climbing, felling, coppicing, clearing.... I couldn't find anyone to keep up with me.....even at 64........

Watching the rugby.

Jim/John, no they do not make em like they used to, this guy today was a laugh, he looked at me and decided that he could piss over my head, when I said I was not going to carry a 47kg bottle of propane up those stairs without help, (we had a hoist for the scaffold lift) so he carried this bottle on his own, but I could see when he got to the top it was too much for him, (he did not know I could see him from the roof), but the overall picture is he could only work in short bursts, ten mins on 20 mins off plus smoke breaks and drink breaks, whereas I keep going steady all day, Rick

My old man had his own bussiness as a flat roofer he did it for years, I always remember as a little kid going to see him in hospital after an accident with a bucket of that hot bitumen/tar, he fell carrying something and put both his hands into a freshly poured bucket of the stuff, it was just in the wrong place.. Needless to say his hands were bandaged for a real long time..
