He is starting early in the morning. But I also think, he thinks he needs to stay home and keep an eye on me.

Just got in from work. I'm buggered and going to bed early.

If you ever need a lathe you can use mine, but its a little too large to carry in a backpack.

Actually there is some really interesting stuff being done with Stirling Cycle Engines. One day when I retire p'haps...

Yeah, Stirling engines are pretty cool

Thanks! The apprentice's work piece would definitely come to the lathe rather than vice versa

Well I didnt see you there so I guess not!!! Phoenix and I did show up in the car (after riding my bike around town all day in this whether) but no one was home. Went to the pub incase we missed anyone (since we arrived at the work shop just before 7) no one there either. Had a lonely drink with Phoenix and came home.

So much for my first maintance night of the year!!

And that sounds exactly like what he should be doing, keep well!

I did ride across town yesterday to collect a (small) lathe in my backpack in the rain

- not sure if that counts as 'Kiwi tough' or 'Crazy Pom'?

I'm a crazy scots chick! I would definitely say both!

Respect to anybody that got there.

I went by car tonight, but did go!

Yeah, we thought that by 6.30pm no-one else was going to show so we decided to bugger off at 6.45, I had a coffee date anyways, the others piked!

Great and post No1

There is also nothing wrong with training wheels.
