That's a bummer, hope you're better soon Stoney. Seems to be that proper rest does the trick, have seen people that start moving again too soon are prone to a relapse. Regards,

Life is so precious. I lost one of my good friends and school mates last week. His funeral was today. Fortunately I could watch the service online. This guy played bass in a rock band. Shaved his head had tattoos and looked like a mean bastard. However we never judge a book by it’s cover. He was the most kindest thoughtful man I ever knew. Has a wonderful close and living family I have ever known. It was a privilege to call Bill Bailey a friend. RIP Bill. See you soon.

Get well soon Roger With the flaming rules constraint changing, if you were in SA you'd only have to isolate 3 days! Guess we've got cleaner germs here 😣

Today called in to the local recycle dept depot looking for something to replace my choofer The SS Buckett has given up the ghost after 8 years of high heat and started breaking up on the last trip I didn't want to go back to the weight of a gas bottle so wasn't sure what I was going to use I left there with a helium bottle that is just slightly bigger than a 9kg gas cylinder but about 1/2 the weight I've started cutting it out, helium is inert as you know so no chance of kaboom when cutting, tomorrow the welder comes out and I should hopefully finish it

about 8:30 this morning we were hit with a decent gust of wind. It blew our hatches open. Checked outside and the van next door was on it side. I knew that there was a mum and two kids inside. I went to help. Apart from the park manager not one other person would come out in the rain. This photo taken later from my van as the emergency services got them out. The van was balanced on a box trailer that was parked next to it and needed to be stabilised before they could be removed.

Was just interviewed by 9 and 10 news. Bay be on the box tonight The lady and her children are OK. The ambulance is taking them to hospital for observation. These guys are homeless and are living in this van waiting for public housing. I feel so sorry for them. We gave them some money but that’s not going to help them long term.

Good I you for helping Sid, I've seen the shorts on TV but won't see you as we watch 7 Almost finished the choofer, just testing it out with some heat beads at home and hopefully burning of Some of the blue paint I'll write brush it tomorrow and get some heat proof paint I had a stand for the other one which was a bit of 3mm plate on which I had welded 3 nuts to screw in the legs, with this one I cut the bottom out of the cylinder and welded the stand to it The cylinder is wider than the old Buckett but still fits in the milk crate, just, although I need it a little taller, I'm working on that I made sure to cut the cylinder the right size so that the old wok lid would still fit and i didn't have to get a new one
