the weather post

[Steve Kerswell]

Clocks sprung forward, the weather sprung back, tipping it down, blowing a hoolie and cold, could it be Easter is coming, all the campers are getting excited at pitching in the rain etc. I want to blast about in the B+. Looks like a  day in the cave.

Think we should all embrace each day with a positive attitude no matter what the weather or what life throws at us ....... feeling rather down, as I have just watched the bloke in the workshop next door to me, go up the road in a hearse. Poor bugger was only 47 years old and died in his sleep, we were chatting about new projects the week before last :-((

you should be good for centurys dayl....:-)

That's true Paul. I've gone back to work, part time, at an old employer, shocked how many of the old school are " missing". Maybe time for me to retire, again :-))

A few years ago, I bought a whole workshop full of tools. I only wanted the lathe and milling machine but I got lots of other stuff too. It had belonged to the seller's father who had been collecting tools for his retirement. He developed motor-neuron disease before he retired and many of the tools had never been used. I decided that I wouldn't make the same mistake, so I bought my first Dutton. I would hate to be on my deathbed and realise that I could have spent more credit!

It's not the money that is stopping me, Daryl, it is the space.

[Steve Kerswell]

Yes, the B+ is tight for space James, but being slim I just slide in :-))

[James Doulton]

In this instance, I meant the garage space, but you would probably be right about the cockpit space too. I need to replace my current shed with a garage (that still looks like a shed).

Annnnnnd back on that weather topic... Been cracking up here today, blazing sun and pleasantly warm until 7.30pm when it hailed for no reason. Not big lumps of ice, oh no... these are like oversized snowflakes, tiny wee snowballs even... It hammered them down until it looked like it had been snowing... then just as suddenly it stopped dead.

lol, It hit to 90's here at my house in Florida today, The spring is over. :-(

[Adrian Southgate]

Jim, stop it, you're just making us jealous 

Its been hail, rain, wind and a huge thunderstorm up here this evening. temperature tonight is 2 degrees but that doesn't explain why the water on the car froze on the way home

Geez Adrian, It's just that my good weather is ending and yours should be about to begin. Shocked to hear it is still that cold over there. Is that normal for this time of the year?
