The yesterday was the other son's birthday, Jeremy, and I was needed to help replace an Alternator belt in his Mazda Protege5... So far yesterday has been the hottest day of the year topping out at 34C... Full sun and the car parked on very Black blacktop... The best part was Jeremy thanking me because he is learning more and more about wrenching...:metal
Glad Hannah is eager to lean as she builds, that is truly a blessing!!!
Now I get to change the oil in our car and probably Geena's car as well and then some truck time... 
Cheers!!!  |

Thanks guys. I really enjoy it.
Hannah texted a photo on Wednesday of herself proudly standing next to her boyfriends VW Golf with it loaded with pallets. So I guess its tools out again over the weekend.
I may have found some horse shoes too which will see her start welding a bit.
In other news....... Regarding Nicola's WW1 commemorative display.
Seems most people get it. One "lovely chap" on UKGSER did not get it. And managed to stall the thread with a hugely negative reply. But eveywhere else people appreciate it.
Whats nice is that Nicola's manager shared it with her regional manager who shared it with the zonal manager and they all were blown away that she made the effort.
She was also approached by "Funeral Service Times" an industry publication for August to write up a short article and submit photos to go with it. She was shocked but I was really pleased that someone saw fit to escalate her efforts.
Too many people these days are too lazy and cannot be arsed to make an effort.
Its always easier to break down than build up or go the extra mile.
Thanks for all the support.
