Public holiday today, means we had a long weekend, which means two bootfairs, one yesterday and one today.
Yesterday was massive, and delivered nothing for me, a few ornamental plates for Craigs new house and Sally got a very pretty teapot and milk jug and sugar pot for her own use.
Today she had gone to do overtime.
I was awake at 03.50 and ended up chatting with Dennis as I could not get back to sleep.
Bootfair was much smaller, and again not really anything spectacular as I was really just looking for a Cherry Bomb exhaust, as I have seen at least two over time, usually around the £5.00 to £10.00 mark
However, I did find a super sized wheel spanner/ or wheel brace for £2.00 that had to come home, as I have a new home in mind for it.
And six new, unused coffee mugs, 50p each or £2.00 for all of them. Guess I paid £2.00 then.
Same guy had the massive dice or is it die and the pretty wooden box.
Box for Sally, and dice may become a gearknob on the Rezin Rockit.
.
And in other News, while rummaging in the big shed (large tools like engine hoist, engine stand, metalfolder, cab trolley etc) to get the canvas out for the media blasting on the Rezin Rockit chassis, a rather heavy part of the cab trolley steel slipped where I had it propped on top of another item and bypassed the patented Grizz Toeteckters. Thankfully a drop of no more than 200mm
Not at all sore or debilitating, guess I got lucky. This time.
And then much more importantly, I am awaiting with much excitement the delivery of a canary.
Think back to the miners who carried a canary into the mines to monitor noxious gasses underground.
In effect, the canary was SACRIFICED to save the miners lives.
Nothing that dramatic here.
But our own KevFromWales on RetroRides is hopefully on his way in a 300 mile delivery trip to bring me a donor for the Rezin Rockit
