Good stuff. Glad it went well.
The second image was supposed to have been a 2 minute video of 9 TVRs valiantly trying to keep up with a 6.7 litre turbocharged hearse arriving at the Crematorium, but I can't seem to post the fast moving clip.
Tomorrow it's the turn of my Baby Brother...
Good morrow fellow Trivialites 
Slept like a log last night after going to bed early, obviously needed it, but awoken to find it's still raining!!!
A nice turn out there glenrobbo, and a lovely send off for your brother in law, I hope that today goes as well, thoughts are with you and your family my friend.
Interesting pequod, I strangely thought that fishing vessels were called boats!! I'm guessing these bad boys are on the industrial sized side and not a little two man job!!! Excellent work by the way, I used to work with a chap who'd spent a few years working on a trawler, hard, hard graft that is, huge respect for those that do it!!

Frustrating day - need a large gin soon.
Travel agent, local hospital, covid travel clinic in Christchurch, testing lab all saying different & contradictory things about what & when I need for flight to Germany . If they tested my blood pressure right now, I'd fail on that count. No hair left to pull out.
Would quite like to break something.

Morning all 
A clutch of grandchildren. With all smoke coming out of the bellhousing I'd wager, if Big George has any say in the matter.
Hope today goes well, old boy.

Good morning awl.
It looks like we will be having a rainy day here darn sarf.
Tears from Heaven.
Here is a bit of sunshine from wedneday:
Marvellous. I'm not certain if there is a collective noun for grandchildren, but I think "clutch" would be appropriate there. It looks like we will be having a rainy day here darn sarf.

Good morning shipmates!
Up early as too excited to slumber in my bunk when I have another ship incoming...
A marvellous collection there p, excellent stuff.Up early as too excited to slumber in my bunk when I have another ship incoming...
Incidentally, should you require any more empty bottles in the future then speak to Bobbers.
According to the "Skill Set" board in the hangar, one of his attributes is "Master Bottle Emptier"
Worth bearing in mind.

Excellent tee there Bomma!! And I believe my skill set is correct!!!
Slopes, you make a valid point!!!
I've spent most of yesterday and this morning reprogramming and proving out a job, it's a complex job worked about a centre line with a blind hole on the opposite side of a bore which has to be in line with the detail I've programmed, proved out the detail in a piece (I before e) of spare material so I know that's correct, now I've machined the detail on one of the components and step drilled/flat bottom drilled the blind hole through my detail, took it to inspection who informed me that the CMM isn't working as it's currently covered by a tarpaulin because the roof leaks!!!
