Again, no you are not the only one you will be pleased to hear.

I log in pretty much everyday.

Down to about 300 ltrs of oil before I have to start buying Dino., so not a lot happening on the bio front.

Just starting an electronic gearbox project for the lathe though.  It's pretty interesting, but it's a bugger getting parts.  Trying to order most bits at a premium from UK or Europe and it's still taking ages to get delivered.

I've decided I like this new world we have, little traffic going to work, although I've noticed it increasing this last week despite what the 5:00pm briefings tell us.  No one calling in allowing long periods of workshop time.  It's going to be a big shock when the restrictions are lifted … even a partial lifting will spoil this nice quiet way of life.

I look here regularly, we will probaby get a bit more traffic as Paddy has run out of bandwidth already, he must be on a miser low bandwith deal though coz there aint much traffic these days to use much.

Wait 'til you retire you have all the time in the world (what's left that is) to do whatever you want, you can go out in y'little jam jar when the majority of vehicles are in company car parks.

There's always a But though, no weekends (every day's the same) no holiday leave to look forward to and you can't even go off sick.

It's a bugger being retired.   ;D ;D

I'm the same as you Chug and check in regularly.

Disapointing that the bandwidth has been swallowed up already on the other channel. I dare say that donations have dried up and ebay revenue has also been hit following the fall in popularity of our activities.

Even very cheap hosts these days provide an astonishing amount of bandwidth. A forum shouldn't be exceeding it.

Hi chaps.  It's not the best time to offer spare chemicals I guess, but I have a part used 60l drum of methanol with a syphon pump, and some potassium to give to anyone who can use them?  I went electric a little while back and disposed of my (decrepit!) processor, but the chemicals are sitting in the garage unused.  Message me if you're interested. Cheers.
