A Very Merry Christmas & A Prosperous New Year
« on: December 23, 2012, 10:43:30 PM »
As you may have noticed, I have not been very active for the last few months, but I did manage to do a bit of posting, although rather limited.

This has been a very personal time for me, attempting to make a new life for myself after the tragic loss of my wife early this year, which caused me to really fall behind with everything, both health and machining wise.

So after this holiday season, being spent with my new partner and her large grown up and extended family, I hope that, with her help (she is very mechanically minded), I will be able to get back in my shop and clear the massive backlog that has built up. She has already worked wonders with my health, I am hoping she can do the same thing with my clogged up shop.

So I am taking this opportunity to wish every one of you a wondrous time over the coming holiday season, and hope you get all that you wish for, as I seem to have done.

Yes, all the very best John for the Xmas break and for you both in the New Year, I hope matters continue to improve for you.

Likewise to all who make this such a fun place to be part of  (even if my input is rather low at the moment  :()

Merry Xmas and a Happy 'Machining' New  Year to all  :cheers:

BTW it is going to be 35 degrees today (wonderful) but a bit cooler tomorrow.

Building an engine takes Patience, Planning, Preparation and Machining.
Procrastination is nearly the same, but it precludes machining.
Thus, an engine will only be built once the procrastination stops and the machining begins!

John and all,

I wish you a happy and healthy new year! One in which you will get plenty of time to do the stuff that gets your bearings warm, and plenty of projects to work on.

Thanks to all of the senior guys and gals who make this forum the place to go for knowledge, support, and good spirit. :cartwheel: :pinkelephant: :lolb: :old:
