New year resolutions.

[Allen Smithee]

Finally we have made it to new years eve and I am pleased to see the back of 2017  As thoughts go to the new year I find a need to think about a new year resolution  It seems to get increasingly difficult as I seem to keep go back to ones I have tried before like:

• I must try not to buy any more castings this year 
• I must try to loose weight 
• I must stop cut down on  
• I must stop buying machine tools 
• I must not spend as much time in my workshop  and try to take up more social hobbies 

Who are you, and what have you done with the real Jo?

• I must try not to buy any more castings this year 

Very clever, Jo. I notice that this doesn't say you will buy FEWER castings

My supplier has run out of interesting casting sets  all he seems to have left is Hit and Miss engines

Jo,

Whats wrong with Hit and Miss engines, are you worried they may Miss more than Hit.

I was told it is size that matters

Hi,

My New Years resolutions are:

Finish my Beam engine;
Complete at least one engine casting (I now have two: A Stuart 10V and PM Research SO);
Reorganize my shed for the 5th time in two years;
Get a real job.

Plus all the usual family stuff.

I have others, but from a workshop point of view:

Demolish workshop (garage)
Build new, slightly bigger workshop with insulation and a radiator (oh and some other things like a bedroom and bathroom above and a new kitchen, all less important)
Sell my lathe and buy a bigger one, and a vertical mill.

So, not much then....

I never reveal my resolutions until April 1st. By then they have either held up for ninety full days; of which I’m proud of, or failed: which gives me something to laugh about
