Funny looking castings for someone

[Bluechip]

After the best part of an hour raking about in the roof-space, I found the little buggers. 

150mm x 24mm OD borosilicate tubes.  10 off.

Coming down the ladder I mis-stepped resulting in my right kneecap adopting a latitude roughly the same as my tonsils.   

Some body not far from Hampshire owes me a mug of tea and a comforting cuddle.    

I can manage the profanities myself.

Ouch! Your feet are not supposed to trade places with your head on ladders!   

Were those tubes left over from your meth-lab days? 

Do I see a Sterling build in your near future?

Hi Dave,
I live in Hampshire. You are welcome to a hot mug of tea any time your passing, but you will have to go elsewhere for your comforting cuddle

Enough there for a V10 stirling engine

[Jo]

First it is your back and now your knee, you got to look after yourself Dave  I would offer you a chocolate sticky thingy to go with your tea but as they were a Valentine gift I am not sure if I should be mentioning anything about those



I am not sure if they count as castings  but I could find a home for them and Graham has got the idea of my plans 

Jo

P.S. While I have Chocolate Sticky things I am still hopeful for wednesday

Hi Troops ..  in no particular order ...

Mike.     I don't (knowingly) cuddle blokes. That's reserved for Premier League footballers and I'm way below their pay-scale. ( And a lot prettier ).

Graham.      It had occurred to me but I've got another Stirling to finish when a get one of them round things.

Chris.    No Meth. days ... I'm a rather unadventurous creature, never got beyond beer and nicotine, don't even do that now apart from e-cigs.

Jo.       Bit surprised the sticky wotsits have survived thus far ....      Anyway, my knackered back has been there for some 30-odd years  The knee is a different tale. On several previous occasions I have gone up there in my slippers, and I've come off the loft ladder before.  Nothing new. I never learn. Pavlov wasn't always right ...

If nothing better turns up on Wednesday ... cut and paste these

                    

Cheaper than a proper card and zero postage.

Time for a Becky & Naproxen.

Dave

PS  You are the new owner of more wood-screws .. 

PPS How did jankers go today ??

Those tubes I have are some 21 - 22mm bore. ( I have a broken one, must measure it, IIRC they are a bit more than 1mm thick).

So, what's the diameter of the marbles?

Careful Zee will be getting jealous 


Janckers  ... you mean "The Block" no we still are not allowed anything that would aid an escape bid     


Jo

[Bluechip]

Careful Zee will be getting jealous 

Jo

Of me or you ??   

Jankers is RAF slang for 'Defaulters Parade'   .. and yes, I've been there. More than once ....

Competition!

Show me a picture and I'll tell you.
Forget that.
I'll tell you now.
Not you. 
No matter how awesome the picture.

Test me.

Come on Jo and Dave  it’s pancake day 


Ps. Still waiting for scan results , now got a water infection 


Stuart

[Jo]

Pancakes and Chocolate Sticky Wotsits 

Ps. Still waiting for scan results , now got a water infection 

Scan results always seem to take forever 

Don't need that.

Jo

[Stuart]

Thanks Jo

Haven't a clue - I lost mine years ago...

Good morning Dave.

Not having my trusty Mitutoyo to hand I’m guesstimating the test tubes to be around the 20 mm mark and 150 mm long. The marbles are roughly 15 mm in diameter.

I should do a new video as the piston to bore fit has greatly improved after a few runs. It will now run flawlessly for several minutes on a cap full of Methylated spirit.

Cheers Graham.

On the “ pancakes “ front....

Just done the grandchildren American style thick ones, their favourite being Ham embedded into the batter. Once cooked liberally coated with Lyles golden syrup.

For me.... a pancake filled with smoked Bacon and a generous helping of extra mature Stilton..... heaven!

More fillings, anyone?

Cheers Graham.

I'll tell you now.

Zee. You have no idea how relieved I am ...   

Stuart   . Ey-up, our kid. ....      You do seem to be getting some grief    Hope thing improve for you soon.   

Anyway, now back from a day out courtesy of the NHS, having been (in no particular order) prodded, poked, manipulated, doped up, talked about, talked over, taped up, given some more pills and sent home. 
It appears I have displaced my patella. Here's me thinking I'd buggered my knee  Shows you just how wrong you can be 
So, in accordance with the instructions given by a very attractive Chinese doctor  "Not to indulge in any high impact activities and take plenty of fluids" I've given up jousting and, in the absence of any other, my interpretation of "plenty of fluids" will have to do.   
Got to see them again Friday   

Pancake Day ???     Isn't that something to do with parachuting ??

Dave





   

[Stuart]

Thanks Dave


Yes I know all about the poking , but I only had talking to and look see ct , then more talking to . After that we will get the stanly knife out from the rusty tool box 📦

Hope your patella get un displaced ( tech term )

But by ekk the forum members do seem to getting a kicking , maybe it’s  not that Jo looks like that

Look after your self.


Had a complete and utter brain fade today Linda thought the car needed a run out as the start / stop was not working ( low batt) so off we went
Cromford, Newhaven , by ekk it’s snowing a bit so left turn to Ashbourne, what on in Ashbourne on pancake day

So someone  has sent ahead 6 bottles of Sparkling Wine and a couple of chocolates but I don't know who they are from as there is no card   


No castings (yet) 


Jo

[b.lindsey]

Ah, a secret admirer then  That sounds better than what this couple did. Enjoy the wine and chocolates 

Bill

[Bluechip]

Dave

Dave

[Jo]

What's the use of having a secret admirer 

I haven't seen any castings so far  ...I thought I heard the door but I never made it before I heard Surus trumpeting something about having an admirer of his own and next it looked suspiciously like he was stuffing a new box into his casting cupboard

Did not intend the first day complete and utter brain fade 

I wondered what the sat nav was trying to tell us grey blocks along the road , silver orb at the center . Not until a nice lady directed us round ,then the penny dropped ( clang )


How’s the knee bone 🍖


Stuart

[Bluechip]

Hi Stuart

Seems a bit better  thanks.

A lot of the ratchetty feeling has gone and it isn't quite so uncomfortable.

Just keep pottering about to keep it moving. Not very quick but then I never was ...
