Nothing like a bit of Persevering.

Yes thanks John for getting it back, up and running.

What new toy is that then?

Plymouth is such a long way, left home at 04.20hrs back indoors by 11.30hrs. 412miles round trip for "another smelly old outboard to clutter the place up". (reasonably priced car performed well again)

Looks like a good buy, all there just a broken wing nut and bit of corrosion to the skeg.

Must finish off the 1948 one first.

That's four of us on here were bidding then. I had to stop at a tenner.

I am reliably informed that I have too many; some indeed must go. None may inhabit the actual house. Yet these women fill the place up with strange stuff. apparently we have to have voiles now. What on earth is a voile?

For those of us who weren't bidding what WAS the new toy then HA?

I only have 3 gulls at the moment ( oh and a M*riner & H*nda 10hp rupture maker ) and I am told 'You only have one boat and a dinghy why do you need so many engines? I have tried pointing out how stuck I would be if one of the dear little light fingered Essex yobs were to releive me of one so I need a spare but am not getting that far at the moment ( haven't given up tho! )

Is a Voile a larger violin?

It was a 102.

I now understand that a voile is like a curtain, but you have to have curtains as well. Strange but true.

Ask her why she needs more than one pair of shoes?

and there was me imagining that a voile was a small furry mammal that lived in a hoile

but for you chaps living in the shadow of Sandbanks, can't have the envying populace looking through the windows and actually able to see that you have curtains

Not Sandbanks, old chap. I'm a bit more picky about my neighbours!

Good to know you are all well,
Thanks John and co for saving my sanity and repairing the site. It would be the time when im off sick and nothing but re runs and somebody called Mr Kile on TV. Still spent many a happy hour with the braso polishing up my 110 prop. Sad i know!

We can all say no Gerry, sometimes it is nice if you do say yes.

Perhaps you can start a few threads to make this site more interesting?

Nice finishes. Ultrasonic? Buffing wheel? Bead blast? (Not sand/ali oxide) Suspect I can see buffing marks on the mixing tube but likely imagining......

Just Ultrasonic, Nothing harsh on this old one.

The marks that you can see are factory hand finishing before dull nickel plating.

None of your painted rubbish
