At this point the jetlag was continueing to beat me up quite badly as my biological clock had not yet flipped to US time zones.
Fortunately I had Minnie Pearl Johnson to keep me company at night for a bit.
And in the mornings this was Status normal. You count them.
Perfect world to my sleep deprived brain reaching for the kettle Clem would have boiled already and one of Mr Tetleys best builders teas.
2016 was especially spectacular as we had a load of people in the Rock house.
Mc Murphy and his lovely bride Tricia down for a second year.
Chad Grove who managed to get a few days off work.
And of course Bomp all the way from Kaiser, Oregon who I had an absolute blast with.
Here with the ever present and smiling Mrs Kim J.
She can cook. And I am sure all who stayed over or ate with us will attest to the fact that Clem is a very lucky guy.
So what was Bomp doing to his chair repair?
Remember these all were destined for the tip till Clem challenged the hoarders and artists in us.
The first two I used bits of flat bar and random steel plus a pair of Chevy wheel spanners each.
So Bomp upped his game after the cool gate he made and gifted the Johnsons (both arachnaphobes) with his first ever spiders web and resident spider.
The foot repairs done with internal pipe sleeved and welded in place followed by 66 Chevy C10 hood springs sleeved over the repairs and tacked into place.
Fully shaped arachnid in place.
