.............. And then it it hit me hard.

Been walking with a threatening chest infection for two weeks, kind of ignoring it, but as you,know one cannot let stuff slow you down.

On Thursday after Henry left, I really felt rubbish, tired and coughing a lot more, had started taking Benelyn the day before at Craig's place, but I guess weeeks of not sleeping enough etc caught up. So I did not write up until yesterday, and ended up spending all day indoors except for honestly walking to the garage early morning to gloat at my new lights down the one side of the garage and to use the new switch...... yes, sh!t like this does give me a lot of pleasure. I even took a photo to text over to Henry as a thank you. Mad yes.

The second time I left the house was to go to the village 3 miles from here to fetch more cough syrup, bread and milk. And that was less than pleasant, cold, foggy and miserable outside.
I came straight back and indoors. Possibly my first day of doing absolutely nothing. But my body just said no.
So I never got to go to Machine Mart to get a new swan neck and parts for the welder.

I did however manage to binge watch 6hrs of recorded television, not even porn could keep me that busy that long.

I had recorded a programme on National Geographic called "Harley and the Davidsons" a three part series very much romanticised about the beginnings and progress of Harley Davidson
Really thankful for that.

I mentioned that Henry had noticed that my home DB was fitted with a 40 amp circuit feed to the garage, but the garage had a 60 amp DB.
So when the garage trips out, it happens in the house, necessitating a walk back to the house........ why would It be fitted like that ????
And of course we now will be able to fit a dedicated 16 amp outlet for the welder which obviously pulls the most current when it is working.

Today I am again just keeping a low profile, which is massively frustrating for me........

But at least I can look around on EBay for stuff I do not need, and cars I want but should not have.

I also need to start thinking about what I can do with these two massive headlights, think rugby ball, or teenagers head size.

They belong to a good friend and he asked me to give some thought to repurposing them.

Answers on a post card.

Ohhhhh, and of course Happy New Year when you get to it.

Here's to a better 2017.
