Monday

well,I'm up...

just boiled the kettle now, so I'll make coffee next, mmmm..

A Vienna in a tall glass mug with a stem, black sweet coffee beans, and fluffy cream floating on top?? no, actually, its gunna come out of a tube, made by nestle. oh well..
looking through some old favorites on the net again, no posts anywhere of any real interest.
Been tossing up whether to make the JD conrods from a casting (maybe in bronze) or to machine both from bar stock.. would be a lot less machining to make them from a casting, but harder to set up to bore the journals.. might think about it a bit more.. look at some pictures, etc. they need a hole up the centre for oil.
Was talking to Verdun Pearn last week, BTW, and learnt a lot! you always seem to, listening to him. he had an idea for round leather belts, (like on the Lorch) was just a leather bootlace, joined with a section of spring from an old oil seal... good job, and it works.
Might take out the JD tomorrow and show him, if i wake up early enough.. like to get away by midday from here.

Coffee is good.

Mum n Dad are in Cowra this morning i think, got a good email from Dad on sat night. they rang too, so thats good.
