Wiggo. Have you ever considered a hydroponic growing system? |

I have Admiral, but I'm settling on wicking tubs for the most part just for their ease of setup and use plus I have most of the stuff here already to make them up (I've collected some stuff over the years to repurpose). I should be starting to see the potato plants sprouting in my tyres any day now and my butternut pumpkin seeds can go in their raised beds this weekend (yes I know that I'm cutting that fine) as we should be finally be over these cool single digit morning temps. With a bit of luck the temp outside will be up to something comfortable soon so that I can file and grind away at all that metal that I cut yesterday to see how it all fits together and get the final measurements for the last 4 pieces of steel needed so that it's all ready for welding. Anyhow it must be time for a coffee break. Cheers. |

All is calm and cool and quiet. Both Orion and the Big Dipper shine brightly in the clear darkness. There is the faint rumble of a very distant freight train clattering along somewhere afar...

Just taking a quick beer break here before I clamp the last of the cut steel together ready for welding and then I guess that I'd better setup a welding screen across the driveway. Whether I actually get some welding done today will be another story for later on. Anyhow I better get that beer poured. ;-) Cheers. |

Faint rumbling of container freight trains, yeah I hear that too. Plus I think I'm sick, as I had the chills last night and my teeth were chattering. The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |

Well I'm off to bed so that I'm ready in the morning to do a bit of welding. Cheers. |

We've just got some fog rolling through the village ATM, but it is sunny with a heady 25C being expected here today, and hopefully I'll be able to start welding in a couple of hours. Cheers. |

I'm just waiting on the kids from in the house to head off to school so that I can get started outside, but everything is all setup and ready to go. I might as well get my last coffee for the morning in I guess. Cheers. |

I'm just enjoying my last coffee break for the morning, after catching up on some long neglected domestic duties, before hanging out a load of washing. Then it's back to grinding, welding and cutting (well that's today's order) for my latest project. It's also nice knowing that I can use all these tools on these sunny days without the need to draw on the grid and everything seems to work just that little bit better while running off all those solar panels as well. Anyhow, back to my coffee. Cheers. |
