Hi,
Thanks Big Al; its nice to be missed. You are very nearly right Colin; I've been in the garage today. I was at Morrison's supermarket for when it opened this morning at 8 o'clock and it was pouring with rain and blowing a gale; this persisted until dinner time when it stopped raining but the wind remained so it's upsetting to learn my personal cloud once again won't let me be. I think the wind has finally dropped but now I couldn't care less and hope my black cloud falls out of the sky.
I was in the garage early and have been masking the Lorch parts ready to receive paint; it's amazing just how long this simple job takes but in fairness I also got into a bit of filling and sanding on the cast iron tray.
This afternoon I completed the masking and the first picture is dedicated to Lawrence " What's Alfies secret"? I mentioned in another thread this morning that I have at last found a use for the TV guide and here it is.
Once the masking was completed I spent a while trying to sort out the compressor air/water separator; I had bought this second separator for use with the soda/hard media blaster so now finally got around to playing with it. I looked at my stock of air fittings and with luck have come up with an excellent solution; I've now arranged it so that I can simply plug this filter in series between compressor and hose plugging it directly into the compressor outlet and this also means it is fully mobile together with the compressor; I've not tried it yet but hope it isn't affected by vibration? I can quickly remove it when not needed.
I finished off with a good long hot soak in the bath so once again I'm squeaky clean but only until tomorrow when I think the weather forecast is better for this area but I'll believe it when I see it? I still need to give the brand new LVLP spray-gun a deep clean to remove storage oil then I think I'm ready to start paint spraying; I wonder what's going to crop up to stop me tomorrow?
How come all around me has been a lovely day; what have I ever done wrong to deserve this persistent lousy weather? It's possible my projects would be boring if I didn't have to fight so hard to make the slightest progress.
Kind regards, Col.
