Bit frustrated

[Skil Phil]

Due to work have not been able to sit down and relax with my project.
After a day behind a lathe do not feel like more precise work. Need to relax with a drink and some food.
My sister has a toy shop who deals with the importer of Tamiya goodies. So in anticipation of when I get a break I have ordered all the paints, primers, tape that I might need. Getting at cost is a bonus.
Yesterday when doing some work at her shop popped into the bookshop to say Hi to the owner/friend.
There on the counter was a book - 'SAAF Border War' or something like that that someone had ordered. Paging through it - apart from the history - it has pics of all the aircraft used in action by squadron in their different camo and ensignia. He didn't have a another copy so he is getting me one. A nice resource.
Oh well hope to get back when work permits.

oof! I know what you mean.

I havent been posting much these past two weeks because of a new job. Its' a bit of a commute as well, so once I get home there isnt much time to do much of anything at all but eat dinner and walk the dog. But at $14 an hour, I couldnt pass it up!

Commuting 1.5 hours a day (!) feels the same. There is there new project on the bench but powers are low. Thank god it´s Spring and the days are longer so the powers will get more and more!

Phil, I feel your pain. There are days I simply don´t feel to sit on the bench despite having felt the need during the day at work. Try to get this book, get a comfortable chair and relax. When its time to sit on the bench again you will feel it.

Dude, a sister that has a toy shoppe and gets you stuff at cost?! SSSSSSSSS CCCCCCCCCCC OOOOOOOOO RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

I feel your pain. I do try to go down to the lair and get a couple of pieces put in place almost every day, even if I don't want to. Food and drink are always a good thing, along with a good book for later. Hang in there.

Yeah next week is gonna be hell for me. I work my 24hr shifts Monday and Wednesday. I have to go to court for a call I was part of on Monday, Wednesday and possibly Thursday. SWMBO is in an art show on Saturday and I have family coming in from outta town on Friday for it.

No bench time for me.

I feel your pain. Between work, house remodel and yard work, I'm lucky if I get more than an hour a week at the bench!
