Well the person who wanted the dresser failed to make contact or turn up, so there is someone else to get added to my “Hate” list.
I made a mess all over the floor of the garage thicknessing some timber for the tops for the pedestals. I was able to fill a large black dustbin bag of wood shavings, if only I could find a use for this. I then glued up some wood strips into slabs ready for final planing.
It was a day for havoc, first the extension lead shorted out. I was moving the heater when the plug went bang with a puff of black smoke. I stripped it down and found that the live cable had split and must have arced, and finally went “phut”
I was able to clean it up and rewired it so it worked again.
Throughout the day I would knock things off shelves and my workmate. Kelli kept hearing all the crashes, and just looks bemused at my attempt to navigate through the day.
We went to New Holland for dinner and saw Don Goeman the ex VP of design and development, he must have stopped in for a quick drink on his way back from Alcoholics Anonymous (joke).
I introduced him to Kelli, and afterwards she remarked how tall he was. She laughed how short I was in comparison, although she thought I was still sitting down and didn’t realise that I was actually standing.
I alway felt I was standing in a hole when we used to meet.
Another Lifetime to go
