If you really did look these up on Amazon (and I think you probably did) you're in for some interesting ads courtesy of your search history.. Certainly did www.amazon.com/Ideal-Instruments-2007-Latex-Castrating/dp/B000HHLZ82Never mind the ads, I'll just forward any appropriate ones to Tania's facebook page until she finally realises it'll be kinder to the male population of Manila if she just grows to be an elderly spinster!

Hmm, $28 for the tool, $5 for the rings off Amazon. Cheaper to run than the Mossberg. Ordered! If you really did look these up on Amazon (and I think you probably did) you're in for some interesting ads courtesy of your search history.. Try searching for armpit length rubber gloves and see what ads Google serves after a few days ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

It's that time of the year again and with the suit unreliability last year Rob has been working on upgraded power supplies and sound effects. Power supplies and motor controllers have been incorporated into ex-military webbing and pouches. We have a powerful Bluetooth speaker with a sound card playing effect from Jurassic Park controlled by a haptic sensor on a headband. Move the head and get a T-Rex roar, a Nom nom nom..... or Dickie Attenborough saying 'Welcome to Jurassic Park'. Now Rob is an electronics genius but sometimes the big picture eludes us. Imagine if you will, electronics failure and we take off the suit only for the carnival crowd to see the webbing, wires, flashing lights etc. It would just need someone to shout suicide bomber and ooops Then I took Rex out for a drive ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

Carnival went well with two fully functioning T-Rex suits, 9 junior dinosaurs and various minders. Although you could say the suits were air-conditioned it was like wearing a mini greenhouse in 28 degrees. Never mind the beer tent was open!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bob the Dog plays Pooh Sticks A Bob the Dog Tale of Terror Walking Bob the Dog during the summer in the local woods is a fraught experience. If weโre off the main drag and he decides to do a #2 then we โflick it and stick itโ into the dense undergrowth instead of using another slow to degrade plastic bag. Bob firmly believes that if you have a stick in your hand then it should be his even if youโre clearing away his mess. This results in him jumping around like a maniac trying to get the stick off you. The sh1tty stick. The solution is to throw the stick into the really dense undergrowth or up a tree but sometimes that goes wrong and he can get the sh1tty stick back. I then leg it while he's retrieving the stick trying to find some defensible place to keep him and the stick away from my work trousers. On his return mayhem then ensues as Bob then wants me to throw the stick again. The sh1tty stick. So thereโs a dog jigging around me, trying to poke me with the potentially sh1tty end of the stick and I'm jigging around trying to avoid the stick. Sometimes another dog walker goes past with a distinct look of pity on their face. Have a picture of Bob racing back with a sh1tty stick.

That really did make me LOL
Dogs, Monday morning early morning walk get back to car and lift Basil the Border Terrier into the car what's that on his side and now on my hand, sniff sniff, yep he's rolled in something nasty. I had to stop off at the stables to meet the vet who was doing something to Mrs Miatamark's 1hp machine(remember she's laid up with a broken leg). Sh1tty Basil got a cold tea-tree horse shampoo rubbed in with an old brush I found laying around, washed off with several buckets of cold water. Serves him right!

.....and now for a biggish catch up. First my mate Adrian has built himself a fork truck for those people who want something lifted very quickly. Got this nice mug from one of the kids My mate Pete has contracted encephalitis and is currently in Southampton Neuro unit and the Lenham is locked up in his place so we're having to to a bit on the Dolly as the Lenham is prolly not going to make it to Malta this year. Wings removed for fettling and spraying New rear panel going in ![](http://img.retro-rides.org/i/v/frankenhealey/d21f26d40423.jpg) Had to get some screws in a hurry and was only left with the option of our local ironmongers, we call them Four Candles. While waiting to be served I came to the conclusion that could there be a better place to buy stuff from than a place where they hang storm lanterns, buckets and coal scuttles from the roof? I could spend days in there. Prices aren't bad either. Here's the beginning of the SpridJET chassis, running gear and bodywork being taken away The proceeds of which allowed this to arrive in the home field today. They hit water at 1.8 metres and then promptly broke the bit on a piece of sandstone. Borehole is going to 10 metres. You wouldn't willingly drink the water but it's fine for irrigation and stock. Finally I know we're all suffering from the the heat so have some cooling pics (that I don't think I have posted yet) of Anders and Olov's jetkick at Arsunda this year. and a picture of a young lady trying to warm her chesticles over the kick's burners

Just a few things, sorry about your mate Pete hope he is sorted soon, didn't google it just in case I might have it as well! That's one hell of a fork lift and I want one! Bad news about the sh1tty stick but at least you can tell which way the dogs pointing not like some of the breeds out there! With the bore hole we have just found ours after 3 years! if you check with your council they will do certain checks on the water for free, they will also know what to check for in your area eg certain chemicals/poisons etc Also this link is interesting as you can see all the existing recorded bore holes & wells through out the country, if you click on a particular well/bore hole it gives you any information they have like depth and material they bored through mapapps.bgs.ac.uk/GeoRecords/GeoRecords.htmlNot going to comment on the last picture in case I get myself in trouble!!

It's official, I am the owner of a small sand mine. About 5 metres down they hit builders sand. It's pure grade A yellow (nearly) gold. The drillers said that if the site didn't have such a high water table it would have been a sand pit years ago. Yellow gold Some clay Main pipe Liner pipe Some part of the drill OOOOOOps Still hard at work but they say there's plenty of water Finally due to lack of grass we're feeding the sheep willow twigs for some greenery and the rest is concentrates that they shouldn't be on until Autumn.

In the first picture what mischief is Bob the Dog up to? Bob the Dog has finished chinning the drillers and is now watching the scrape where the neighbourhood cats get into the field. There is also a fox that uses it so Bob the Dog knows he might get a chase out of it or, better still, there may be some tasty snacks in the area (cat & fox cr@p). Then we suffer a Night of Armageddon Flatulence. The old solution of going down the pub to relieve ones sinuses is no longer effective as the return home to the noxious build-up needs military grade gas masks. Seriously, if I could bottle it then tear gas and pepper spray would never need to be used again. A skunk would run from Bob's rse at these times.

Posh, eh? ๐ Locally uneconomic due to ground water level being so high. You'd spend more on pumping than you'd get from the sand. Mind you give it a couple years and it may then be economical as there is a looming sand shortage. For cement it seems that desert or sea sand is not sharp enough and as China has used more sharp sand in the last 30 years than the whole USA did in the entire 20th century so it's not surprising that sand smuggling and sand gangs have risen in the Far East.
