    My mind has been buzzing of late with the comments about "Showing My Age" and Crowie's thread on building the Concrete Truck. I have been thinking about making a series of Trucks based on the proportions of the Concrete Barrel I made for Crowie. On Austar at 3 pm A&E have a program following a group of Tow Truck operators who specialise in Heavy Vehicle Rescue/Recovery. They have over sized Tow Trucks but also Rotator Trucks. These things are
    l-o-n-g wheel based chassis with a crane mounted that can swivel. The trucks have at least 4 winches that can be turned on and off as they bring a wreck back to the roadway.

    What I am thinking is to make a series of different trucks with different layouts all to the same scale. At the moment its just a thought. I will have to do a whole lot of tidying up in the shed and finish off quite a few projects. As I have mentioned before my "Ism" (enthusiasm) is at a very low point. Thinking is easy, getting things done is a problem.
    Just do it!

    Kind regards Rod

    Re RESPECT from rrch,
    My wife when she arrived at the Teachers College from Nth America she was introduced to all the staff academics and workers.
    A few years later the 'ladies' she worked with couldn't understand how the janitors would help her whenever she had to set up a room or move her stuff.
    Amazing what saying good morning and meaning it does.

    One of my mates, a very youthful looking 60, took his wife, a rather aged and
    haggard 58, to hospital where she was having severe stomach pains.

    The nurse made the comment to her, "You were lucky your son was on hand
    to drive you here".

    I don't think he wiped the smile off his face for 12 months.

    When I was a much younger man, when one of my mates went to visit another mate, if their mother answered the door, he'd always ask if her brother was home. Reckoned he'd always get invited in for a cuppa or drink.
