    Geez Troy you have been busy. Great lot of pens there
    Tomorrow is my shed day - I'm on a promise
    I thought it was going to be today but I ended up cutting hedges, trees, mowing, whipper sniping, going to the dump with a trailer load of rubbish et al. Fastest I have worked for a long time so that tomorrow is MINE Maybe

    i got one pen done today, i did get some prep for a batch tomorrow though and started a couple of projects i've been meaning to get started on, so productive in a way but not to your level mate, i'll have a better run tomorrow i think.

    Thats a neat set of pens for a restock mate, i rekon you'll do well out of em.

    Thanks for the quick phone chat too mate, the advice probably saved me a blank or two, and gave me a few ideas, very muchly appreciated mate.

    Neal.
