Beaver Moon.
Gas pump globe arrived today.
£32.00 delivered, Black Friday half price offer.
Much better size, and real white in my opinion its a win.
Branding, name and star still needs to be hand painted, and hopefully paint dries, and then wired up.
I plan on placing it on a small plinth, to raise it between 20mm and 50mm
Long overdue.
Now here’s the thing......
I did not read the whole ad for the globe.
I just wanted a fuel pump globe.
On delivery it seems I got more than I thought I was buying.
Loads of colour options, and rechargeable too.
.
Well....
Old habits do die hard.
Bought some meat this weekend.
Really missed having some of my own made Chilli beef Biltong (almost like Jerky, but not)
Got a large box.
Made some bits up
Created a cover, drilled a large hole.
Fitted
Than made about 30 sharpened meat hooks.
Unpacked, washed, trimmed, sliced, salted, vinegar washed, spiced the meat,
Almost 5kg I guess.
Hooks all fitted through.
And hung up in the drying box, light turned on and box sealed after positioning.
Let’s see how this lot dries out.
Did I mention it is non traditional chilli/garlic?
Should be good.
When's the party? I could bring some poitin.

Poitin??
No party here.
But kettle always on and biccies on standby.
PS:
Kelly at Ethyls was asking Bryan when I was returning.
Seems COVID-19 has screwed up their lives too......
But not too much for her not to still mess with my head.
Looking forward to the next time
and I get to go over there.
Google says:
Poitín (Irish pronunciation: [ˈpˠotʲiːnʲ]) or poteen is a traditional Irish distilled beverage (40–90% ABV). Poitín was traditionally distilled in a small pot still and the term is a diminutive of the Irish word pota, meaning "pot". The Irish word for a hangover is póit.
They say Guinness tastes best in Dublin; that may be a myth but you ain't lived until you've witnessed the traditional rural Irish pub version of a lockdown.
Best way to pronounce it is p'tchEEn. Think of Spit the Dog doing a spray furniture polish ad.

I've also got some vodka somewhere.
Non of your pics show for me grizz
Two days of drying and it smells good.
Looking forward to day 5 so that I can start tasting.
Little wins make me happy.
Post man/woman delivered the waterproof LED light ribbon today.
Will take some time over the weekend to dig out the transformer I have stashed away, hopefully it is a DC converter.
May even get time to mount this up on the carport too.
Sunset at 15.50 was pretty spectacular too.
