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.

Beautiful moon shot 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.
