	Goose neck light..... Fitted !! It may not look like it is in the middle, but it is in the middle of the front 6.6 meter facade. I like the position in which it will be throwing light as well. Over in the USA Dennis and stepson (treated like own sone) Bryan were lifting the golf kart that they bought for 7 year old Skyler at their new property. Nice for running around on a piece of farm land. Halfway there, rear lift next, then take the body panels to Dennis’ body shop and get it painted up, kid has already said no pink no more, rather silver. Look forward to seeing the result.

	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. .

Glad it worked out I knew it did all the other colours clever bit of kit I saw the as, saw the illustrations..... just did not click. So I will probably remove the internals and repurpose them. The globe will be made to look as it should. 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.

	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 craigrk and I get to go over there.

	Two days of drying and it smells good. Looking forward to day 5 so that I can start tasting. Little wins make me happy. And another small job done today on the Rezin Rockit build process during my “lunch hour” break . As much as I dislike this whole Corona virus and how it has turned our worlds upside down, I am massively thankful for still having a job that I can do successfully from home, despite it not being very rewarding as the old way was. BUT...... my daily commute of a minimum of 60 miles or 100km taking me a minimum of two hours, means that one can add a bit of travel time to your own agendas. Report later in that thread about my lunchtime Quicky.. Back to day job stuff as lunch and teatime are over.

	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. ..

	I do love a bit of biltong. Must have a go at making some myself some time.
	My worst worry about dying is my wife selling my stuff for what I told her it cost...

You know the route by now. No lockdown here. Dec 5, 2020 10:00:35 GMT retrolegends said: Gorgeous sunset! As you say “life is good”. 👍 Certainly is good mate. Just need to open our eyes. Happy to report that day 2 3/4 looked like this.excess spices brushed off. Chopped a bit off the tip in the garage and tried it. Absolutely lovely Brought two thin strips indoors to keep tasting....l This one has great fat distribution as well. Did a load of odd jobs around the garage, but it was unpleasant and by 3.00pm it was down to 5’C and I gave up. Managed to do a tiny job on the Rezin Rockit as well.

	So having posted the last two pics I did of the biltong at day 3, I was questioned about how didgusting my second pic looked. Striated fat makes it incredibly tasty. Now modern man avoids fat often. However, in biltong the fat is certainly cherished, either as in the first pic, or mixed into a cut batch. I like the fat as it counters the dried nature of the beef. Moist is how I like it. Some people do not. And of course you could have it quite dry and without any fat. This is how my local supplier dispatches their biltong. They will post/ship at cost to you anywhere you are. Down as Biltong Cottage on Facebook or call the mobile number on the packaging.

	Lights Camera Action....... Removed the light unit, Nicely sealed in. I suspect this could be put in a pool or pond too. Really well made bit of kit. Tried it out, ultra bright. Then took the actual globe down to the garage and fitted it on its little plinth. Liking that. Then later a test to see what it looks like with a lamp inside. I am very pleased. Once all the lighting is sorted, it should look neat. While I was down there, I pulled out a 1800mm length of scrap ply and grabbed the jigsaw, a pencil and square. Made a cross Mickey popped over to ask for help getting onto Facebook, I love how he just grabs technology when needed and gets on with it. Then glued the side wings on using 50mm strips of off-cut and a length of railway line used to put pressure on it all. Next step will be to use the LED from the globe, mounting it centrally, either behind a stylised heart or on its own, and to use it as a Christmas decoration in the window. Weekend over again.

	I used a computer fan in my biltong box rather than a light bulb and that worked well also. After 5 days mine was much drier than yours.

This is pretty much almost to the hour, 72 hrs. Let’s see what it looks like in two days. I would happily have a fan too.

	Well.... Mickey is a traditional Christmas decorator..... when his lights go on, the national grid blinks and then dims. I do not do this sort of thing, but thought I would add a Christian slant to it all. Out of the clamp. Fitted the colour changer, it can still be charged and turned on and off, as well as selecting the mode, pulse, fading, changing etc. Testing in the kitchen. And hung up in the spare room window. I am absolutely in two minds, not sure if it suits my more subtle taste. Wonder what Mickey will make of it. .

Possibly, but I think I can sign this one as “fail” overall. I will recycle the plywood, or post it over the street on a stick for the speeding drivers. The LED light can be reused.
