The Wolf's Den

What is it with this stupid president of the USA. We will make America great again? America has always been great, but a shared greatness. Now it is heading to an insular great. Countries being alienated against it. People being abused by it and treated like inferior beings, just like they were when they treated their own country folk as different. America is a huge country, large enough to take extra citizens without damaging itself. They could even be used to rebuild the infastructure and industry that this president keeps going on about. There is a massive issue within their country, that many countries have or would deal with, which they are not willing to. GUN CONTROL. Children, adults from all races and religions being killed daily. They blame it on mental health. What a feeble excuse. How did that person get hold of a semi automatic weopan? How did that child get hold of a pistol? Easy, there is no control! Basically anyone can buy a gun, whether it be a pistol right up to

Well, i just checked the date of my last post, it seems it was nearly a year and a half ago. So much time passed, so much has happened. We are currently enjoting HRH 12, over in Wales, for the last time. From 2019 we head over to Great Yarmouth. Seen a few bands, drank a few beers and talked the talk. Sometimes i wonder why i go to see the bands that i have seen before. Sometimes, not always, the set is the same, the clothes are the same and the songs are the same. An example was Saxon last night. The set up on stage was exactly the same as every gig i have been to of theirs, the music that they played was virtually the same and they were dressed exactly the same( well Biff was anyway). Don't get me wrong, they give a good performance, but we want to see something different. We want to hear new songs as well as the classics. We want to take away new memories, not the same ones. I think i may think wisely about who i pay to see based on how they are performing. Iron maiden show the

Opened up the camper today after nearly a year. Was expecting the worst but doesnt seem that bad. Hopefully get away in it now i have a tow bar on my car. Cats seem to enjoy it anyway.

So far all seems to be going well. Managed to buy myself a 4x4 but not without some issues. Had a few fuel problems after getting it home, it did not want to start and seemed to be sucking in air. Fuel filter replaced for the correct one for my car, fuel pipe from filter to pump replaced, fuel pipe from filter to tank replaced. That was when we found the issue, the tank had bren bodged! For some unknown reason someone had drilled 2 holes for the filler pipe and return pipe. Contaminated fuel and leaking fuel. So after paying £1080 the bill just went up by another £300, mostly labour costs. I wish i was a mechanic. But now the car is doing great. Hopefully going iff roading at the end of the month, lets hope the 4 wheel drive works ok. Had a great time at hammerfest. Long journey but always worthwhile. Had one of our friends have a booze influenced injury though. Now facing 3 months of recovery after fracturing his knee. Need to open up the trailer soon to see ehat state it is in.

Happy Happy Time Well so far this year and we are only on the 12th. We have paid off my 50th birthday event, booked accommodation for a family wedding in Norfolk, and got the final sign off date for purchasing our house(just waiting for the council to get back to the solicitors, typical). So far the year is going well Still to come is bonus time! will I get enough to buy the new car hat I want? I am looking for a 4x4 specifically either a Isuzu Trooper or a Mitsibushi Pajero, been offered one of these in really good nick for £2250 so need that amount as a minimum. Pictures to come of the new car when I get it. Now time to look for some more accommodation, for a few days away with my partner in Lancaster. They all seem a bit steep though, and thats for mid week.

Hobby time So, i have now taken up Airfix and other plastic modeling. Well I had but then our son moved back home and I lost my craft room. I have managed to fit most of it into the bedroom but most days there are towels and clothes on the table. Before I lost my space and mojo, I did manage to complete one Model and start another two. The completed one is a Heinkell 111. As i have not modeled for over 30 years it is not as good as some of the other offerings I see on the web. How they manage to get them so detailed I will never know.  I was quite impressed with this effort. Hand painted rather than spray painted. Very difficult to get the airmen correct as they are so small and my eyesight is not as good as it used to be. I want to try and get some diorama training done, I have some old model train scenery so hopefully I can use that as it is nearly the same size. I have recently started a landrover and a hurricane. I tried to mask the hurricane but it all went wrong and has le
