Welll I'm sitting here in Brasil with nothing to do but draw everyone's attention to th fact that this is post number 3,000 for me! :oo::oo:
Don't know if that's a good or a bad thing but in 13 months and 2 days that's a fair bit of computer time!
When I get back home I promise to spend more time in the shed - honestly.:D:D:D
Congratulations Arthur that is indeed a milestone.
Enjoy Brazil while you can plenty of shed time when you get back.
Great Milestone Arthur!!
:oo: You're about double what I'm on. I thought I was bad.:rolleyes:
Congratulations Arthur. I'm not far behind you. Hope you are enjoying the last weeks of your holiday. Look forward to seeing you when you get back
Now come on surely Brazil has a Men's Shed or even a Pole lathe
Way to go Artme ....now some of us have a goal to shoot for!:;
Lets see, two posts every 7 minutes....that means I won't get back to turning for about 6 months:o:C
Thanx all!!
Wheelin - strange thing about Brasil. Plenty of beautiful timber, lots of wonder ful trades people, artisans and crafts people but as for more örganized hobbyists and so on it just doesn't happen. People look in wonder when they find I do WW as ahobby.
Ed- was afraid to work that one out! :oo: One of the great things about the forums is that they have helped me immensly in terms of my recovery from the btypass op. and with the state of my mental health. the support and advice and the laughs have really been of trmendous benefit. Many thnks to all.:2tsup::2tsup::2tsup:
Art...I'm sure there are a lot of folks on this forum that can relate to what your going through....I know that I certainly can! Just goes to show that these forums are beneficial in many ways!:2tsup::2tsup:Quote:

Got some interesting photos Cliff. was trying to get a shot of some capybara in a park but they wouldn't play ball. Got a photo of A pile of capybara ???? though, just to prove at least that I had some evidence of their existence.
uhhhh...I think Cliff had something else in mind:U
Really? :p:DQuote:

I think you'll find it's due to the absence of opposable thumbs. With the best intentions in the world, my dogs suffer the same dissability.Quote:
