    Default I admit it, I'm a woose

    Yup, dead set, yellow bellied, frog eyed woose.

    I've been working away on me boat, doing something everyday in the belief that this might actually get it into the water eventually, but according to my trusy thermometer, it's about 45 degrees in the shed today Sure, I've worked in worse but for some reason, old age and common sense is catching up with me so I'm going to watch something horrid on tele instead.

    I persevered in the shed yesterday with very high 30's, 40.2º was the clincher for me then I kicked in the bucket.

    Rather than do the same again I've spent the day in the house with the a/c doing nothing. Nothing about being a woos, it's just knowing when you're beat.
    I make things, I just take a long time.

    Wuss Waldo. I was outside welding - boots, gloves, overalls and helmet.

    Today I am giving the A/C a serviceability check...in between welds and grinding.

    Yesterday it reached 24 and today it got to 23.5 degrees in the workshop.

    All my efforts last year of lining the outside walls of my workshop with insulation bats and covering the outside of the walls with old doors has paid of. Especially the part of the workshop facing the hot mid afternoon sun where it is done twice ie under the veranda and stairs.

    And I have a couple of fans to circulate the still air.

    A lot to be said for lining your shed/workshop.
