My Scribing Block and Depth Micrometer are ready to use, stabbed myself with
the former a couple of times whilst walking around, wondered how furniture
figured amongst stationary engine and tractor parts though.
My friend and I were supposed to be selling this time but didn't get home
from London until late evening Friday night so had no time to load up.
With have some goodies for you all next year :-))
Also bought a Dixon Bates Ball and Pin hitch for the Van, cheaper than
replacing the towing eye on my next engine trailer.
