Default Re: What's your distractions ..

Doing my usual YT scroll this morning with freezing howling winds making life outside this morning a bit uncomfortable to say the least and found this .

This isn't distracting though , this is an obsession I'd say .. There is a video on this model featuring servicing and maintenance etc too ...but thhis is a timelapse of the build ..

My friend does these but normal ones ...and that's a substantial job .

Last of these tiles cleaned up today. It will be nice to use them in the job as planned, hopefully in the coming week.

Because at the moment I am not working and now its hard to find a job at my age, our dog Mylo takes my mind off things and I have a bit more time to spend with him what a great dog he is.

His a jack Russell X Fox terrier and in 2 months he will be 13 years old. We got him nearly 2 years ago and after hearing his story my wife and myself felt so sorry for him we brought him from the pound.

He was in the same family for ten years and then they got a younger dog and Mylo started to fight with the younger dog so the family got rid of Mylo.

His so loyal and he loves the car which is great because I enjoy driving.
