I was going to ask 'what have you been doing'...but I guess that is a redundant question at this point. What an amazing trip, glad you survived, and very glad that you documented it so that we could share in your lunacy. Look after yourself Gregor, we only have one of you...and a very slim...

Gregor you are a good and caring man. Your sister is lucky to have you to look out for her, and it is wonderful that your kids are on board with this journey. You are a wonderful example to them in so many ways - but being 'there' when a loved one is in need is a great gift and an inspirational...

"Level is universal"... don't say that in the presence of a cosmologist... :cool: Gregor, one more thing you might try with your turntable stand...is to add more mass to the bottom of the stand. It worked wonders for mine. My turntable stand isn't that different to yours, so for the test I...

Hey Gregor, Wonderful to see you blossom post separation...music with the kids...way to go!!! Re your maple tree. There is a fellow on YouTube [and Instagram] from Portland by the name of Frank Howarth. He is a great woodworker who loves to mill fallen trees. His contact details, cut and pasted...

Hey Kris, I just noticed that this was Page 44 of your Garage Journal forum page...:):):) Cheers from DownUnder

Hey Gregor, It is clear to all who have followed you [what a crazy 21st century concept that is] that you are a talented problem solver with a passion to understand and embrace new skills...but how to turn that into a profitable business? Like you, I enjoy my craft which is why I structured by...

Hey Gregor, As a fellow creative, one, who unlike you is nearing retirement, can I offer my 2c...? If you are effectively the creative/art director on a project - as you said, creating the story or directing the arc - you should focus on this and not attempt to specialise in any particular form...

Happy New Year Gregor...and family... Now, the cleanest in the district...

You'll notice that Lucas is wearing glasses. Funny story. Lucas has had his eyes checked several times but he can be stubborn and shy when we go to the doctor. He's refused to read the eye chart and I thought that might be because he was pretty slow to start reading and maybe he was shy about...

...that should help everyone get a better perspective. This is the east side, looking west. Beyond the building on the other side (seen in the distance, right rear) is the alfalfa field of dreams/heliport/overflow parking/grass runway/future Olympic size swimming pool, personal drag strip etc...

Kids... https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-XHpnB2k/0/bfd662a0/X2/i-XHpnB2k-X2.jpg We finished the handle and he carried it with him everywhere and slept with it at night and could not have been more happy. I don't know how you lose a giant aluminum sword. Nonetheless Ben, Tammy and Wyatt came...

I'm with E12-534iTurbo...I look forward the the forthcoming drill press restoration series... Come on Gregor - you know you want too!!! ;)

Re: John Johnson 1948-2020 You are a good man Thomas. Your generosity, love of community and respect for local history says volumes about you. Sorry to hear of John's passing, but your restoration of his fathers shop, and his last visit sure put a smile on his face. Well done!!! Cheers from...

"Oh, you're good at fractions? Yeah? Where were you when I ordered the steel? Yeah, not here. Sure, now I know that 3/16's is larger than 1/8. I meant to order 3/32nds. I hate fractions - for a lot of reasons..." Gregor, you crack me up sometimes. That's the trouble with metric freedom...

Gregor, what kind of engineer designs a vehicle that needs the body removed to change injectors...pure madness and seriously poor design. Engineers like this need to spend time in real world repair shops - then they might just understand!!! Good luck, hopefully it is something relatively...
