Cold calling, blackpowder and rabbit.

[Sausagedog 7,381]

Had an interview today, this morning. But on the way called in a new construction firm that makes steel buildings. Did a weld test and start tomorrow. I cancelled the other place...long boring story.

It was raining bad here today. I dont know what it is but in bad weather I am always drawn to a flintlock! Probably years of hearing folk say they are useless in the rain etc etc. I admit today that it was suffering from high humidity and after the first failure realized I needed to change the prime regularly. I got two rabbits between downpours. I missed two and a pigeon. I made smoke and loud BOOMS

Tried it but the rabbits are to fast for me!

In fact, a snail would be to quick for me!

Old age is a cruel mistress my friend, I take a cod liver oil capsule everyday, supposed to be good for the joints . You would know it to look at me as I hobble  around . 
        I had to laugh the other day , I was talking to the guy who owns the estate I work on when the tractor driver ( who is notoriously work shy ) walked past,  and stuck on the back of his coat was a snail . Quick as a flash , the boss remarked “ Adam, he caught up with you “!

Think I will start on it too as my knees and legs ache after a good walk 

[philpot 5,020]

Oh been on those a few years along with glucosamine sulphate all for joints although whilst I am 30 in my head, I look and feel about 90 as I get out of bed and a founder member of the old tarts club ................................................. the tablets don't work

You did well to get two SD, being as you still had your welding mask on
