Going great,   first shelf fully varnished and returned and they are super happy with it,   because I can recoat every hour I get some time to play with the new Smart controller.

I have had a Plat for two years and apart from a few cracks and a bit of glue still going well.  I am quite good at it now.  Just saw a refurbished Mini 2 on ebay and bought it, absolutely as new.  A perfection in design, In my view.  Apart from my wife of course, and she does make a very good trifle.

I'm beginning to think rain is an every day occurrence in your location.  I'm sure you'll get a window of opportunity soon.  

I'm headed off to a dive this afternoon to check out a really cool coral reef.  I really need to make a decision on which underwater camera I need to buy so I can document some footage on some of the more interesting things I see.

Dont worry we are used to it here.   its like that for most of the winter usually.

Good thing that you are accustomed to it then.   At least your rain gear and galoshes get used and not just take up space.

I've heard of a product called Formerol that is supposed to be great for resealing boots.

Usually called Sugru in the consumer retail market.  

Formerol technology has thousands of uses in the engineering, medical, sport, tool, electronics and telecommunications industries. For specific industrial applications, it can be customized - hardness, density, resistivity and adhesive properties can be adjusted according to requirements.

They were selling that here as a soft rubber that you moulded and it would set hard after a few hours of being in the air.

Many times I've been able to exceed a use by date but like you sometimes it fails.

OK,  I'll confess.  It was 6 years out of date. .

When the fridge failed a couple of months ago I found it tucked behind something when I was emptying it.

I can relate to that.  When I decided to sell my land house and  move onto the mini-yacht I found so many things that I didn't know I still had.  I had to downsize considerably from the house to the boat so all stuff not in need was donated to Goodwill and Salvation Army.  Kept just the bare essentials.  Now I can easily found what I need.

I have a loft stuffed with stuff,  just trying to downsize would be an absolute nightmare,  I should start now for my retirement.
