Long absence once again

A million apologies! I have been away for quite a while, over a month in fact. And what have I been doing in that month might you ask?????

 Well in the beginning I was off due to telkom being a shit provider and not giving us what we were paying for in terms of internet! Damn you telkom! lol. Then we had the unfortunate news that my Grandfather had passed away and promptly up and left for Durban for a week to be with the family and have the funeral. During this time I was writing exams. Then when we got back from Durban there was much repair to do on the house as storms were not friendly while we were away and the fridges needed cleaning out. and from then up until today I have been running around like a mad rabbit getting my car fixed up.

From a piece of rusting scrap metal to a beautiful car has taken quite a bit of work. The back right door didn't open, the back windows didn't open, there was no sound system, the front left cv boot and joint had to be replaced, hooter had to be replaced, seats had to be cleaned and covered, new floor mats, fixed the doors and windows and now have a pumping sound system, all the door handles had to be fixed and the locking mechanism on the door that didn't open had to be replaced, serviced the car including; spark plugs, petrol filter, carburetor base plate replaced, battery replaced, fuses replaced and a whole host of replacing rusted parts.

But now thankfully it is considered roadworthy in the eyes of the law. All I have to do now is re-licence the car in 21 days and change its name into that of my dads business. South African legal system here I come!!!!! Shouldn't take tooooooooooooooooo long...

Chainmaile is coming on well, the shirt now comes up to the middle of my chest all the way around and I will soon post pictures on my other blog as soon as I get bluetooth working on my pc... Also in line to be posted on my other blog are pictures of me making knives!!! YEA!!! I also found an electric blower and have learnt how to weld. Will also be showing you my first welding project which was my forge table, massive heavy piece of steel that one. My smitthy is almost complete and soon I will be pumping out knives and decor by the tonne.

Once again a million apologies but I am back again.
