Mission critical failure.

If anyone happens to be in a position to be able to get a replacement bandsaw blade of irregular size before the end of next week, your call would be welcome.

Sir Isaac update

Due to some engineer issues we’ve had to spend some time making alternate (pronounced expensive) arragements and our few work days have been cut down with the farting about. The extreme heat and sunburn hasn’t helped either.

However the throwing arm has progressed well and the new engineering work will be ready for us to pick up on Wednesday morning so expect some more photos on Thursday.

Meanwhile a pictorial lesson in dowel jointing catapults (can also be used for Viking longships but we’ll speak more of that next year).

Take one throwing arm. Here’s one I prepared earlier…

Drill holes..

Get your dowels cut to size and sloted and assemble your  wedges. Here are some I prepared earlier…

Glue dowels and hammer into place. This must be done left handed or you’re wrong. Ok just wrong, got that?

Glue and hammer in wedges.

Sand smooth to taste.

Merry Christmas

I’ll be back in a week.

Send someone a card for Christmas.

Snigger

Ya’ll may need chains for that thar gorebull warming all over Vegas. Three inches of it.

Yes send all my tax dollars to Russia, help save the desert plams from snow… err.

They just can’t break the habbit.

After a decade of taking things that don’t belong to them the labour party just can’t help themselves any more.

A Labour Party staffer was still working in Parliament yesterday despite being charged with stealing wine from the Press Gallery’s Christmas party.

Aidan Smith was arrested after allegedly being caught taking the wine to a car outside Wednesday night’s party, which was attended by Prime Minister John Key and a collection of other ministers and senior MPs.

A group of up to four people, also believed to be Labour staffers, were seen acting suspiciously as they came in and out of the party, which was held in Parliament’s Doidge room and spilled into the area outside.

This collection of socialists actually helped themselves to about $400 worth of other peoples wine, actually much of it was donated by the US Embasy so they were stealing evil Amerikan wine! It wasn’t a simple casse of on the way out grabbing a bottle left over, it was a multiman mission to uplift a substantial amount of someone elese property and they worked hard to conceal their activities. One nob was caught and like all good socialists the rest ran and left him to it under the socialist/rat/sinking ship clause. Shame about the security cameras.

I’m awaiting the “just a silly drunken prank” spin at 0900 this morning along with the hey look we’ll pay for it sorry about that, nothing to see here, move on bullshit that is the hallmark of the left.

Lock.them.up!!! Time we started applying some actuall acontability to the politicians and their pets. If Rangi Jones from Ruatoria lifted $400 worth of DB from his local it wouldn’t be kid gloves time.

Project Update: Sir Isaac

Well after much farting about  and general requisitioning of tools we’ve made some progress.

The wheels were first. Here they are glued and clamped. They’ve already been cut and are awaiting the engineer to make the tyres before we cut an axle hole in and band them.

The base has been cut and will be assembled once the axles have been axleised, made round if you will.

Some scarfing was done so I guess that makes us scarfies or something. Over the weekend we’ll be inserting 3.6 meters of doweling into these joins and wedging them… asuming we don’t get bored with work and take Chucky out for play in all this gorebull warming we’re getting.

Casting of the new ammunition was a success and we’ll be making more 1.1kg cement balls in the unlikely event that we have time to do it before we hit event season… in three weeks time.

Member when I sez I kills you last hooman…

Whenever I feel I’m not making progress…

brains trusts like these make me feel good about my catapults.

Really good.

And my risk management plan has no hit 20 pages not counting individual machine operating requirements.

Bring me… the PHONE!

Just don’t take anyone who is blind of course because they’ll threaten to call the cops on you if they have a guide dog. In a clear violation of the Disability Discrimination Act Alun Elder-Brown was prevented from taking his dog into the establishment on religious grounds and then threatened with the police when he objected.

“I was made to feel like a piece of dirt. They told me I couldn’t come in because it was against their religious beliefs to have a dog in the restaurant.

The owner is trying to make this go away by claiming it was a mistake and the dog was not barred on relgious grounds but rather hygiene – however;

He showed a card issued by the Institute of Environmental Health Officers certifying he and his dog were allowed into any premises but an argument ensued and the owners threatened to call the police if he did not leave.

Eveidently we have a culteral incompatability. This is the West, we like dogs. They have lived with us since we first started working together is a food/security exchange deal a VERY long time ago. They crossed the seas with us, fought alongside us in many battle and still do so today. From the great butrish war dogs with studded collars to the happy go lucky dogs who can sniff out explosives from meters away. Dogs are a part of our police forces and aid in saving lives and tracked down bad people every day. We have a special relationship with these semi-tame wolves. If you can’t live in a society that can get on with other species then planes leave daily.

And as for the dining experience, why not try fish and chips. Its your culture, use it or lose it.

Vist Theo for a daily catelogue of death of Britain.

Now to see if there’s a market for mohammad squeaky chew toys because frankly I’m sick to bloody death of one group being faux offended by my existance and I may as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb.
