The drs didn't even give him good painkillers, although my Aunty (a nurse) says that sort of pain is hard to treat. Operation was meant to be today, but they said yesterday that there's a mistake and it's next Friday. But then it seems it is only a referral to see the surgeon, and we've no idea when the actual surgery will be. <br />Meant to be on sick leave but his boss won't/can't give him time off so it's getting pretty bad.

It's fast but also slow, vibrates a heck of a lot, cramps up your hands and sends sawdust everywhere. Oh did I mention that it's my job?! Wonder why... -_- at least the others are taller so they wouldn't get so much dust in their faces...<br /><br />The plane is good, on a tripod and Dad has a little remote screen to line it up with the tops of the posts :) I think he's going to use it on the paddock too as they need to flatten out a few sections with a grader or something...<br /><br />Pippa is still not good, AB's haven't done anything so mums taking her back today for an X-ray. :(Kaygerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01734123708037191756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6994425731906758290.post-43370208569935404052017-01-26T07:53:19.514+13:002017-01-26T07:53:19.514+13:00Haha, just decided to google it.

Haha, and it would be much faster than an ordinary plane too... :P<br /><br />That is the downside of guidewires and string lines aye. It just struck me as funny for a fence when I first read it, I've only ever seen one used, and that was for getting our airstrip smooth, so one was on a tripod and the other on the bulldozer blade. Fascinating to watch. :P But yeah, it'd be ideal for a fence line, really, if its straight and flat.<br /><br />Any update on poor little Pippa?<br /><br />The trouble with spring water here is that its hard, so tastes different to rainwater, but not really in a good way. Not as bad as chlorinated though. But good springwater, like the Pupu Springs in the SI, I reckon are better than rainwater.<br /><br />Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09008881590774705984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6994425731906758290.post-86858448598378407902017-01-23T19:44:05.411+13:002017-01-23T19:44:05.411+13:00Yeah the drive it like you stole it comment was hi...Yeah the drive it like you stole it comment was him saying it needs a good run in. I guess everyone thinks differently. I dunno lol<br /><br />Yeah the laser is a good investment, so often we're doing work that needs to be perfect and can't use a guide wire, but a stringline gets moved in the wind, so this way is good. Haha send in the drones!!! Lol<br /><br />Hmm the router, curved plane, maybe? It has a rounded spinning blade of sorts that puts a rounded edge to things and it is really smooth too. But it does other things as well, like uh, what's the best description... engraving(?) wood just by using another blade/drill piece. <br /><br />She's still not great so we might be calling back in.... :(<br /><br />Yeah not too many people here have spring access. My friend Chantelle has water that runs off a local "mountain" as it's called. Like a spring too, the water tastes amazing :DKaygerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01734123708037191756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6994425731906758290.post-23124561864839675802017-01-23T18:07:18.554+13:002017-01-23T18:07:18.554+13:00Oh, and a PS.

I don't think there's really a phrase to describe just how low some people get...<br /><br />That's one thing we're lucky with here, we have a spring that has never dried up yet, it helps so much. Just a pity we can't irrigate with it, but at least it keeps all the tanks and troughs full...Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09008881590774705984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6994425731906758290.post-61830587155693579002017-01-23T17:58:38.998+13:002017-01-23T17:58:38.998+13:00Oh wow, you've been up to a lot lately!
So if...Oh wow, you've been up to a lot lately!<br /><br />So if the car guy is telling you to drive like you stole her, does she have no running in period or something? Normally you have to drive really carefully to start with, below certain speeds, no hard acceleration, all that stuff... But she looks pretty neat. ;)<br /><br />The fence looks pretty good! Want me to send the drone up to check how straight it is? :P Lol, nah, using a laser, that's getting pretty extreme, but anything to keep the clients happy, I guess! You do want to be proud of your work though, so fair enough. <br />The router, is that just another name for a curved plane? Or a slightly different tool?<br /><br />And fingers crossed that poor little Pippa gets better soon! :'(Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09008881590774705984noreply@blogger.com
