Happy New Year to all.

My New Year's resolution is to fire that puppy up - and I'm close to doing that. Maybe tomorrow or Saturday.

Did you move to The Netherlands to meet women in windows? Not that there's anything wrong with that........

Mom's family was from Hartlepool. They moved to Canada when her mom's dad died (before The Dole) - I think it was 1910 or so. So you're safe with me!

Yep I married a Dutch bird. She just got rid of me though so I guess I'll be doing a Cartman soon.

I noticed that too! 'King hilarious that you'll be dead but everyone else still has to suffer my trivial DIYs - Look on the bright side John! (I think I'm the same vintage - so may be I shouldn't be chuckling too loudly)
