I don't think it matters how much room we have in the work shop it is never enough, my work space is small but the wood storage area is large, wood is not easy to store

I have a Dell desktop and a dell laptop both 4 years old, both have been re-booted and should last a while yet, they are both slow as we are not on high speed connection 54mbps, that is through copper wire

I never played anything except the fool, but I would have loved to have been able to play a musical instrument but that is to late now

In OZ it is the tropical rains but not normally that bad and it is in the northern regions as a rule, in NZ it unusual  to get such heavy down pours at this time of year but the world is upside down at present, where I am in central NZ we are having a most unusual dry spell and warm with it,which I am enjoying, this may lead us into a warm summer

I am right handed but can use both hands when doing my woodcraft but nothing else, I find when doing work on the lathe it is a lot easier to be left and right handed

We are OK where we are but there are parts of the country not fairing so well, but we are not as bad as it is in OZ's northern territories where they have evacuated an entire city because of flooding.
Thanks for you concern and I hope all is well State side

Nice job but I don't think I know anyone that smokes now, but there may be another application it could be used for
