Corr you can’t say that before I’m about to embark on a trip to the Pyrenees. Just dropping the message in to hope his intrusive locker buying thoughts prevail. He’s long overdue a reckless spend up. |

You really do need an airlocker.
Now you've thought about it, you have to have one. In fact two, one at each end. The die is cast!  |

It's a good idea to understand what you have and how to use it before doing something remarkably stupid like that!
Remember the old saying, "engage brain before any other equipment" or something along those lines. |

Well…..
If anyone is wondering just wtf the waxoil cat comment is…here you go My nickname is not “Mr Bump” for no good reason My father was exentric and a bit bonkers … as I grow older …. 🤦♂️ Enjoy …. Unfortunately the Cat has now passed on, but he lived to a good age and certainly never went rusty ……………….. One of my Pratt moments ?, or just “unlucky” The winch event I’m organising looms close, very close, Sunday to be precise, and I have been burning the midnight oil to get things sorted on the 90 V8 as I am COC…. The new 12,000 Hydraulic Winch is working (a tale in itself) he cage is 90% done (all the inside tight to the bodywork done as per ealier post), radio is in (ta Jon), ARB lockers work, cubby box fitted (CB Going in it), and loads of other work has been done…….. Waxoil…. I really wanted to get some of this into the chassis before I started using it, so tonight was planned to be the night for waxoiling the inside of the chassis…. I had gone to halfords and bought 2 gallons, and knocked off work early… I also had the real benefit of Sue (SWMBO) was out tonight, so I had since 3.00pm been shoving the 2 gallon cans into the sink with near boling water……. I should have known things were going to go “slightly wrong” when I started…. I decided to use Jons Waxoil gun, and my compressor, I had the propane burner on in the workshop since 3.,00pm flat out and it was like the sahara, in fact it was so hot I decided a T shirt and shorts was the dress code……… Grabbing some white spirit to further thin the waxoil I entered the kitchen and unscrewed the waxoil lid… Thhhhuuuumpppppppp !…grwat big snotty big dollop spewed out over the kitchen worksurface........, no probs I thought, ...I’ll sort that out when I’ve finished, as I might make "a little bit more mess yet", .....glad Sues not in…. Clutching bloody hot waxoil injector thingy, part filled with waxoil and mixed with very very warm white spirit I squirted and soaked the chassis blasting away, and also practising holding my breath .....as it went misty in the workshop…. 1 Gallon later I was nearly there, I was at the rear cross member, with yet another huge refill……. I ought to point out that I had also decided that at some of the angles I was at pulling and holding the trigger was a pain in the Ar&e...( I have a really bad back) so I had devised a cunning lock of an elastic band on the trigger so that I could let it do it things whilst it sprayed away…… Shove tube into hole and pull trigger….lock and waggle etc… Enter my wifes love of her life….. The cat…. It sat there and looked at me the way only a cat can….it sniffed (unapprovingly) the dripped waxoil, and I said… “Huh, you don’t want to be in here matey, this stuff will stick to your fur like sh*t to a blanket”……and at that very point the jammed on tube extension came off the gun… Could I release the elastic band round the trigger ?… Could I Boll*cks…. The gun squirted warm waxoil / white spirit out at a force never so far experienced, one particularly good jet hit the cat, who bolted, knocking over the 2/3 empty (1/3 full) can of hot waxoil / white spirt mix, which flowed oh so well under the landy, and into my clothes T shirt and clothes and skin areas exposed..., but I was still fighting with the hot octopus trying to switch the damned thing off, but I failed, I was saved when it just ran out….. Just when I thought nothing could get worse than lying under a Land Rover with waxoil soaked clothes, waxoil dripping onto my hair and face, and running into my ears…. Some waxoil drpped onto the lead lamp…. Ping…. Blackness……. Blackness as it also pinged the fuse for the lighting circuit, getting myself out of the underneath of the landy proved friutfull, in that I knew all the places that waxoil had “leaked” …… Removing dripping clothes I entered house in “minimal Clothes” to resolve fuse prob, when Lights went on I saw the cat… I AM GOING TO DIE IF SHE SEES THIS ! Here Puddie cattie…… This did not improve the sink / kitchen area 1 little jot, .....ever tried holding a 'waxoiled cat' in a sink with water and rags, and especially when cat does not enjoy it ?…. 1 hour later cat was scrubbed and very  off with me, I’ve had 2 baths, and also cleaned the bath it seems that the bath will not be rusty….scrubbed kitchen fllor, sink, worktop
Will she notice…. Cat stinks, garage sticks, alley way stinks, I stink, kitchen smells of lemon washing up liquid, which strangely we seem to nearly be out of ?….floor stinks…… She will be back any minute……. [gulp] Nice job on the Landy tho.......  ))
