MFV BF494 'Pansy', an old Motor Fifie Conversion

And a smaller deck! We have a lot of stuff on the boat at the moment, most of which is being fed into our antique MachineMart (C 2009) wood burning stove. By the way Skip that hole what you cut in the roof is a little larger now as the chimmley is setting fire to anything within 14cm of it. We have purchased some more big green radios, a couple of wide screen TV's to use as monitors so we can watch seabed TV and monitor any collisions we are about to have in 3D realtime and a pinball machine (Note to self, disable tilt warning) A new deck is in the offing after my SDS drilling attempts today - It's got a life of it's own skip, keeps diving into the timber and making a break for downstairs. Lump hammer and cold chisel, now ya talking.

unaccustomed as I am to slipping a little something in from behind (ahem) but thought I'd share a thought that crossed my mind following a wee telecon' with No 2 this afternoon. The wee stovey thing, open the throttle, wind in the right direction and aye, it does get a bit 'furnacey'. The stove in question, is a called the 'boxwood' long thin with a door at the end, have a look on machine mart's site and you'll see what we are on about. Anyhoo... a good while back, we did get a request or 2 from a funeral director about potentially using the old girl to despatch someone's nearest and dearest to the deep, that thought came back to me today with the realisation that we could be in a position for a world first, a totally and utterly unique service, that not even an Americanist has thought up -cremations at sea for midgets, the stoves the right shape, right size and certainly does the do on the burny front - any takers??

*Peeep*

You'd be hard pushed to get a rabbit up the furnace bracket Skip - A Meerkat perhaps but the market's a bit limited round Wallsend way!

Saying that though once you find one Meerkat there's often a few more more Hinging aroond. Nosy buggers aren't they? Rodent Rubberneckers !
