The read temperature in my garage is 40 degC, feels like 45, and you get absolutely soaked in 10 minutes of light work... Norway feels like a dream!

Yes I bought a mill. No point going small and limiting yourself. I want to be able to get a set of crankcases on there. Plenty of projects await. I also upgraded my lathe with a European style QC tool post and have a 2 axis DRO awaiting fitment. I have plenty to learn about using both but it's nice to have the ability to do a lot of things I previously had to put on the back burner. It's difficult to find people to machine stuff these days let alone do it right so this gives me some independence. I have a Centauro crank here that's had the pin reground to the first undersize. The pin has been ground tapered and with the wrong radius so the bearing shells rubs on the radius! Phil

I'll bet that costs a couple of cents in winter. I hope the shanty is well insulated.... PS: mine isn't well insulated or well heated. I think I might perhaps be a little jealous. You bastard.

Very close. At the end of the day, the songs are both a simple 12 bar blues. The AC/DC song was always fairly obvious as such. I was a little surprised when I worked out that the Prince song is also not really much more than that.

Good and bad things all over. Have a buddy in Houston, doesn’t ride much, to hot and a bit unsafe. Cheap Quotas up here . Cheers Tom.

And now the trick question: what does this have musically (in the sense of music theory) in common with the AC /DC song? docc, are you listening?

Have I already posted that? Probably. It's one of the best songs they ever did.

Not me, not me.....

Another really great example of the music this thread is about. This one from @ScuRoo:

You know you live in Norway when the winter project starts in July!

I just use the tacho or engine sound. Above 7000 change up. Below 3000 change down.
