New Toy

Today I was given a well used, but still perfectly functional cement mixer, which will get a fair bit of use by me, but not until the weather improves. Last year I gave away my petrol driven, fifty-year-old cement mixer, as I could not longer get parts for it, to a friend who had the same model, so that he could build one good one. Because of the snapped tendon in my right arm, together with the size and weight of the old machine, I was incapable of starting it anyway. This little beast needs a good clean, but that is all, it is electrically powered and I can still certainly throw a switch!
