All the bags say Cape Town but this is really Hout Bay Harbour and in winter.
Its a nice splash of colour though.

A day at the office goes like this Hillman Imp door glass fitting
At the moment the total rebuild of the 1971 Hillman Imp Deluxe has reached the re fitting of the door glass, not my favourite job as they had specialists fitting glass when the car was new and its now a learning process,.
Coppaslip as was applied originally.
So just when you understand the process on the first door the second door goes so much faster and then you forget all about it as there may not be another job like this for some years?
The stop bar has to be in the correct position to make sure the vent window opens just far enough.
The frames were blasted and cleaned then sprayed with DTM black gloss paint.
Fitted and working well, even the original rubbers are in good shape.
One Hillman Imp vent light refitted, its a days work to do one and the wind down window in the same door.
How easy can this be? try it and see!

Its not about boats but I found this interesting and a bit creepy
The oven buzzer went off, and Kate froze the DVR, and this is what was on the screen. This image was inserted several times in an American Idol commercial that was aired in the middle of a Glee episode that played on May 10 at 8:00 pm. I stepped through the commercial with the DVR in slow motion and took some pics of the many images. The funny thing about the images was they had already appeared twice at that time, and we hadn't consciously seen them. But when you know it is there, you can see it very briefly flash.
There were other images, like the one below also embedded in the commercial. I'm not a black helicopter guy by any means, but it does seem a bit creepy to me that the commercial was using subliminal message images.
Does it work, or is it legal or ethical? I don't know, but I think I'm going to stop watching these shows. Missing them won't change my life one iota. I have a pile of good books to read, and many stories to finish.
