@TAB you already have a trade. Plumbing is going to be easy for you.
I can do agricultural and gardening drainage, but I can’t do plumbing.
Come on Tabby let’s see what you can do.

once you start3 days is first big milestone , then 21 days

Yes @TAB . I smoke inside. I know I shouldn’t. When I had a Mexican family here some years ago I smoked outside so know I can do it. Have been a bit weak on smokes this afternoon but did watch long show on iview and put off smoking doing that. How’s your knee after gym? I’m impressed with your list of things you got done today. Well done you.

I was going to make that gas thing you may have seen pic @Glisten but dont have the tools to do it atm. would have been fun tho. have done similar but way more difficult things in the past .like sweating brass blocks into copper pipe think was for mobile phone or radion antenna elements like 2 inch copper tube a metre long, maybe 2mm wall trying to control heat between thin copper and like 400g brass cylinder in each end. I got a lot better at it very quickly, but guys at this place who did it all the time could get it first time most times ,solid cylindrical block had grooves machined in it for brazing material if got heat perfect, it would just dropin by itself, I usually had to push if with piece of wood. of course if braze metal gets cold, it seizes up ha ha

not struggling , doesnt matter if you smoke a packet this afternoon So long as you have a Plan not to do it anymore. if smoking outside is an issue ,smoke in bathroom at least less stuff for nicotine to stick to plus put exhaust fan on lol
get some burners and have a drink , relax, not punishment.
im going to drink now then thats it for 12 weeks while on diet
i drink 2x in like 4 weeks last year , that was a record and gets easier i think I can do it , plus if get to end and have drunk 12 x dont care, still way better than usual day by day , week by week, small picture , not long view

I’ve been watching a series from 2 years ago @Glisten Miriam Margoyle on Australia. She goes to Perth, Byron Bay and Broken Hill. I missed it when it was on I think.
