An inspiration to us.

[milly]

Mate of mine with MS, I remember when he could walk a couple of decades ago but in great agony. He then had his something medically done to his spine and been wheel chair bound ever since. The place he lives in he built from the ground up mostly by himself made all the wheelchairs of various sorts all powered welds and converts vans and trailers runs events at festival's put in all his solar panels, the only thing I helped him with was erecting the wind turbine. He don't like sympathy and has a strange sense of humour which upsets the milenials. Whenever I visit he always addresses me a gimp and I him as twat. But he just keeps going now building speakers and said he not going to die yet as he don't want to make my ex wife happy.

Cool!

His hands work, my legs work, -MasterBlaster!

A good inspiration and apprehension... You know why milly.

I bet he has some neat electrical systems

He might want to check out building vertical axis wind turbines.

Popped in today to see what Mingu is upto.He is now extending his polytunnel and finished off one wheelchair he was making whilst I was up last time, opened a campsite on his bit of land and is now in the process of making a monster all terrain wheelchair. He was going to use a Kabuta 3 cylinder diesel but decided its to small and is waiting for delivery of a 2.6 litre Nissan petrol engine to slap in it.

That's going to be some wheel chair.
Good to see he is still making mad stuff.

He is indeed an inspiration.

Excellent progress! A true inspiration to me.

Where does he get all the parts, pieces, and equipment?

He has a dodgy friend who has a side car outfit.

I could have skipped reading and just seen the pictures to come to the conclusion that he's a decent human, he has a Weimaraner after all! (I've had quite a few of them breeds. They are awesome dogs)

Mostly off people with more money than sense and are going to chuck away, local sale's and new stuff from certain companies he has researched in Europe and Asia.

They are a nice dog. Daft as a brush he be.

Is "Daft as a brush he be" Welsh for dumb as a bag of bricks?

It's the same saying I should think 😊

I think I'll add it to my list.
