A left-handed 48-inch pipe wrench should get the job done with no big problem.

Ok Derek ... I have to ask

completely off topic

my Canadian English is very poor and I have no one around to ask ...

I already figured out who's SWMBO ! I admit we have em here in Belgium too.

but I got stuck on these today
I remember I looked up TNAI before but you're not talking about training some nurses are you?

so what does it stand for?

EMWLTKASAP
someone want's to K as soon as possible?

YOS
your one and only surveyor?

TNAI
the trained nurses association of India?

In case it takes Derek a bit to get back, here you go............

SWMBO = she who must be obeyed
TNAI = the North Aboyne Irregular (referring to his home and the fact that he is a bit odd)
EMWTKASAP = Enquiring minds would like to know as soon as possible (note the British use of E instead of I)

YOS = Ye olde surveyor.....I think

Mon Cher Ami Christof-

The use of short form or acronyms on the "Previous Board" was encouraged by young Kent McMillan and The North Aboyne Irregular (TNAI) ..........

This comes partly from geography and partly from being accused of seeing things a bit differently (irregularly)at times ..........

'Aboyne' is a place in Scotland that was used to name a small hamlet between Fergus and Elora in Ontario.

The farm south of us is called "Aboyne".

Previous to our moving here this farm was "Maple Bend Farm" as the road we front on Colborne Street has an "S" or 'bend' in it.

The maple trees along the road are about 100+ years old and have lived their life to a point they are dying of old age and we are replanting new ones.

Thus a new name was needed.

Being of original thought (Not !) I (and She Who Must Be Obeyed, SWMBO)decided on being original and calling our "money pit" (farm) "North Aboyne Farm".

Do not apologize for your English.

It is terrific, particularly compared with my Belgian, that is non existent except for "Inspector Poirot" !

Ok Derek ... I have to ask

Yes, She Who Must Be Obeyed (Alexandra, daughter of, sister of two, granddaughter and niece of UK surveyors (Her grandfather negotiated the purchase of the Northern Ireland House of Parliament Lands)

I admit we have em here in Belgium too.

but I got stuck on these today

Enquiring Minds Would Like To Know As Soon As Possible

Olde(very) English way of closing a letter used by my great great grandfather David Gibson, in his correspondence ........ Your Obedient Servant.

your one and only surveyor?

TNAI The North Aboyne Irregular

the trained nurses association of India?

I've sent you an E-message too.

Cheers

OK that does it.

Derek,
Let me know if you would like free help for a week sometime (I work for food, beer and shelter). That is if they will let me into Canada.

YMO&HS
