Well it looks like you've done your homework.

I hate to joke but with the luck you're having, if you get it fixed and just keep it in your garage, you garage would probably collapse.

Yeah, Fel, why would Larry need a new B chanter when his Hunter is one of the nicest on the planet. It was probably someone who doesn't have a B chanter yet, but who's been keeping his eye out for a good one.

Thanks, Lewis :party:

Second that totally.

The K&Q chanter sounds like a bargain. Would grab it if I had the money...

I was wondering that myself...

Congratulations Chadd.
It certainly found a good home!

I have played this B chanter and it is great. Good luck with it and I guess you will be joining the Bee's!

Now if we could just get our hands on that Beehive set!

That's two of you guys who said today they wanted the beehive set! Ain't gettin' it!!

As I explained to the other inquiree...my wife's father has a couple of beehives on his property in West By God Virginney. I'm sure that we could arrange to get one or two shipped to interested parties. Buy yourself a queen (note to So Cal pipers...a queen bee...not the ....oh....nevermind), set hive with a little beeswax in back yard near flowers, and you'll soon have a nice drone box. Only problem is that I suppose the pitch would change as if fills up with honey.

Concertina sold.

B Chanter sold. (as mentioned before)

NSP's withdrawn. Like 'em too much to give 'em up.

Porsche. Still goes really really fast. I'm keepin' it. You'd never know the new paint...but I do notice as the reflective properties of the metallic particles is a little different. Color is matched perfectly. I suppose they did not use Porsche paint and metallic particles line up differently but I'm just fantasizing. Nobody would know that it was "different" if they had not seen the daily for 10 mos. Of course....I may just be off in the head!

They may well have used genuine Porsche paint but the alignment of the particles in a colloidal mix can be dependant on atmospheric conditions, and sun spot activity.
The particles align along the prevailing ionic path so to respray in the USA the + - alignment of the particles would be very difficult to match.
Sunspot activity creates massive particle bombardment of the ionisphere which would ionise any areas of earth beneath the bombardment.

OR

They just used cheap paint.

You should have had it painted day-glow orange so people will stop running into it all the time.
