"go to an expensive gym, get really costly chic gym outfits"
I am reading this after coming back from gym circuit training tonight, in my
bargain bin outfits that never quite match, tonight a new chap appeared
who's t. shirt had a picture of a 50's happy family and who's caption read
"we are all happy because we eat lard"
Right on son.
If you hold the wire thumbs down, slightly wider than the base of your pot
and taught to the wheel head, draw the wire towards you, slosh clean water
on wheel head, repeat wiring action. It shouldnt buckle up underneath your
pot unless your cheesewire is a bit baggy.
Best.Pat
