          The ones that have been wrapped with paper or plastic bags are the ones that are sweet and protected from birds and squirrels. The small species are sour, good for pickling or cooking curry's and chutney.

              Ditto, tons of respect for anyone who takes a rescue animal. You're a star Richard!

                SWMBO says not to tell him he's a mongrel to his face. He had an accident with a passing car and injured his left hind leg. Vet says he'll heal but might develop a slight limp that might not be noticeable. So far no problem with his legs. He was the same size as our largest cat, now they're wondering what kind of cat is this towering over them as they play.

                  Cute. Best dogs are often of indeterminate breed. Gotta love those ears.

                    Came across one mango version that can be eaten both green and ripened. It's the apple mango.

                      SWMBOs the star, Doug. She feeds the dogs everyday at her place of work and I got a call from her to get Sebastian to the vet after his accident. Was looking for someone to take him but we got attached.

                      Ears flopping viewed from the back as he trots. Now he has one up and the other down.

                          Always something new crops up. The row of grab handles I thought were there are actually vents in a funny sought of way. Here's what they look like attached...

                          Made them from careful cutting of individual square holes on a single strip of thin plastic then slicing them into equal lengths and glueing them on. I thought of drilling holes but the cut outs were deep enough.
                          Three grab handles we added from brass wire.

                              Amazing as always, Richard. This is going to end up looking better than the real ones I have seen.

                                Thanks Scottie and John...I'd be so lucky. Some friends say if I leave off the rotors it can pass as a spaceship. :smiling6:
                                I swear I need to paint it soon and start on the base it will sit on.
