I did another test run in my car for 25 minutes. All systems nominal as they say. Checked the fault codes (all clear) when I got back. Due to the weather I haven&#8217;t entirely got it back into use. So next week hopefully I will do useful things like lugging stuff to the re-cycling center etcetera where if it does through a wobbly it can be managed. I am in the AA. Just don&#8217;t want to risk on a paid gig outing. Also tested a bit of recording gear that I have not used for 2 years, That is OK too. Part of the Vicky inheritance. Vicky brought a 24 track recorder about 3 weeks before exiting this mortal realm. I used it to record an album for Jons band and also for a demo for Orchard when we were starting out. Since then its been sitting on the shelf getting dusty. It works OK though so I will try and use it a bit again. I went to pick up some makeup (the work of the devil I know) from the amazon locker at Morrisons and I realised that I still move very quickly compared to most people of my age. I zoomed across the car park and back and it struck me. Why am I hurrying? I am not on a schedule nor am I carrying orders up the line from the general staff. I am either half a sleep or bounding off like an uncoiled spring at times&#8230; Mad I tell ya&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"604\" height=\"728\" data-attachment-id=\"178345\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/glass-cage.com\/dianas_blog\/2024\/11\/27\/nothing-is-real-soggy-old-fields-forever\/my-old-folky-look\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/glass-cage.com\/dianas_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/My-Old-Folky-Look-scaled.jpg?fit=2124%2C2560&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"2124,2560\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;SM-G950F&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"My Old Folky Look\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/glass-cage.com\/dianas_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/My-Old-Folky-Look-scaled.jpg?fit=604%2C728&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/glass-cage.com\/dianas_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/My-Old-Folky-Look-850x1024.jpg?resize=604%2C728&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-178345\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/glass-cage.com\/dianas_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/My-Old-Folky-Look-scaled.jpg?resize=850%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 850w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/glass-cage.com\/dianas_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/My-Old-Folky-Look-scaled.jpg?resize=249%2C300&amp;ssl=1 249w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/glass-cage.com\/dianas_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/My-Old-Folky-Look-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C925&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/glass-cage.com\/dianas_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/My-Old-Folky-Look-scaled.jpg?resize=1275%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1275w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/glass-cage.com\/dianas_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/My-Old-Folky-Look-scaled.jpg?resize=1700%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 1700w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/glass-cage.com\/dianas_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/My-Old-Folky-Look-scaled.jpg?w=1208 1208w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/glass-cage.com\/dianas_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/My-Old-Folky-Look-scaled.jpg?w=1812 1812w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 604px) 100vw, 604px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Here is an oldie for you from 2020, &#8220;Play Time&#8217;s Over&#8221;<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" allow=\"autoplay\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/809974396&#038;color=%238c8cc8&#038;auto_play=false&#038;hide_related=false&#038;show_comments=true&#038;show_user=true&#038;show_reposts=false&#038;show_teaser=true\"><\/iframe><div style=\"font-size: 10px; color: #cccccc;line-break: anywhere;word-break: normal;overflow: hidden;white-space: nowrap;text-overflow: ellipsis; font-family: Interstate,Lucida Grande,Lucida Sans Unicode,Lucida Sans,Garuda,Verdana,Tahoma,sans-serif;font-weight: 100;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/dianastone\" title=\"Diana Stones Glasscage\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;\">Diana Stones Glasscage<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/dianastone\/play-times-over\" title=\"Play Times Over\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;\">Play Times Over<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Floods and things abounding at present.
