Sand Bag!

Whilst I am sure that my MiniArt T34 Egyptian Tank would be at home with a sand bag or two this particular reference is a UK vehicle registration plate. There a lot of 'doctored' plates on vehicles where spacings, layout  and character shapes are altered to make something else. You don't however see many standard plates where at first glance and the brain filling in gaps or reading what should be there they are relevant to their vehicle or owner. 

A case in point today where a tipper truck from a local sand and gravel merchant was behind me on my bike ride early this morning. It overtook me but due to a steep hill and gravity acting in my favour on my large frame, I caught up with it as it waited for a gap in the traffic at a junction to join the main road. I managed to get this quick picture of the truck with its SAND BAG registration plate. It amused me anyway!.

Back at WMD HQ, the Man Cave oven saw a very brief visit where I have painted the tow cables rust colour. Due to the nozzle of the paint bottle being partially blocked, I ended up spraying a lage amount of paint out so in a bid not to waste it parts of the track were painted. With this heat progress is slow which I also tell Mrs. Woody when she enquires as to the progress of the jobs on her list! Time for another ice cream!
