"The spit of Brothers"
Deze blog is in het engels. De reden is dat wij willen dat de andere Abruzzi's John en George dit ook kunnen lezen.
The spit is finished. It was a lot of work it took a lot of stubbies but fair dinkum it looks better then one from BBq's Galore
We build it out of an old XL 45 cryogenic vessel or as the Dutch call it a 160 liter CSI vaatje. Tony "the fitter" told us that we could easily separate it by cutting the head and pull the inner vessel out.
He was wrong.
We tied the vessel to a telephone pole and John and I gave it our best shot but the Bugger would not give an inch.
We decided we should tie the one end to the pole and the other to Georges Prado but George was afraid the Prado would break, like these sissy cars do. At the end we had to cut off the bottom and split the vessel in two.
Now the outer vessel serves as the spit and the innervessel is converted into a stand.
It can hold a very big "Hanzir" (pig) and the spit motor is capable of turning an elephant at 6 rpm. It has two gas burners to support the charcoal.
It has not been baptised yet but this will happen very soon (after George cleaned it up and polished it).
You can take it apart so it will go from one brother to the other. The only thing is we will need a truck to move it because of the weight.
To be really honest, John did most of the work, George helped him a bit and Tony was in charge of planning, coordinating and design issues (doing nothing, telling people what to do, and stupid remarks).
We do not know if it really works and if it doesn't we will just say it is a "Work Of Art" and sell it to Linde Gas for a lot of money.
If people want to book the spit they can contact Johnny (just kidding).
The next project will be building a submarine out of a 93.0000 liter Hydrogen vessel, that will be available in march.

Oh, lekker zeg, een kerstmaaltijd, wie ging ook al weer voor wie koken? Aangezien ik al op de kinderen moet passen, lijkt het me wel gepast dat ik beloond wordt met een prachtig maal (en knaken natuurlijk!!!!).
Maareeuh over kerst gesproken, dan zit deze dame toch echt op een bootje en vaar ik over het great barrier reef, op zoek naar een paar leuke vissies!
And for John and George,
You don't have to listen to Tony, just pretend to listen, say he's a good guy, and he's happy. That's a lot easier than doing projects with him!
Greetzzzz,
Daan
Dear anonymous,
The manager of the Cherrybrook Hotel has informed me that he is considering a rise in the the rates for the single room with double bed. He feels that this could be a way to stop the rumours and gossip being told about his good frien Tony.
Dear Johndz,
The same manager is considering putting you and anyone fitting the description of an ugly around 6 foot 3 long tall Dutch speaking guy from the Rotterdam area working voor HL on the black list.
For both cases goes that I am open for any bribes (I drink Whiskey and take creditcards)
Nou jongens jullie kunnen er wat van! Ik ken John en die jongen heeft een koppie hoor. Vertaal dit maar niet voor hem, anders zwelt dat koppie nog! Prachtig stuk werk, success met het gebruik en als jullie het nog niet wisten: John en Marion zijn vegetariers.
