I shall be in the shed as usual at 06:00 but with added urgency as I have to finish at least one engine before the end of May. I think the answer is going to be overtime!

Have you noticed that the in-word to use as a descriptor if you are selling a knife, a flash light, or anything used outdoors is 'tactical'. I have just seen an advert for a 'tactical waterproof jacket'.
