6pot's latest activity

heavy rain at the moment forecasts 50mm and thunderstorms all day water tank full to the brim so looks like a restfull Sabbath may watch some rivercottage after lighting the log burner 💿+💻+💺

Are cat when younger would catch and eat crickets and grass hoppers we knew when he was successful as he would pass wind that smelled like rotten cabbage, glad he's older now , 😷😷😷

One of our previous cats would catch anything, spiders, birds and mice, another never did and had a small jumping spider she would watch for ages as he webbed up and moved around ... Even this old boy still tries to catch bluebottles, sometimes...

I have to confess that I am not very "up" in how all this works. I thought that a sacrificial anode works by oxidizing more quickly than the steel the tank is made from. I have no idea about what ours are made of. I just know that our water is...

Just checked and yes you could sell the leather for good money.

You could probably replace the leather interior with a cloth one and make a profit. Only ever driven a hired 6 speed one. Only any use on M-ways. Or A roads with lots of dual cabbageways. Glad the sat nav is working! Still sounds like a nice...

Drop arm ball joint replaced, bit of a ball ache (get it 🫣), but got there in the end! The atb diff helped mask the problem a little, but it got to the point where it was getting silly! Back to cornering on rails!

Bought some lead substitute additive for it. The lady in the petrol station was interested to hear what I was buying it for, I don't think they sell very much of it.

I must say I don't really know either, I'm just aware of it and I've seen that it gets eaten away after a while. I think you're right in that the anode will degrade in preference to the tank. Our water probably is a bit alkaline, in our case I...

We don't really know the exact reason but there was some kind of issue which resulted in an 'infraction' early on which is the kiss of death. She's been fighting it in the courts for about 15 years. There's been two lorries up and down the...

Remind us why it got demolished. Poor people. :(

Looks in very good nick, you could buy a full sized spare wheel for it. I hate those small spare wheels, especially on a big car.

Very smart. Here's a sticker for your tailgate ------ 😁

One wat I just bort :)

The lovely lady in the shop set it up for me, while we chatted about cars etc.😀😀😀

Our cat earned his keep today, he caught a rat. I did take a picture of it but it's not a very nice thing to post... He's only 7 though, we thought he wasn't bothered about mice and rats because whining for more brekkies is easier, seeing as...

Mine is still very fluffy ...

Here is our Fluffy little rag-doll mix. Name is "Mitsey". :D Always sneaking onto my bed so it is a struggle to claim my place each night.

Mornin Lovely start to the day weatherwise Stay holy today all 🙂 edit... thought it was Sunday :oops:

Oh Wow! Getting on a bit then. Happy Birthday Pusscat. :) My "Scratchy" is 15 too. Getting all threadbare she is, the poor old gal.

It's my cat's 15th birthday ...

Morning All. :D Happy Saturday. :) Have a great day. :D

I used to work with a chap who always failed a breathalyser test, yet never drank in his life ... He had a metabolic condition where his body made it's own alcohol in his saliva ... had to carry a hospital card around with him ...

@Hippo Found you this.. so its a mug for a mug..........🤣🤣

Interesting that your water is that soft. Ours is incredibly hard and we have to have sacrificial anodes as well and they do get eaten away - every couple of years I used to drain down our 150L heater tank and bucket out about 30kg of scale...

I don't know where you live but in our place in France the water is so soft we have the opposite problem it can be so acid it eats tanks. We catch all the water off our roofs in a big underground tank. We have to have sacrificial anodes in out...

Yes, more angry I think. It is a long story, quite complicated I think but she's been through the courts, exhausted all avenues and ended up with a criminal conviction on top of it all. We're not sure of the full details but something went...

And then it was gone... a dark day.

Yes its ion exchange so the hardness ions are replaced by salt ions. I was quite disappointed when we first started using it, you should see the state of the kitchen sink (stainless steel). I should have realised that sparkling clean was...

Do you have a water butt, or two? Water softeners being what they are, the deposit might be salt or salt compunds.
