I made the Lathe-y parts for another 2WD unit this afternoon. :) That's 2 units. Just weld them up and they are done. :) I will keep one of them and give the other one away to a team that will go out there and test it very thoroughly. :)

Morning All. :D Cool but not currently raining. :) A shopping day, seems our local big supermarket is having "supply difficulties" and has many empty shelves. :( I wonder if this is a trend that will grow? Have a lovely day. :D

Mrs. C was snipping birch twigs with secateurs to put in the "brown bin" and when I said Why on earth are you doing that? she looked at me blankly. I reminded her that she had insisted on buying a battery-powered hedge-trimmer. What are birch twigs if not "hedgey-bits"? The mind boggles. So I...

Smashing, are the bumper lights all legal like?

In just 24 hours my "youngest" child will be 39 stone years old! My goodness it brings home to you how old YOU are when you see them hitting such ages. LOL

Another Scam has appeared. SMS message saying you have outstanding parking fines and tries to take you to an authentic looking site. The threat is that if you don't pay, further action will be taken and additional fines will be issued. Yawn.

Morning All. :D Slept thru my alarum. :( All caught up now though. Have a magical Monday. :D

Very Nice! :)

My little 16" Bar Ryobi fails to switch the brake off and overheats. All the parts are as they should be, but following the cutting of a lot of Eucalyptus there is a rock hard gummy deposit in the brake drum that I cannot shift, so it is always trying to STOP. I can release the brake ONLY if I...

Luckily no. I will have a clearing up job to do this week. Shame my chainsaw is borked. :(

What's an IEM when at home?

Semi panicked calling from the other side of my workshop door while I was welding. "Dan, that's tree's come down in the garden." Stop everything to go look. Yup a rotten old birch (c.30 years) with dome interesting fungal growths 20 foot up has snapped off at a main bifurcation and half of it is...

Morning All. :D Sleep was interrupted by an intruder. :( "Alan" (the ginger thug cat) suddenly appeared at the foot of the bed demanding food with menaces. Basically, it was a case of "Feed me, or I am having toes for breakfast". I withdrew my toes from his range, but my wife got up and fed...

Night folks! :) Off 2 my pit for some Zzzzzzz's

Most of the stuff I make to please myself and learn "how" ends up as scrap in the end. :)

Sounds great! I hope you made loads of money. I think country folk are generally a bit more friendly than townies. :)

Chilli-bean cowboy meal tonight, but with grilled-cheese cauli not rice. :) Not sure what we are watching... Jackal Episode 6 I think and maybe another Dune Prophecy (both very good TV). :)

Morning All. :D Papered and fueled up. :) Not quite so cold but a bit windy. Have a smashing Saturday. :D

My "Smart Meter" Actually works and I am tracking it in a daily spreadsheet . Castle clarke is burning £10..12/day on energy. A pretty consistent 16Kwh on trickery and the rest on Gas. It is pretty much a 50:50 split pricewise as gas is 25% the cost/Kwh of trickery. :)
