Stuff you have made today

2m of lead roughly formed around a bit if 2" x 2" ready to "simply" drop into the stone gutters on the porch. I say simply, it would be if there wasn't a stone roof on it and the roof felt getting in the way.

It didn't go into too badly, about 8 Fs to the metre

I did the other one yesterday while the weather was fine. No pics as I was lathered in Soudal lead sealant.

The sun is cracking the flags today, I added the two solar batteries I bought a couple of weeks ago to the existing battery just in time. I've exported over 100kWh since installing the solar last autumn, hopefully this and the solar diverter will stop this. Now I know it all works I'll tidy up the cabling and move onto the solar diverter that directs any surplus into the immersion heater.

I have lost weight by cutting out a lot of carbon. and eating lots of fats, meat, and other protein. It also seems that I'm less prone to heartburn with this regimen.

The Atkins-ish diet...it also works for me. Sweets go first, then bread, spuds. It's the lack of fibre that's the issue. Need greens or Dynarod.

Cut some more aluminium on the plasma for the guard to the new dimensions. I never cut out the logo as I was always intending to engrave it.
Anodised it then engraved then cut/bent a stainless bracket that would constrain the wires to stop them getting munched up by the chain.

Got it fitted and really quite pleased with it

Slow release, though.
I can have a bowl of porridge and my blood sugar doesn't budge.

I tried porridge in the morning. Made with milk, made with water, made half and half. Chucked dried fruit in, nuts, seeds, honey at various times just to try and make it more filling. It just makes me want a fry up afterwards.

Finished milling machine lube thingy with new fittings that arrived today.
The reservoir empties pretty quick but at least it's going to the right place and can be controlled with the new ball valve.

Following on from yesterday. The new boards are on the shed roof. Iwas on until 830 last night. Got up this morning and felt like I'd been run over. Never mind where there's a will there's a way.

Aye she all tarped up. Ive not long knocked off putting that on. A 6m x 9m tarp is a proper handful when the winds getting up.

We sometimes have porridge for tea, yes other folk think we're odd as well

The thing with going to ketosis is to get fat burning. Near as possible to zero carbs. I use almond flour to make bread when I'm determined and fasting. I'm due for a this as I've ploughed on the weight since I lost my dog.
3 days I reckon on and then the hunger pangs disappear.
We're in the wrong thread for this...

Gregg's is my downfall at the mo. Can't resist the morning bacon, sausage, omelette baguette and a large latte for I think a fiver.

I like Greggs but that seems excessive.
