Today I acquired...........

[roblane65]

A hatred to bloody annoying ebay sellers.

Bought an item,
paid for item,
All happy.

4days later got refund,
"Error with buyers postage adress"
Like hell!! Never had any issue with the 200 other items sent there

And because the economy has changed I'm now out of pocket with no item and feel short changed as should be refunded the full outgoing amount!!

I would use worse language but I know it's a friendly forum here

SO what didn't aqquire then ?

SO what didn't aqquire then ?

Was "buying" a walcom kombat spray gun.
Wanted one for a while, but will have to wait a bit longer.

Stumbled upon these earlier in the clearance section in Homebase, while in there looking for something else which they didn’t have. I sure some of you got some earlier in the year , they were £7.50 each, handles a bit scratched but that doesn’t matter

Fear not my yellow friend!
The crane had been taken down and there were 16 nuts and even more washers just laying around , I thought mmm they'll come in handy one day....

I’ve got some massive bolts for connecting deep sea pipelines. I acquired them in Israel. They have some sort of special paint coating

Had them 12 years now. I will find a use for them

 

[seriesonewelder]

Nuts!

2 of them.

And some BFO washers.

Pressie time after a week away.

A new truckers map to replace the one that's recently died. (Never trust the satnav 100%, especially after it tried to route me under an 11'6" rail bridge last week, and my wagon is 12' tall...)
OH bought me the Japanese whisky as a treat, never tried it before so looking forward to a "Garasu ka kon'ya", which apparently means a glass or two tonight, in Japanese . Kanpai .
And the crisps are a treat for OH as she loves them. Parked overnight outside their factory the other night and asked if they have a proper shop as well as the online shop. They don't, but the lovely guy I talked to, who by coincidence is into scuba diving same as me, gave me a box of various flavoured free samples. To paraphrase my OH, shy bairns get nowt .

If that's you on the right, I admit to being devastated to find out that you're not Rico Daniels of "The Salvager" fame .

And my latest acquisition is a shiny new stainless steel Thermos flask in a copper finish, to replace the green one in the background that sprang a leak last week. Expensive, but a great piece of kit so worth every penny.

[Farside]

Nothing welding, bike, workshop or tool related.
An air fryer.
Hoyuss... now I can enjoy fried fish without eating grease or oil with it.
Just gave it a trial run with some potato wedgies. Lovely and crisp.
One of these...

I'll have to ration myself now. Too easy to get carried away with this kind of thing.

So having missed out on a liqui tilter several months ago I set about creating an alternative. So I bought a simple roller tilter...then I bought an extra large farm jack...and the kit to connect it to the hub.

It was a superb plan and I was very proud of myself....what could possibly go wrong....until this came up for sale

So I put in a cheeky offer.....and the guy accepted it straight away. I'm actually very happy as its what I wanted all along....just a bit sad that I'll have to sell off the jack and accessories to pay for it
