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

No but it tends to be a lot less hectic when you do it at walking pace.

How can you fall of a bike, when you are pushing it along?

 

[Jan-DIY]

Need to restock my sticks.
Now got about 150kg of this scrap.
But......
These stuff also contains about 0,5kg of silver which I was looking for.

Had a walk round a local bootsale today, Brought a few bits home!

I bought eight clamps with around an 8" opening for a quid each!

Also dropped on this hefty Samurai book for a couple of quid, Just looked on Amazon, Cheapest is £231

Also picked up a couple of other bits, A small telescope, Parker pen refills and a watch that is as dead as a dodo!!

Quick look at the internals of my Surfox Cleaner.
Very good quality.
The chemical is quite sticky.

car boot this morning, from left to right - 50p, £2 & £2.50

 

[Jan-DIY]

Impressive thing.
Worth buying when doing lot of SS if you can get them cheap.
Seller buys it for about 2k.

Someone using a sniping tool?

 

[slim_boy_fat]

A sore knee, twisted it when turning. Yesterday actually, not too bad this morning but the 'preservative on the man-cave' must get done. Looks like it's going to need another coat to be right. Slow & steady though.....

Also, the grass desperately needs cutting - think I'll leave that until early evening, it's bound to be dry by then after the heavy dew.

I think so. In hindsight I should of gone to £150 from the start.

It's "no mow May" isn't it to give the bees a chance to play catch up after the wet weather. 3 months behind on the growing season or something. I've just mown a path to the shed & stable.

I dont know if anyone actually uses a tool, I'd never trust one with my details! but theres two good approaches. If you *want* it, simply placing a high enough bid early, will win. Sellers prefer it, gives other bidders something to beat, gets the price up. If your the only bidder, you'll still get it cheap. If theres many bidders it'll likely end higher than the items worth. People enjoy winning..

If your max bid is going to be similar to others, that wont work, as its so easy to decide to bid more. Instead its generally best to place your maximum bid in the last seconds so others dont have time to respond. That is just how ebay works..

Even you place your bid in the last few seconds if someones using a sniping program on that item you'll still get beaten

I ain't much of a tig welder, relatively new to it, have a young lad who is right on it though So ended up with a large credit note situation with our supplier, and spent the lot on a MagicWave .

If I really want something, I'll bid over the odds to get it; so if someone snipes it, well, they will have paid "way over" the odds.

You will never know if its a sniping program but the rules are simple, bid higher or bid first.
The only person with any right to complain about last second/sniping bids is the seller as it keeps the price low.

Zoro! On Friday I was fed up with the backorders, so I cancelled the mask order. Yesterday I get a dispatch email today it arrived It was worth the wait, looks decent, fits well, comfortable. Made in UK - so might not last The only annoyance is its now 5 quid cheaper, still 60 quid was a good price.

With filter on its a bit long-snouted!
Just need to find a good supplier for filters!

Bring on Armageddon!!

 

[slim_boy_fat]

Bugger!!! Drive belt on the mower broke after 2 x strips Now waiting to see if the local ironmongers has a replacement, otherwise it's a run out tomorrow for one.

Going to rest the knee for the rest of the day, methinks.

That's all very well, but you've to take your chance when you can up here atm. It's been so wet lately if you can't get to it when it's dry, it's up to your ankles before you know it.

 

[Onoff]

up to your ankles before you know it.

I've a few areas that need strimming where the mower quite literally won't cut it.

I've been after an Einhell Agillo 36V brush cutter for ages now. I've the matching 36V chainsaw I run from Makita batteries with adapters my lad 3D printed. Sods Law Machine Mart are doing them for £96 inc VAT on clearance but none in my nearest shop, Sidcup. I rang and they said nope, website is wrong! Most miffed. Would have been a £30 saving over Toolstation.
