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

[slim_boy_fat]

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.

You need one of these CLICKY

That one should be easy to get going, but it was the first in a Google search - they come up occasionally.

Sign of the times,had a delivery of argoshield on a bank holiday!
Driver states they’re struggling fulfilling orders.

A metric Butt Tonne of plain flour. This is what happens when when you try to order something during a busy day doing tech support:

Quite a surprise when the delivery bloke struggled up the drive with that. Amazing the difference a decimal point one place to the right makes!

No tea cup for scale. Instead I'll use the size of bag I was aiming for at the time of purchase!

Gonna have to major in pies!

And now these,courier is busy.for the van and shop.

 

[MCKDAVID]

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.

what size is it, might have one in stock here....

take it easy on the knee, know that one too well..

Most kind , but after phoning round the local[ish] possible suppliers early this a.m., I took myself off to Inverness and got one there at the last place I tried.

I thought I'd collect my alloys which were in for refurbishing but weren't ready for me to pick up [as promised] at my last clinic day, and........they're still not ready! It's no biggie, but I'm beginning to think something's happened to them.

Zero pointes for The Wheel Specialist, although I've been very happy with their service in the past.

Well, presumably you stopped trying after getting one......

Behave yersel! I meant the last place on a mental list of possibilities, otherwise it'd be throw myself on the mercies of the interweb which, what with Bank holiday and the fact I'm up near the moon, could have seen me shopping for scythes.....

Went and bought a canteen of epns cutlery today fot £20!!
There was a single egg spoon missing, Looked like it had never been used and had tarnished, It took me just over two hours to polish the lot and then wash them to get rid of any residual polish!

It should have been a fifty piece set but is now forty nine!!

I bought a couple of sets of those ring spanners. One to butcher and one to keep in truck box. The seem ok. As long as they’ve passed TuV they’ll be fine.

That's almost theft at that price! Excellent score. Pentax has been a dependable brand for a long time. I have an old pocket-size Pentax binocular that I've had for maybe 25 years. Still sharp as a tack.

 

[Arc Tourist]

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


John

Telescope ! Photo please.

 

[redlig]

Which one's that?

The one BEHIND the other 4.
