Very pleased with this, as well as being an amazingly expensive and posey thing for free, its also almost exactly the position the medical types have been telling me to sit in. Sadly I have to make some legs for it but at least that means I will have the welder out for the 2nd time this year...

A chunky 1 kg lock,from the Far EastView attachment 293603
No offence mate but i wouldn't secure anything too valuable with a Chinese dimple lock. Good visual deterrent but shockingly easy to jiggle open in some cases.

Pretty sure that's the idea of them. Dead easy to open then it drops on your foot...
Due to upsetting my knee yesterday while dashing to the ice-cream van, had to phone-in today. Visited minor injuries who confirmed a sprain, got to visit Langs in grays picked up some decent drill bits and m8 taps.
Waiting for ebay delivery of helicoil set and welding trolley from the same seller.
Frustrating to not be at work and not really be able to do much either. Not to mention general discomfort while hobbling about.
My sympathy to anyone with bad knees, i must have been quite lucky up to now.

Not me per se, but the Honda acquired a lovely new front Michelin Road 5. Bought it last September but wanted to get max miles from the previous one - all 6999 of them 
If I'd realised before I changed it, I'd have gone round the block a couple of times to round it up 
First tyre I've ever fitted that didn't need any balance weights.
Out with the lads tomorrow to leave some of it on the roads of Yorkshire - be keeping an eye out for the Scamera vans as they love 'em over there

The"returns" brush cutter turned up. It appears to have seen light use but oddly comes complete with the blade, strimmer head and box spanner, something I didn't expect from reading the ad...I knew it came without batteries and "strap", the blade was supposedly also missing as was the strimmer head...
Of course I've yet to power it up and see what happens...if anything.
The one thing that is missing as aforementioned is the body harness/strap to support it as you use it (surprisingly heavy). Pretty certain I can do something with a spare, out of date full body harness here, some D shackles and karabiners etc. God forbid I have to download a read a manual for it or watch a YouTube video!!!
Just waiting for the Makita batteries to charge up.
The 3D printed, Makita to Einhell adapters we made for use in the 36V chainsaw (bargain from Amazon.de pre Brexit) appear to fit perfectly:
Let's hope I haven't wasted £45!

Any idea what's inside? I assume the dials set the partial pressures of each gas but there must be more to it than a pair of regulators. Some kind of mass-flow meter perhaps? I'd love a picture if the case is openable.

Few more bits arrived at my door today.
Most will end at MIS. Some will stay with me.
A container of 3" Butt hinges.
Odd selection of hand tools.
Complete tin of drill, plashing/jewellers hammer and Egg beater drill.
Oh, another one.
I think I will have plans for this.
