No I havn't it is landrover /jaguar specific but it does state it will also read / clear fault codes on any OBD 2 compliant vehicle but I never had reason to try it
On the range rover it will diag every module on the car plus you can see live data on fuel and electrical systems when cars running and save data . It will reset any item that would need doing after general maintenance inc the steering angle sensor . So at less than a third of the price of the GAP ID 2 tool it does everything I need .

12 cubic metres of concrete. Crap photo due to weak phone flash.
It's a hard standing area opposite the barn, it was covered in about 40 tonne of road planings but nature was taking over and I could do with something a bit more durable plus it needed levels sorting out so it could be used for parking as the missus runs various permaculture events through the year.
We already have parking for about 7 or 8 cars, but you always get the idiot that parks in the only place that screws up the parking for 4 other people. I have to be diplomatic when I call the person out to move their car, they may have spent money on a course. So my usual enquiry is, "whoever abandoned a car in the middle of the yard, could they move it please?"

Made I larff. I have some of the "D Cell" ones somewhere.
Just for clarification, some of the forces used to substitute the rubber projectile with a D Cell battery, most notoriously during the "Troubles", caused a few deaths too. I find it hilarious how, despite loads of research and the most brilliant minds applied to a problem, couple of squaddies work around the restriction. There are loads of examples of this through history.

I know nothing.
Just remember to make sure the positive end does not point in the wrong direction.
Spar was definitely not the place to buy cheep battery packs.

What is in the box?
Another one..............................
I've just finished repairing an old treadle machine we've had for years, a 1921 vintage Jones Medium CS as supplied to Queen Alexandra (it says on it) and I've been trying it out on some material. It sews quite well but my coordination need a bit of work treadling and steering material at the same time. We now have 3 treadle machines, the Jones, a Bradbury and a Singer.
They worked well

Old pennies fitted well too
About the only defence available at the time to catapulted J hooks & thrown petrol bombs.

J bolts or roofing bolts fired with a catapult a bit like a blunt crossbow bolt, lethal if they hit you in the head.

.. after the mistake on the right, the apprentice who was supposed to cut the circular blank got a hard time ...
But a good catch if the price was ok!

Fasten the catapult to the end of a 6ft plank of wood for extra "oomph". Especially if you have short arms.

Probably, I didn't lay it, a farming friend with a groundwork business did it for me and he hasn't billed me yet. They did a cracking job given they finished in the dark with various machines spot lamps on it. I was too busy coughing my guts up and going for a PCR test that was negative.
I did some preparation the day before, I had to take the top row of blocks off a retaining wall that divided the cobbles from the area to be concreted otherwise it would be cobbles, knackered block then concrete. Now the concrete butts up to the cobbles, much neater. With this cold it was hard work, every time I got up after bendingdown with the stihl saw or chisel I went dizzy and had to take a break.
As it happened, the team were pretty good and would probably have done it for me, but I needed to be sure, it's too late when the mixer arrives.
I was well happy that they dealt with coaxing the mixer driver up the hill and around the steep hairpin. If you get the wrong driver you have to start calling mates with dumpers to help out. This driver new his stuff and got right on site.
