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

[Onoff]

If you went through a puddle, you would get wet knees.

I'd deliberately drive through puddles. It'd literally blast up through the passenger footwell. "Oh dear, we'd best get you home and out of that wet skirt..."

My first car. Yes I've still got it. More the field it's sat in now than car.

Tonight I have the sort of wind that only comes from eating too much home made biltong. Got a bladder, prostate and kidney scan tomorrow. Didn't think that one through...

 

[Farside]

Before I had a welder, and as an impovrished student, I may have used gutter sealant on the odd hole . . .

<cough>
It has been known for an impov student to glue on a layer of Formica over a chassis hole with Isopon and the excess squidged out the side was weldly-looking after the whole repair was underbody schutzed.
Not me. I was gobsmacked at the ingenuity and sheer foolishness.

All the best for tomorrow. Just don't pass wind mid scan you never know what they might diagnose.

Acquired over the last few weeks.

Some old Roland modules system 50 and 100 clones.

 

[Tupers]

Added a couple of new old stock Whitehouse tin smith’s hammers to the collection. They’re both the same head so one will stay flat and the other will get a radiused grind.

Weird how I watched "I dream of wires" on Sky Arts the other week, and all of a sudden various places have stuff about old synthesisers. I expect that kind of thing from Facebook, but not on forums. Interesting documentary, if you haven't seen it. Or even if you have.

I may have seen it. Il have a rewatch if I have. If not. Thanks for the heads up. My 10yo had a go and managed to patch it up from empty. Had to prompt him to think Laterally but he's got it sussed now.
Il get him patching it with my other gear next.

Home ed so I suppose I can call it music and tech lessons.

But have dressed in one.

What you get up to in your own time is entirely your affair, doesn't mean you're a bad person.

Not guilty, M'Lud - never needed the occasion.

Never worn a kilt?

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

I own this, untill Saturday.

Winning bid?
£50:27p

 

[Arc Tourist]

Never realized before that aardvark's had such a quick wit. Hope to meet this one some day for a bit of face to snout banter.

No, never, - I wouldn't have the figure for one, I'm too 'pencil thin'.

... today I acquired the right to a free 4Ah CAS Metabo battery ....

... and actually undeserved, if you like:

On 08.09.2022 I bought the straight grinder I presented HERE (what a beast!) ...

... which I bought without a battery to save money ....

.... today I find out that Metabo is running a promotion from 01.09.2022 to 31.12.2022, where you get a 2 or 4Ah battery for free if you register the tool within a certain period - in addition there is a warranty extension for tool and battery.

My registration is confirmed, I am waiting for the battery.


I don't know exactly which promotion is running in the UK and Ireland at the moment, just have a look HERE if anyone is interested.

I did, once upon a time . They all said I looked like Bonny Prince Charlie or was it a right Charlie.
