I wanted to go with a standard transmission, and have been searching for the last few weeks for a bike in mint condition.
Slow down Matt, I got back late last night and needed to get some beauty sleep first.
Best I can do for today as its raining cats and dogs in my neck of the woods, are a screen shot of the add, and one of the bike warmly still tucked away in the comfort of my van; here you go.......

I acquired a headphone amp/DAC, Fiio Q3:
Prime Day deal, it was £110, down from £140, but I think I'm going to return it. I've got Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro headphones, supposedly they need an amp to drive them, but I can hear absolutely no difference between the headphone port on my laptop and the amp, other than they'll go louder with the amp (But full volume on the laptop is too loud anyway). The way reviewers go on about how amazing headphone amps are, you'd think they inject crack into your ears or something. I've been swapping back and fourth between the amp and my laptop's headphone port as I typed this, I keep forgetting which one I'm using, they sound identical.
The main reason I wanted one is my phone doesn't have a headphone socket, it comes with a strap thing to stick it to the back of a phone, but it makes such a bulky lump (Made from grippy silicone that needs wrestling into a pocket) I don't want to carry it anywhere. Plus, my headphones are open backed so wearing them in public would be annoying for myself and anyone around me, I'm not really sure where I thought I was going to wear them other than my house (Where I'd just use my laptop...).
So ultimately a bit pointless. Lucky Amazon returns are so easy.

Picked these up - they seem to be old stock. I think the "new" versions has been out over ten years, so probably "very old" stock.
Edge of the cap is a little sharp and flimsy, and I can see why they changed the design on the new version - but overall not too bad, and a good price for a handle, bit holder and selection of decent bits.
Going to chuck a couple in my drill boxes so I can interchange them with my longer bit extensions if I need a handle.
No, they aren't all for me!

These, Mick.
It was nice to meet Ed. He reminded me very much of @Barking Mat

A few things came my way today.
A army tin, a Zippo and a leather holder, a syringe, a hammer head, with jammed marker pens. Plus another hammer.
Pongo and Bootneck make up.
Needs some TLC.
Should only need a good clean and tidy.
It needs flint, wick and a clean.
Resin, varnish and some dye, for a MIS project.

That's one hell of a career path change.
New mitre chop saw, I knew it was going to be big, mug for scale, screams like a banshee but no worse than my old chop - just a lot bigger & power.
Refound these in a box looking for ext cabling for saw, forgot I had them, make night like day in green, lot of IR power & decent magnification

I can’t recall the timing, but he did a bit of industrial rope access too which I think led to this.

Not today but Wednesday after the Surf / emulsion paint interface!
It's a lot bigger than I thought it would be!
Mug and cat for scale.
The guy threw in a bag of grit and it's got a foot pedal, should do for blasting the Surf's trailing arms etc.
