Got a pair of "Altrider" brand highway pegs in the post today, another present for my bike. 
Machined aluminium pegs with steel clamps. These are very nicely made and I'm pleased with the quality, only I notice that there is a little wiggle room when the ball detents engage in the upright stowed position. I think this could contribute to some rattling, so I'm going to surface grind a couple of washers to fit which will take up the slack.

Many things.
the free food, I did not take images off. Bit of bad taste to take pictures of it in a restaurant.
Tax free Lamp oil.
Ordered Wednesday, arrived today.
A wee drop of meths.
A few batteries.
The price shown is not the price paid.
Last of things.
For now.

The pliers are MOD issue, 1973.
The zippo copy needs a bit of TLC
The base fuse still smells of cordite.

But this was the best items given to me today.
A Lil Human was sad the other day.
She noticed the rubber ducks were missing, after I fixed the bath room.
So she got me these.

Why is it being tax-free significant?

And an excellent color match to the drill press.

Yes, rather fortunate I thought. Looks a big old Taiwanese lump, probably 1990s which is getting on for 30 years old now!

Continuing on with my "I am not going to be able to do this much longer" thinking this arrived today, it is the third to have been delivered, bloody nightmare, had the wrong one delivered twice and I am pleased I stuck to my guns and stayed with 12volts as the thought of yet another battery charger and batteries fills me with dread.
With a bit of luck I will never need to hand hacksaw anything ever again. I know it won't be able to do absolutely everything, but it will be close:
Lovely and smooth and the blade went on without a struggle. Now all I need to do is decide whether or not I am keeping the case, or slinging it and if I am keeping it, where to store it? Once in a while I have a purge on boxes/cases and some I have never used since the day I acquired the tool and that can be a couple years so a purge once in a while can be good.
