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

[Arc Tourist]

Not a good solution when a nest is in the loft though.

Chlorine bleach in water, delivered with a kid's super soaker squirt gun, provides good incentive for wasps or other buzzing insects to vacate the area.

I've treated myself to some Facon feeler gauges as I want to check the valve clearances on the Surf

 

[MetalMonkey]

Picked up a few Milwaukee items on sale - didn't really need the recip saw handle, but I was getting one for a friend, so thought I'd pick one up myself.

I was really after the updated demolition screwdriver, seems a very nice bit of kit and unlike the previous version the steel shaft seems to be conductive all the way through the to striking cap.
Time will tell how it holds up to a bashing.

 

[Blobber]

From a land far far away, well cheb actually, a nice brutish nibbler for roughing out thick sheet

and a toaster

All delivered by Hemes/Evri and to be fair its all in one peice and here!

 

[Richiew]

That nibbler looks a lot bigger than it did in the sales photo.

I didn’t test myself but I came back from Orkney a couple of weeks ago and felt lousy - slept all over the house for a few days and had really upset stomach, still not right now! I feel constantly bloated, and occasionally a bit nauseous. Guy I was working with had the same but few days behind me.

Apparently they were the symptoms of a strain that’s been going round

It was only when I phoned in sick this morning, my boss said to check yourself for covid, was fine at work yesterday 'til 10.30 am, then it all went downhill, head full of cotton wool / sinuses, hot / cold, aching, forced myself to eat lunch, felt rubbish since, coughing.

On cough medecine, paracetamol, ibuprofen and grog, in and out of bed all day, no fun.

My doctor seems to not answer the phone today ?

Hey ho, no fun.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

RATS Pack due soon.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

I found this un used 16mm film.
The rub still stinks.

Managed to get a 30% of Microsoft 365.

Still managing with Word 97 here (though needed to use an old DLL for Windows 10). Just say no to software as a service

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

Plank Steam engine dynamo.

A thing.

USSR gun cleaning brushes. Plus one NATO.

I did empty a lot on these.

A tin that rattles.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

I took the rattle out.

 

[Anguz]

Garden gun cartridges... not used those for a while... they used to be dearer than 12 guage

 

[Gragson]

First ventures in knurling on mini lathe...
