I also acquired a third dog this evening, it's his ninth birthday today, Rover, part of our dog family, which went to our ex neighbour, who's 82, and has totally lost the plot, fallen over and been hospitalised sadly.
Since he became aggressive with my wife we broke off contact with him, but there was a long standing agreement, if ever he was unable to look after the dog we'd take care of it, so we stand by that, the fat, spoilt, bastard dog who has always slept on its owners bed is in for some suprises, and a diet, hope it doesn't whinge all night, like last time, ended up locking it in the bathroom, it destroyed the bathroom door. Not loving this.

Is that food or water ? They love cat/dog food.

Same type of cheap cardboard door, still not got round to replacing it, yeah, very similar situation, stupid animal even cut its paws.
But we couldn't put up with its all night whinging, so stuck it in a bathroom the other end of the house.
Hoping to sleep better tonight ?

Internet to slow to post a photo.
Bear with me...
I've had many, many hogs over the last few years, but never seen one this shape. Congenital spine malformations ? Prior trauma ? Doubt a RTA ? Dunno, I put it outside after an hour or so, and it's gone, dunno, wasn't right.

Should be ball shaped, no ridges.
Our Malinous did similar to our kitchen door so I glued a 4mm sheet hpl on.
She now seems to realize her attempts are futile.

I used to do that when I visited the states on business always looked for the surplus stores
You're not trying hard enough - 50ft retracting hosereel from a Super Walmart that was closing down, M12 wheelnuts, air die-grinder, various car parts in one suitcase 20 yrs ago - suitcase did it's job - destroyed protecting the goods - Manchester airport gave me a new one that I still use on shorter trips.
Portable bandsaw one trip. Trolley jack another. Battery angle grinder (a few months before Aldi started flogging those very well priced ones!) - batteries in hand luggage, in sealed packaging - as long as you stay under the limit for your airline, all good.
I have more than one item that I thought "that's a good idea" from wandering around Sears Hardware . . . and 25 yrs later, still not used . . .
Brought many items back, some for work - the magnetic dosing pump a security agent asked about not long after 9/11 was a let down in security - she just took my word for it and chucked it on through. But due to carrying tools and parts around for work a lot, I know where a lot of the additional security areas are - some agents ask you to go through, some don't - some require you to open toolboxes, some don't. Makes you wonder just how good security really is sometimes. I always stick cable ties through zips and latches - leave a large note inside, with more cable ties, starting who I am, who I work for, thanks for checking, please use these to re-secure - surprising how often they do.
I used to get randomly selected for a random additional check in a random manner randomly . . . every trip to the USA . . . until I mentioned it maybe 20 yrs ago to the bloke randomly stopping me . . . made it down the jetway unimpeded every time since

That suggests made in India or Pakistan, which means not made to any tolerance know to man.

Two more glass lens jobs. Significantly more complex than the last one. But hey, how hard can it be to make them? 
No doubt time will tell, but I’m pretty unfazed….

I have no idea either, but that won’t stop me…
I made some simple ones awhile back. I did post photos up on here. These are a lot more involved
These were the last ones
Only just seeing this post today!
The chap selling said the stuff he got in looked like ones never used (I hope that's the case then!).
Funnily enough, I'm just getting over an unpleasant bout of "something flu-ish" that saw me with a tight chest, tonsillitis, aches, pains, headaches & fatigue that's lasted over a fortnight & saw me off work for a week. However daughter had it before me, & "there's a lot of it about" so I probably got the lurgy the old-fashioned way.
Very useful, handy boxes though. One swallows up my Track Saw with plenty of spare space for clamps & a few other bits, while another takes a welding mask, gloves etc easily to keep the.. away from dust etc.
Looks like the same one I have. I've only used it a few times & I think it takes a bit of practice to get the hang of it & cut well, but it's easy to hook up and use, & the pilot arc I reckon makes it easier for a newbie.
