Tyre pressure gauge. I'll test/check it over the next few days.

I don't add any sugar when I make mine as it can become sickly and syrupy. If needed, I add any sugar after a couple of years.

I do the same - add sugar as required when it’s ready to drink.

Over the weekend, well Thursday actually, I acquired a pensioner's motor.
A 2008 VW Fox, with a mighty 1.2L fire-breathing 55bhp under da hood.
Cheap and easy to insure (at a price) but it could have been worse.
The mental thing is, the insco who cover me for the bikes refused to touch me in this snorting beast.
Shower of prats.

Astro Al! Psychic readings?

 

[MattF]

It was the fact the display glows in the dark which sold me on it.

It glows only if you it sees the daylight

I had a near miss with a cup of panel wipe and the mig so now I’ve got a fancy can instead.

I dunno, but if you can measure it, you can sell it.

What the f'ks a confidence meter?

It basically has a needle (digital) that waves up and down and tells you how confident it is in the reading it gives you.
Bit of a gimmick and I haven't used one of these for a while but it does tell you when there's a lot of interference during the test that can give a false result.

Few weeks ago we had to paint our kitchen after a little accident with the sink discharge pipe.
I have few Lego sets on a shelf, we removed them and mom cleaned them up.
On yesterday she asked me to put them back.
Little chat about them, and we agreed how amazing would be to have a little diorama.
So that's her fault.
I've always loved Lego City sets, so nostalgia and compulsive bought few things

An almost exact clone of the original 2008 mechanic workshop, Wich I've always wanted when I was a child but it was a lot expensive.
The only difference is the tow truck.
I don't know if there are any Minifig included

That's on AliExpress, liked the design so I've got it.

This one is one of my favorites set, got it for Christmas in 2010, I've mistakenly bought It used.

Mistakenly because I was going to buy this bundle for the same price.
So now I have 4 tow trucks including the Temù one, the one from my childhood is missing of only one little 1x4 orange tile which I've bought a replacement for...

7741 it has been my first Lego set, got in 2007 for my birthday.
Loved it, played a lot with it, lost most parts unfortunately...
So I found this one for an honest price (half the 2007 price) and got it .
Plan is to seek the missing bits in my childhood one using this one as reference

I remember how bad I've felt while digging out bits here and there from old boxes hoping to find the missing parts but no luck.

Now I have a big problem, I could buy more Lego and knock off sets.
I've never been into trains but...
I'm resisting till Christmas...

My Fluke 115 has something similar but linear, my Megger has that as well

You can always plasma cut bigger spanners when needed if you have a cutter that will vapourise 15 mm or so .

Weld square key steel shoulders to fit the nuts on both sides of the spanner with a bit of fag packet card for clearance

You need more space My wife and youngest son have been collecting for years, this is half of it!
They love it and tell me its worth a fortune.

I could do with the money and it's mushroom picking stew season
