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

[Tangledfeet]

Indeed .

Just parked for the night at Pease Pottage services on the M23 down near Crawley, went in to pay and asked the bright young thing my usual question: "Eyup love, any discount for a good looking Yorkshireman??" She looked round before telling me that her Dad's a Yorkshireman and he always embarrasses her by asking for discount wherever they go, and he's a great one for giving folk the "Yorkshire Warcry".

Hearing the legendary "How much??? " always gives me a lovely warm feeling in my wallet

Well..?

Did she give you one..?

Well..?

Did she give you one..?

No, but the mere thought of it has made a happy man feel very old .

LOL - I actually meant discount... but, yeah, I can empathise!

2 pairs of dead sexy LED and USB rechargeable cycle lights that are destined to be "Oh, b****r, it's too dark to park here overnight but if I leave the side lights on all night the batteries will be flat in the morning, best deploy the clamp-on marker lamps...", and a lovely little tippy tappy 4oz ball pein hammer that one of the Scania monkeys left on the bottom step of the truck after servicing.

I would be inclined to save hammer and find out the owner next time your in there , might be well worth your while next time something on the wagon needs fixing..

Not the way they're doing it.

Shouldn’t a Hetty be involved. I know these are politically correct times, but didn’t think it applied to cleaners!

I was taking my mother up the motorway years ago,

Sounded like a euphemism at first.........sorry

Not today but this week I received my KSGER T12 Soldering Station. So far I'm very impressed with all of the features and overall performance. Not so happy with the multicore solder I received from China. In over 40 years of soldering I have never experienced anything as poor as this rubbish. Barely melts at all even with flux added and solidifies a dirty grey colour with no fusion to the base metal, horrible. Must be somewhere I can get decent solder at a reasonable price, obviously not China.

 

[DAPPH]

I've not had a look for a new price although I suspect these decent old ones have been replaced with some modern paper thin versions so a fair price comparison would be difficult to find I suspected they wouldn't have been cheap new. It's surprising what you can get by just asking the question.

Indeed

Those two Henrys will be fighting for her attention, like stag beetles you see in those natural history programmes

 

[500e]

She will lie and just switch off

I’ll be splitting them up at the weekend, she can live in the wash house and the boys will be split between the kennels and workshop.

Ive enough kids running around the place as it is, it’s like we opened a bloody crèche

Today I acquired a new SD card for my camera, so now I can post pictures again. Also, today arrived a new old stock 55* J & S threading tool. I acquired one of these for cutting 60* Iperial threads many years ago and they work a treat, simply grind the top face if sharpening is needed. And few days ago, I acquired a long sought after fine quality micrometer stand at a reasonable price. It's great to have a third hand while measuring; also its good for holding a magnifying glass.
