  • The mystery of why the heatwave ended has been solved. Mum went around watering the garden plants. It's a change from mowing the lawn, that normally summons rain.
    Decided to use a picture of my lathe as my profile banner to be a little different.

    Nice!
    I went all copycat and did it too ;)

    Full image for those interested. Currently fitted with a rare 125mm diameter 4 jaw self centring chuck. In the tailstock is something I find invaluable; an extension sleeve. This means I don't need to eject the sleeve every time I want to change the drill bit. This is an imperial machine with dual dials so I can switch between metric and imperial measurements.

    You aren't the only one that remembers Bananaman. I remember the titles but nothing of any of the episodes. Do you remember The Trapdoor?

    Remember Danger Mouse and Duckula. Skeletons... I remember it but never watched it. How about SuperGran?
    New hard drives have arrived and the laptop's drive is being cloned to the new one.

    Managed to move the users folder with an older W10 install file; the code used is incompatible with the newest version. Laptop upgrade working well, sub 40 seconds to fully loaded desktop. Not bad at all.

    SSD are great. I'd upgrade to SSD for main drive. Boot time and just overall faster processing. They're not that expensive either.

    I have SSD's in all my W10 PC's. I elected for a mechanical drive for the laptop because it doesn't need an SSD. I hardly ever use it and most of the time it's on it's just doing updates.
    Hi maycontainthunder.
    Are you receiving notifications for the games?
    For some reason, I am not, so, thought I'd inquire.
    Volvo has been taken away to be checked over to see how much welding it really needs. The verdict will be in late this afternoon. I'm anticipating it needing significantly more than the MOT failure list.

    I feel your pain. I am waiting to be left penniless with my car repair job today. That's another thing that causes me anxiety, car crapola, especially with a car that was maintained as a rental. And it's really a truck like car with very little issues.

    This car gave us twenty eight years reliable service. It's due a birthday.

    Verdict is in... about half what I thought it might cost.
    I had forgotten how much of a pain IDE was to set up. Shall stick to SATA stuff in future. These are PC HDD interfaces for those wondering.
    Easy way of getting an English Bull Terrier to move quickly: throw treats. Some may look at you disgustedly and make you fetch the treat!

    Easy way of getting a cat to move quickly; shoot it with a water gun. Warning: Some may look at you disgustedly, but from a far and safe distance.

    A similar game to the treat is a glass is played with Dog V4 (and the others) Ball under an upturned washing basket. He growls, barks and paws at up while also chasing it around the floor. Sometimes he gets it right away sometimes he doesn't. Funny to watch.

    I've only ever had a pet cat. No dogs. But from what I've seen, cats are...to put it nicely....a little slow.

    I mean you can't train a cat to be a helper like those blind dogs. Or to sniff drugs. It can't be done. They are not exploitable. Useless but cute.

    Cats aren't keen on me for some reason. The advantage with a dog is they don't bring you live rodents as 'presents'!
    You guys won't believe this but I caught a RAT in the house this morning. I don't mean with a trap, physically caught it by the tail!
    If life is a computer game HOW DO I FIND THE CHEAT CODES????? Can anyone give tech support on this???? XD

    I'm on hardmode with healthbar depleted. Okay that's being dramatic, but sometimes it feels like that.

    I do like the metaphor though. Such Nice graphics.

    Cheatcodes are what land you in prison. Use at your own risk.

    Yeah I think cheatcodes are illegal.
    maycontainthunder

    I don't think all cheat codes are illegal. I just need to find the one that allows me to help set others free.
    Today's project is trying to wake up the old Volvo. It's getting picked up later in the week to have the nasty rust problems dealt with.

    The options were sneezing or farting. ;)

    I'll have to do it with a stirrup pump, too much hassle getting an air line to where it is.

    So that sounds like exercise. Hopefully there's no leak...

    I'm trying to imagine how you'd get a sneeze or a fart into a tyre. Maybe with a tube? And how much pressure could you generate that way? Probably not full inflation actually. :)

    I have to get me hence now, as my donkeys are making woeful noises to remind me it's their dinner time...back later. Have fun! :)
    Sweet! Birds are awesome!

    Been there, worn that. The walk home was the worst. Nothing worse than a 5 year old pointing at you and saying, "Bird pooped on his head." and the mother trying not to laugh.

    In my case it was at the nastiest workshop clearance ever. The guy smoked extremely heavily and everything was stained brown and reeking. The pigeon poo smelt way better than that shed did!
