  1. TV has died, might have to do some modelling instead, well providing I don't spent too long on line.

      Want a new one? I am doing the 03 tonite.

      I'm going to try fixing it first. I've a couple of things to try before ordering a replacement power distribution board. How's the 03 going?

  2. Well nearly 20 minutes after I asked the cold caller from Solar King to find someone who could provide me with the contact details of the people who supplied them with their numbers to call I am still on hold. What a surprise. My conclusion from this is that Solar KIng have no concept of good customer service and were I considering using their services I now would not do so even under duress.

  3. One minute you're up the next you're down.

      I plan on procrastinating later. I was going to be lethargic but I can't be bothered right now.

  5. Top gear USA. What a weak copy of the UK version.

      Blame Top Gear Uk - they licensed and approved the very weak team. I only watched one episode. Mind you I now find the UK team (yes we have it over too) irritating..

      I only watched one episode where they bent a cadillac. That moment was very funny but the rest didn't leave me interested or entertained enough to look out for another episode

       

  6. Scratching your head about gradients and baseboards beats scratching other areas.

      I find it hard to scratch fleas, they just don't stay still long enough.

      bcnPete

      aagh..I see...you mean where Builders often scratch whilst your trying to hold an important conversation?...

  7. Argh, were back, no more time for modelling, just time for procrastination and reading on here :-) Still it's great to be back. Thanks to all for all their hard work and long hours.

      That and finding possible heart transplants for old VW's!

  8. Deep fried mince pies. A dessert to make a scotsman weep.

    1. Debs.

      Debs.

      My local takeaway offers deep-fried mars bars.....surely: "death by chocolard" :-)

      [stereotype] Widnae touch it laddie, has fruit in it. [/stereotype]

  9. Back from a nice walk along the cliff tops. Some nice large waves about but those on the main beach were being blown flat. Now what will the photos turn out like and did I get a decent one of the peregrine?

  10. Trying to mend my neighbours automatic chicken house door opener. Having had the chicken house fall on top of it has made it rather poorly.

      All part of the modern world Ian, catch up :-) They lay eggs, walk, cluck just like a normal chicken. So far though I've not been shown where the batteries go.

      Jamie

      Automatic chicken for the people. Wasn't that a REM album?

    4. IanLister

      Kris, maybe the batteries go where the stuffing goes? Rather you than me in that case!

  11. Hopefully the work I have prepared for tomorrow will have been a waste of time.

  12. Is trying to work out where a short has occurred somewhere over 3 points.... and blow me if I can find it after about 4 hours of hunting. Might be time to start unsoldering connections to narrow it down.

      That was what cause the last one but I can't see one this time and I've been looking with a magnifying glass.

      have you glued the point down ? some glues can be conductive

      Problem solved. No shorts on the track but a tiny piece of wire connecting 2 joints on a point motor frog feed. I recon that took me a good 10 hours to find.

  13. First mince pies of the year have now been made. The home made mincemeat is a little dry, maybe time to add more brandy.

  14. After the rain quite a nice sunset is appearing

  16. Drew the curtains back this morning to see 3 alpacas walking along the horizon.

  17. Had to reverse a mile in the dark last night on single track roads, round hairpin bends with drops and stone walls to contend with, oh the fun.

  18. Was paid to carve pumpkins today.

  19. Well I had thought I was working today, I was wrong about that so a walk in the sunshine up on Dartmoor was a good way to try and clear the head this morning.

    1. devondynosoar118

      devondynosoar118

      Sounds good, I had to work this morning!

  20. Surfing after work is the way to go, but why was I always just inside of the break of the largest waves?????

  21. Note to self. Fingers and soldering irons don't mix and when molten solder fall on leg it hurts.... silly me.

      It's empty Pete. No naughty words were used at any point. Rather surprising that.

  22. 3 Job applications sent in the last 24 hours, lets see if I can get another couple done by the end of play today.

  23. Spent some time watching the America's cup earlier. Rather breezy but led to some great racing and several capsizes.

  24. my car was awarded it's 50m swimming badge today.

      Brinkly

      I didn't realise Volvo's could swim! Is it an optional extra!? ;-)

  25. I know I had some m6 wing nuts, now where did I tidy them up to when I cleaned the study?

    1. richbrummitt

      richbrummitt

      I've no idea. I changed out a bookcase next to the modelling benches the other week and now I can't find anything.
