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

In 1991 I went out with a lovely girl for awhile who said she was an Aztec Princess. I was eventually sacrificed for another, so I guess she was telling the truth, lol.

Aha; that explains the tendency to cut out the heart and stamp on it, exhibited by some.
Must be some kind of ancestral voodoo.

Thankfully, at least there was no cut into my wallet.

A lucky escape there.

Motorcycle pistons? Quite a short skirt on them.

Getting there......

An MG Electric lamp from a big old Colchester lathe. I’ve been looking for a lamp to go on my grinder for a while, this seems ideal. It’ll need a fair bit of work but you can’t beat these old lamps for durability

My bike got stolen Monday, it was the nicest and most expensive bike I've ever owned so naturally I was devastated. To cheer myself up I dropped a good chunk of student loan on a better one. (Plus nine hours on trains to collect it!) This is never getting left unlocked in the garden, I might even get a cheap one to roll back and fourth to uni on so this one is always indoors or being ridden.


Never had a carbon frame, rear suspension, dropper post, remote lockout or tubeless tires before. Just look how cool that wheelset is! I can't wait to get home and ride it.

front chain ring looks very small do you do down hill ?

I think its 30t, I might swap it for something slightly bigger but that's pretty common for 1x (no front mech) setups on MTBs. I think my road bike is 52 or 54t so I agree, it looks minuscule.

It’s pretty common on modern MTB’s especially 27.5” & 29” wheeled bikes.

My 29” Giant has a 28 tooth front sprocket.

Arrived yesterday morning, unfortunately before she left for work so I didn't manage to sneak it in!

Plan is to make a vertical mount for it.

Only looks small as it's only the granny ring fitted. No drailier on the front

Note to self.
When dealing with certain people don't joke.

I did a local vending machine company a favour. Not a big one. but using redundant equipment I helped them reduce their insurance bill.
As a thank you the owner said; "What do you want Mr.TYA?
I said, as a joke; "How about a coffee vending machine for MIS? We buy the stuff from you and we raise funds with our members and guest using it."

He gave me this.



Only the coffee and tea side work. But is plumbed in to his spare test line and today it was used for the first time.
I wonder what would happen if I said the hand of his daughter in marriage?

The correct 2 pin plug, with diode,(no longer fitted) for the AA approved parking lamp.
Small, but it sets the part off nicely.



Cute littler soft face mallet, looks home made.
It has a nice balance.



Lower drive bearing assembly for a "StartRite" band saw.
Cheaper than buying new bearings and seals for it.

Mrs TYA might have something to say about that

Deal.

I think I’d want to have a look at her first, you might get landed with a 2 bag one

Back on track. I acquired this yesterday. Been labelling EVRYTHING up today.
