[Onoff]

View attachment 324881My wife is a jewellery student and wanted some oxy-propane gear .

Looks like someone's holding a torch for you!

Damaged one of the lathe tools screws with a hex screw in it rather than a torx.

Then ruined a brand new stainless screw from accu, which I would call high quality.

Believe it or not these from Screwfix have been brilliant and taken some serious abuse. Haven't used any of the tiny ones though. The imperial ones are handy.

Those Magnusson cheapies are like that. They flex quite a bit. They are cheap so not bothered if they snap but fair play they never have

Their screwdrivers are good, though mine are dirty brown and black, the green never lasts long!

I don’t like how the hex keys are packaged. I have a good set which opens out like a book, I find that much handier.

I got a black fleece, my girlfriend found out I never wear the grey one she got for my birthday because I don't want to ruin it so she got me something garage-safe.

Not that bad.
Useless wireless charger for my phone which is not compatible. Gift card for 1h trampoline park which sure end in hospital. Pro: Socks, clothes and a new jacket. Because our dog loves my “shop jacket” it was no longer available to me.
And some nice drawings from my girls.

Today anyway our soup went bad, loudest kids in town, broken lamps and some other sidekicks.
But to calm down I ordered a diesel heater for my garage.

Couple of Jacamo T-shirts and a framed pic of the wife and myself late summer this year out on a ride... I do love my wife for small things like this.

Start of an open mountain road hairpin...come in tight and then wind it open

Because my KTM bone breaker did several test on my body iam not allowed by the first court (kids and wife) to even have a think about it.

Christmas for 9 cancelled as missus tested positive for Covid! Never mind, lateral flow tests then cold and mash tomorrow.

I don't have the dedication for long games unfortunately.

My daughter tells me it has almost cult following among several students she knows. It is a huge game, a massive open world map, that you can explore endlessly and never run out of stuff to do.

Me, I’m just fed up of getting killed off by every baddie I meet.

Know the feeling

Id hit YouTube for a couple of tips and tricks videos. Give you a headstart.

I try and focus on games I can jump into for a few hours and not lose track of where I am when I get time to play again in a few weeks
