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

If it's shaped like a motorbike then yes.

Over winter loads of garden furniture with old mbike covers already, works a treat with elastic cord, as long as sharp bits on mixer don't tear through should get a few years out of them at least

 

[Onoff]

I must admit I tend to reuse the jumbo bags that sand and ballast come in, to cover mixers, barbecues etc.

Especially if you fit wing mirrors.

Same as that, trouble is they aren't water proof

 

[dobbslc]

I've got a few things to cover that those cheap covers might work on.

Yesterday I finally upgraded my old shaty no brand air line couplers with some PCL gear, WOW what a difference!
To be able to connect and disconnect an air tool without a fight is a pleasure now
I got a new flexy hose for the spray gun too.

 

[Cheesie]

First lobster a little small and a nice rare blue, so spared the pot

Might explain why my cement mixer is so rotten...

 

[Rannsachair]

A gift of BSW and BSF taps and dies from @Tangledfeet

And a new pair of Lucas pickups for a K2F magneto.

6 VIP tickets for the Liverpool beer festival at St George's Hall at the end of September. My turn to organise, normally we get the normal tickets but decided to get a guaranteed seat this year

Fantastic venue and over 100 beers and decent food.

Burp!
I hope you have a hotel booked

We usually go home on the train after visiting a couple of Liverpool institutions such as the Dispensery and end up dieing for a wee most of the journey home, but trains are getting better, toilets that sometimes work

But, this year we are planning on staying over, maybe the Adelphi. Probably a bit faded compared to it's hay days but beauty is in the eyes of the beer holder and we will have had plenty!

Following on from my "Garmin" thread, this appeared in the post today, thanks to a very generous forum member:



I sourced a couple maps for it and the sensitivity of this thing is just amazing. I am hoping it will keep me out of trouble over the winter. I was a bit sceptical but I am a full convert now.

That was one of the hotels the company would book us into if we were working in Liverpool, can't remember what it was like as it must be 30 years ago

Try talky toaster maps, the free ones

A functional sink in the dark room - now I don't have to go downstairs to the workshop to wash my hands / get a drink of water.

Daft question, if it’s a dark room, what is the reason for it being white ?

Cheap and it was sprayed so easier all one colour.

It's a dark room for developing circuit boards (like old fashioned photos just nastier chemicals). There's four bulbs, two for white normal bulbs and two provisioned for red bulbs because it's UV that develops the photo resist on the circuit boards.

Doesn't need to be dark, just no UV / blue light.

Jeepers that has taken me back about 60 years squeegeeing the gloop through a screen with a rubber wiper thing and then etching it off . I didn't realise that was still carried out but I guess it's all digitally controlled now.
Just realised it was all digital then ..............we used our fingers!
