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

[roblane65]

Another Certina DS

This will replace the other one I have the reason being it's full Ti in all honesty I've never worn the blk gilt on SS one and will be moving it on
Also a little repair kit for the snapped off terrain switch in the Range rover .



neither the Missus or No 1 son will own up to who was the culprit I just found the top of the switch in the cup holder when I last used and .............. also had to use the spare key as they didn't seem to know where the ignition key was and still not found as to date

'Allo John, got a Certina?

Got these planters from Poundland. Going to pop the saplings in them.

Seems that I have a 240 grit bobble-hone awaiting me, which goes up to 89 mm bore diameters.
Which is handy to have.
Came all the way from Illinois, but still a chunk cheaper than buying the same thing here......

That bugs the hell out of me, put the key back where you found it in its usual place when finished

Had to buy a new strimmer...I loaned out the old one and it got broken . I'm hoping I can fix it but decided to just get a new one.

Only reason I bought DeWalt is I have the flex batteries already...the heads on these are utterly hopeless I find, but luckily the stihl heads fit so I've ordered a new stihl head.

You know the moral of that story. Tell 'em to f' off in future.

My neighbour using a two stroke strimmer. Brmm, brmm, brmm. Just hold the throttle in one place, no, too easy. Constantly blipping the throttle.

I'm usually the person who fixes the allotment strimmers...usually they strim cord/netting and it gets tangled in the spindle. If it's caught in time then usually it's fixable...but if they carry on using it then it'll try to tear the head off unfortunately.

Would be interesting to know how it fairs. I have a Makita which is very very good but underpowered on waist height bramble, but it does the job with enough batteries.

The Makita four leaf 2.4mm cord is very, very good, not yet had it snap and wears very slow, which is nice as I bought a 250m roll of it!
The Makita bump head is also very good.

I did not realise that level of idiocy was possible!?

Picked this up today

The cheapest grinder in spain I bought a while back will be going in the bin.
also finally put some wheels on the grinder I acquired some years back.
