But what happened to the mouse?There was a faint smell of bin juice cross dead mouse as you came into our kitchen
Next SWMBO tells me the dishwasher seems to have packed up.
The issue was twofold. The bubble matrix had gone and developed it's 5 yearly blockage.
That and one of the bastard cats had brought in then lost a mouse. Not only that but it was surviving quite happily by smuggling dried cat food into the base of the dishwasher. Couple that with a bit of a leak and well, things got smelly!
Cue a deep clean of the bubble matrix. Check and reseal all the O ring joints with a smear of Jet Blue Plus.
Running a test clean,

The one on our old washer/drier used to condense the moisture.But what does it do?
Its where the Minotaur lives.
You need some Greek called Theseus to sort it out.
But what happened to the mouse?
gone to breed with all the others I guess. I think with our two cats it's a catch kill/lose and if necessary repeat thing. Many years ago I rolled my car. A fox leapt off the bank across the bonnet and all I could think was "person in hi-viz, swerve".
There's an EverBuild hard plastic glue which I have found to be very good for abs / polycarbonate etc.After yesterday's little "fail" with the PSU, I did some plastic "welding", with super glue and sodium bicarbonate. Not pretty, but it's strong.View attachment 532398View attachment 532399
And I thought that I'd finish my little driver.

My little win for today was fixing the Christmas tree lights power supply, the input resistor had broken down (into the meg range) it should have been 10 ohm, so I replaced it from my stock of resistors and now wifey has her favorite Christmas tree lights working again.![]()

Does it just do the cab or can you direct it into the back as well?all done. nearly. got to connect the main power feed and charge it. but thats done enough for now.

Still worth having come the summer!just the cab.
Those 999 have got better looking as they’ve got older. Coming after the 916 they had a bit of a panning in the press but I think they don’t look half bad nowadays (I will admit I even liked them when they were current)Had a Ducati 999r in for recomissioning, only 200 made apparently!.
All hand made carbon bodywork.
Was a bit of a chew, been sat for 10 years. New fuel pump and regulator. Injectors ultrasonic cleaned and then i to the "custom" flow bench lol.
New belts and service.
Luckily I had my assistant on hand, she was the ECU while we were testing the Injectors.
Stunning looking bike, will probably end up in someone's kitchen after all that work unfortunately..
