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

[Kayos]

An Orange Pi One

Basically a clone (rip off) if a Raspberry Pi One but with a few differences

Has a built in ethernet port but no display output, means I can use it as is without any adapter cables, can even use power over ethernet so one cable and its plugged into my router

 

[Anguz]

what you gonna do with it?

It's going to be an ad blocker, I'm following a guide I found online

 

[optima21]

yesterday a matchbox lorry turned up in the post. so I'm thinking it would be rude not to convert it to radio control. (showing a few more bits that have been bought for the build. the truck is approx 10cm long.

I can see it being a build thread some time in the future (there will be some machining but no welding)

...an empty house for the next 2 weeks!!

OH has just gone to her mate’s house near Durham for an early morning flight tomorrow morning to India, via Heathrow. Currently taking bets on how long before every item of cutlery is in the sink, and trying to get in touch with naked party freaks.com .

 

[DAPPH]

I went to a naked party freaks do … they were indeed .. it was all blokes .

Realising my error I left quicker than a strike of lightning with my honour intact.

I was kind enough to visit @Chillitt today.
Top Man.

He was kind enough to allow me to access his shed and remove items.

This is as they came out of the car, so in no order.

A Old Rawplug box, with not Raw plugs.


Paraffin powered items.

A Small engine.



Turns over, needs a plug. Looks good.

A water pump.



Needs lots of love and attention.

Oh, a motor for the above pump.




A Vice, no more needs to be said.





a Box of fun.




This is going to be used to help MIS members.

I am grateful that it will be used to help others. All from the kindness of others.

Not keen on the flat bits with the arguer at the tip.
Hard on drills as they self feed very quixkly. and don't give you much chance to steer the bit.

They make good greenhouse heaters to keep the frost at bay .

They were on offer and i seem to hit nails and screws a lot, but yes they do grab fast and take over.
