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

[DAPPH]

Today after talking to a guy with 18 yrs computer & gaming experience I've been shopping & acquired a new USB wired in gaming keyboard & gaming mouse & have things set up in the shop ( PC World ) to over come my atrial fibrillation & tremors due to nerve damage in my fingertips .

It got so bad I've been opening dozens of pages without knowing it ... killing any chance of using my PC and a monitor on a different website. Now if I wobble hit on a key if it indicates more than one key stroke it will only make one , Sticky keys have now been set for five strokes on the same key before sticky carries on with the key still depressed.
The mouse was also making intermittent contact when the left mouse was pressed .
New keyboard & mouse is ADX illuminated range ..... They seem strange at first , though the under the key lighting is great .... at least the paint wont get worn off by my finger nails any more unlike nearly all my previous key boards .

Watch out for signs of an analeptic fit .. That was the diagnosis for me 12 years ago after taking them for three days . They & immodium are apparently well know triggers as that was the first question they asked me & my wife once they knew I'd had the squits for 3 days

Thanks @DAPPH - I've only bought enough to last today and tomorrow and I'm feeling better already so, fingers crossed, I'm over the worst.

I'm also getting my appetite back and, having been scared to even try doing so, I've had not one but TWO stand-up pees today!

Now that the Imodium has, even after just one days' worth, done it's stuff and I'm rapidly escalating the Bristol Stool charts I'm able to actually Make Stuff.

Today we have a pellet catcher, TIG welded together from 3mm sheet steel (precision cut with slitting disc) and square section.

For 'pro' tips on manual application of Hammerite, offering a streak and drip free finish with zero wastage I'm available on all the serious makers and creatives social media platforms; TikTok and Snapchat.

A boot full of good condition Defender doors (two front and two second row) with all the locks and glass etc., for a very reasonable price.

I bet it does! As above, Sudocrem should sort it.

Cheers!

Just realised this should've been in the 'today I made' rather than the 'today I acquired' discussion.

A lifetime supply of pain inducing omnipresent needle generators.

Don't wait till you start getting macular degeneration where the sensors in the back of your eyes start dying off a few at a time ....make a ginormous pellet catcher at least 2 mtr x 2 mtr . Not long after mild stroke when I was allowed to drive again I took my rifles to the rifle club and had some practice at 50 mtrs . I didn't hit SFA . Went to the zeroing bench and using Victorian gun clamp did a bore sight at 25 mtrs on a house for sale sign painted white. , put two rounds of the .223 within 1/8 of an inch of each other . Then checked the scope . reset it to the MPI then did two free hand shots , they weren't even on the board , two shots on a leather sand bag rest same result. Similar results with my .22 LRF & its dedicated scope .

Had a chat with range managers and was advised to get my eyes checked . I've lost central vision cells so each time I was taking a shot the area registering view could have been anywhere within a 360 radius view .
Accurate shooting with a rifle days over , still had a shottie for a while though .

BUBBBBBBLR WRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

This is how the items in to box came out.

My friend was bidding on a steam engine for me at a local, to him,auction house. I left him some money for it.
This is what he sent me.

Every item was wrapped in bubble wrap, news paper and more bubble wrap.

No engine was visable or indicated, but the box was a good weight.

Oh look duplicates.

A bit better.

A Motorist EveryReady torch.

To be honest, I was not impressed with this.
Untill I found the Cival defence stamp, a date of 1950, crows foot stamp and Number.

More Ex WD items. Dated 1943.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

I am still unwrapping.

I knew what was in the bubble wrap.

The shape is well know.

But not the meassage.

The box's are damaged, but un opened.
I think they are wire brushes.

Oh well no engine, I was getting a bit frustrated with this.
The planes are unused.

Well it is "Meths" fueled.

It is also stamped:
Royal Armery.
1951

Soap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FFS.
Oh a GWR Drawer handle.
A chuck key.

He is not answering his phone.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

There is a few items left.

Another one.

At last a Mamod part.
The two funnels are interesting.
I know the engines they are meant to be attached.

Carp.

Yes £0:70p.

Unused.
The glue is un-opened.
But it is not steam related.

No answer on the phone.

A steam engine driven circulat saw, repair parts and no engine.

Oh well.

2 more items to un wrap.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

Any one wnat some bubble wrap?

AH, a box.

AT LAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
