Haven't you got children?
PM me your postal address. I'll send you a bucket load of them - all different colours :roll:seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -
You have bucketloads of different coloured children to spare? :shock:Pinno wrote:Haven't you got children?

recycling vans - they hold up the traffic, completely blocking the road ..... sure that sucks for the cars, but after I have filtered to the front of the queue and gone past the van ... I have a totally clear lane, all to myself, I can place the bike out of the potholes cycle lane and give it some beans ..... ooooooh 1 mile of head down quad burning threshold booooyah0

Yes - screw it on to your dashboard. As a they are both period pieces, it would have a quaint charm and also match the eclectic nature of the pilot.
Okay Bompy, you know fair well that if you have kids, you have a stream of colouring pencils to sharpen.
Now, how to combine Thick Mike's contraption, T47's suggestion and some cogs to make a conveyor sharpener - linear of course...seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -

And would go nicely with the other item attached to the dashboard

The knob on the back of old wiper motors so you can operate the wipers manually if the motor fails always makes me smile.0

I used to like the old vacuum type windscreen wipers that slowed to a crawl when going up hill but went like the clappers when going down. My now deceased brother in law had them on his Ford Consul and they always fascinated me.Rose Xeon CDX 3100, Ultegra Di2 disc (nice weather)

Being back on the bike after 6 weeks of bad weather/bad knee excuses/reasons. Only 10 miles on flat ground but no pain and felt nice to be out again. Start to put more miles on this week hopefully and definitely over the weekend

Going to drop your stuff back to your car in a busy car park and someone drives the wrong way down aisle to get your space, hangs around indicating that they are going in there while blocking everyone then realises you aren't leaving.0

Having an instrument that measures the humidity in my house. And using my woodburner to bring it down. A stove is the most amazing dehumidifier. With more burning I think I can officially turn my house into a desert.

...the way we measure moisture content in air is by its relative humidity, defined as the partial pressure of the water vapor in the mixture divided by the vapor pressure times 100%. So a relative humidity of 100% means the partial pressure of the water is equal to the vapor pressure at that temperature, we can loosely define the capacity to "hold" water as how far we are from 100% RH at a given temperature, with the total amount of gas fixed. If we start off at 50% RH, and after an increase in temperature find that the RH has dropped to 40%, then we know that warmer air can "hold" more water, since we are further away from saturation and thus have more "room" to add water, and can achieve the same RH with a higher concentration of water. So how does the RH changes with temperature? Relative humidity is the ratio of partial pressure to vapor pressure. Well, both the partial pressure of water and the vapor pressure increase when you increase temperature. However, the vapor pressure increases more rapidly than the partial pressure (see Ideal gas law and Antoine equation for quantitative relationships). The result is that for a given increase in temperature, the vapor pressure increases more than the partial pressure, thus lowering the relative humidity, and resulting in air that can "hold" more moisture...
