Morning, in Kings Lynn at the moment for five days work at East Winch, a decent pool and gym at the hotel
Enjoy your week0 -

heading to see Ostia ruins in a bit. Suspect it will be - quite metaphorical and a physical manifestation of the mental being of the english national cricket and rugby teams - ie overgrown and fallen over.
then onto the big iron bird to get home into the loving arms of TDV.
coffee is also imminent.

Coffee time, little motivation here. Raced bikes on the weekend, I can barely move today. Awaiting the results but I know I did fairly dreadfully.
Hey ho, must buy a new bike0 -

Turbulent times ahead. I feel for you. So many choices; it's a minefield.
Supposed to be sunny here. That's that 2/98 ratio inversion rearing it's ugly head.
2 more days of Toots holidays left. I might survive.

Bowl of lidl Krave clone, tea, espresso. Cycled in to work, bit humid. Today I am prepping evidence for an academic offences panel then measuring stuff for a masters student on a CMM. Interspersed with writting course material, putting a conference presentation together and a myriad of random admin items.0

I am an unwilling participant in the even called "Monday" and wish to leave.
Sums up the day, no energy, tired and hungry despite eating. May sneak off home and nap.0 -

Sounds fun. I'm going surfing in the sunshine 0 -
Well, that escalated quickly.
Lazy start to Monday, headed off to get lunch and pick up a couple of replacement power outlet switches.
Came home with 7 switches, a set of hooks for garden implements, a small stack of form-ply sheeting, a Dremel kit, a cordless impact driver/drill and a battery powered chainsaw. :shock: :shock:

I have several already.. a electric (cheapie) one that's "ok" for softwood, an extension pole brush cutter type, a high power Husqvarna petrol 20" one which is awesome (and very easy to start TBH)... There's another old petrol one that is now probably dead somewhere in the shed.Matthewfalle wrote:Wheelspinner wrote:Well, that escalated quickly.

So picked up an AEG 18V small one - only 12" bar I think - for small stuff and pruning medium trees for times when I CBA to get the petrol one out.The little brush cutter type I have is a bit wussy for anything thicker than about 2".
Man in shop reckoned the DeWalt 54V one was the mutt's nuts but too big and heavy for what I wanted. But for firewood cutting you might be better off with something like that. There are some really good Husqvarna and Stihl ones in that "professional" range of battery jobs too, but the damned battery packs are *seriously* expensive for that application.Open One+ BMC TE29 Seven 622SL On One Scandal Cervelo RS0 -

Hand axe. Buy three and you can have fun throwing them in the garden, which might not be reccomended with a chainsaw.0 -
What make of cordless impact driver WS? Any good? Okay for up to 170nm?seanoconn - gruagach craic!0

Afternoon folks,
Must admit I didn't know they had Lidl in Oz, that's what happens whenever the Mrs goes in there and sees their bargain bins.
Another busy day of sorting out other people's screw ups. Had to educate one of the managers about how VAT works, he had a bit of a hissy fit at me. Explaining you can't order something through the States and have it delivered here without VAT wasn't a popular move, he wanted to kick the can down the road and sort it later. I feel like Stevo now, but not the Stevo that's on holiday.
Was going to walk to Sainsbury's but it started raining, went to Gregg's as it's nearer. I'll have to pedal harder tonight.0 -
I'd normally help you out there V but lounging by the pool drinking plonk is just too good an option right now.Veronese68 wrote:Afternoon folks,

This one is the combo drill/driver so only rated up to about 80 NM. It's an AEG. Haven't used it yet, but feels and seems pretty solidly made.Pinno wrote:What make of cordless impact driver WS? Any good? Okay for up to 170nm?
They also do an impact driver which claims 180 NM.. like this one.

No problem, completely understand. I won of course, his acting like a petulant child and saying "just do it and sort it out later" didn't really help. Me being right kind of helped, luckily for him the FD is also on holiday.Stevo 666 wrote:I'd normally help you out there V but lounging by the pool drinking plonk is just too good an option right now.0 -
Pinno, I have a Ryobi 18V one, does up to 220nm. Drills solid used it for many a stupid task, Impact gun whizzes off hub nuts etc no bother

Or the silly 400nm version

Can't they mark it as "gift" on the customs form? Seems to work for stuff from China.Veronese68 wrote:Had to educate one of the managers about how VAT works, he had a bit of a hissy fit at me.

Hmm - wheel nuts, no. Porker wheel nuts are alu on the 944. They get a hammering from impact drivers.
I ended up wrecking a 19mm blue point deep socket which got jammed on the wheel nut.
Shelled out for a set of wheel nuts (and a socket) so it won't happen again.
But (you know), pesky suspension arm bolts, cross members, anything that's exposed to the roads...seanoconn - gruagach craic!0
