Gopping here. Gopping tomorrow, according to the forecast. My garden has a new lake and the road is getting a good wash. Maybe the ducks will move in.

    Great news LD

    Sure it’s loverly outside, hidden behind the darkness and general gloom.

    Long walk for hounds and then work stuff, sparky here later to sort lights and most importantly a plug so the new tv in the snug is wall mounted.

    Later might get a run in as I don’t think I will get a long one in tomorrow

    Then obviously cider

    Caffeine #1 imbibition, get woken up, get off t'interweb, get kit loaded, get to clients the long way round because of flood levels in the Valley. Then a hard day's physical labour. The Friday evening units will be discounted.

    Morning. Surprised that forcing myself out of bed for an early run is so much less likely to happen than getting up for a ride (not surprised). Oh well, later on it is. Staff briefing in half an hour, mundanities of remote teaching all day.

    Been for a walk to the Covid shop, sorry I mean Tesco.
    Bright here at the moment but don't think it will last.
    WFH blah blah blah.
    Head still hurts from whacking it on the boot the other day.

    Another cheat treat...

    Morning John! Welcome to the dark side of the forum. Let’s see if we can get your bottom bracket post count up.

    Teacher you say? We might have to start a BB teacher ranking thread. You’re are currently top as you’re the only one who hadn’t refused to home school my kids yet.

    Nice one LD.

    Johngti has increased his BB post count by 20%.

    Gopping, bloody gopping. Have to take Porker for a drive to bleed the system after new front hoses.
    Must split some wood. Running out of small stuff.
    Toots to edewkate.

    Morning moaners. WFW as usual, currently chasing missing volts between 2 points. I hate safety circuits. Roll on home time.
    Too many bikes according to Mrs O.

    Gopping? Can you stop copying Stevo, you are an individual. Use something more eloquent please.

    Everyone needs a target. Fortunately you’ve just given me two! As a maths teacher with previous in physics, I’m surprised I’ve not got involved in these threads before. Titles are intriguing.

    (And thanks for the welcome to the bottom bracket)
  • seanoconnseanoconn Posts: 10,447
    Titles can be very misleading! 😂

    It's the only way to describe it. Besides, perhaps Stevo is copying me. So there.

    It'll give the mould some to collect i suppose. Mmm mildew.

    I bet that water resistant plasterboard is even pricier than it was 3 years ago.

    I'll find out when the bath gets chucked for a walk in shower. But everything seems so far away at the moment.

    If there's only a bath and no shower it might be ok. Especially if you put in some half decent ventilation:

    Builder bloke turned up yesterday, random steel structure inside the shed now removed finally. Yay! Today he was digging channels to install some decent drainage down there too.

    Old wood burner in lounge room also removed this morning, and sold off. Humongous brick hearth removed which was several hours on cold chisel and mallet, meaning I am now *very* f^cking sore in the arms and hands.

    Good to finally get some of these things ticked off "The List"... Still plenty on it though. Next up will be flooring removal, and maybe some tiles to go as well.

    Greetings, rather dull day work wise but clear sunny sky outside (clearly something wrong there).
    Plan work wise is to do very little I'm waiting on a parcel which should keep me busy but its just dawned on me I could crack out a model kit an do some bits. I have the delightfully named versuchsflakwagen 8.8 cm flak 41 auf sonderfahrgestell pz.sfl.ivc (rolls off the tongue that one) Flak 41 cannon being mainly completed in the form of breech recoil system and platform all work sadly no scale firing pin though. Or I have a swathe of fully unstarted kits to dabble with. Probably do nothing though.

    Where I lead, others follow :)

    Busy day but the sun's out which makes things a bit nicer. Especially peaceful as Strifey is out walking the hounds.

    LD - good news about the jab. I move into another age bracket soon. Might have to organise and 'age exclusive' pub trip for all vaccinated BB'ers and the rest can watch on livestream to remind them what it's like.

    Started out honking here, now fry and bright but cold.

    Forecast is hacking and gibbers so will get turbo set up.

    This was this morning's coffee that seems an age ago now.

    are you now reconciled with oily totty constance?

    just changed batteries in etap shifters, after six years one was giving an occasional red flicker when tested, the test leds are much brighter now

    took longer than expected - cr2032 batteries now come in 'baby-secure' packaging that can only be opened with scissors etc., even then there're two sticky bits to remove from the thing, apparently there's also a 'bitter taste', but i didn't test that
