It's a bit nippy here too. I was planning on riding to park run but not sure now, might go for a nose outside to see how icy it is, might be as n MTB job.
Going out for lunch later, not my idea, but someone else is paying.
In other news someone had half their bike stolen from our locked basement at work the other day. More reasons not to ride to work I think, or to find somewhere else to work.0 -
Just ride a hack to work like VN does. Nick one at the railway station.
Yesterday clear, crisp and sunny. Not a cloud in the sky. Last night - moon, frost and now rain @ 2 deg c. Lovely.
Today i'll be mowstly sorting the woodburner thingy. The apertures where it fits have slowly disintegrated and it falls over now.
Need to cut out 40mm x 40mm to allow the handle to clear it and weld 2 tabs on the piece of L steel 80 x 80 x 385mm.
Then light the burner and hibernate for the day.
Shorty thought the picture was boring and needed a Reindeer.

Freezing fog has lifted. Heavy rain due in an hour for the rest of the day. I ain't going out. I have never liked November.0

Doesn't solve the problem of not being able to get in to the place because pizza express dickheads keep blocking the doors. Might borrow a tank one day.pinno said:Just ride a hack to work like VN does. Nick one at the railway station.
MTB was a good call, there's an inch of snow on the ground now since parkrun. I expect it's bonkers up at llandegla.

Odds an ends day doing random jobs, then also partaking in hibernation.

+1 November is a bit pants as months go. I'd give the prize to January if it wasnt for the chance of skiing.orraloon said:Freezing fog has lifted. Heavy rain due in an hour for the rest of the day. I ain't going out. I have never liked November.
Done a few collections and drop offs and now enjoying bacon sarnie and coffee at the local cafe. Forecast to tank down this afternoon so best get outdoor stuff done soon."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0 -
Afternoon folks,
Traditional slow start has been enjoyed. Knackered after a busy day at the NEC yesterday. Didn’t even have time to eat anything until I got on the train home. Had a pint at Euston before heading back across town.
Good bike for work most days now Piña, we finally got a bike rack installed inside the warehouse. Still take a hack if I have to lock up somewhere, a good hack should look unloved but work well.
More sofa shopping shortly, hopefully the females will decide on one today.0 -

Llandegla was indeed bonkers, but much fun, especially on the way there and back in the snow with the only 4x4 between my mate and I. I adore his e63sthistle_(mbnw) said:

Snow? Fugginell. That's a bit much. Been tennis, dropped mini at a party. Went up taaahhhn. Sat on sofas. Bought sofa. Left Mrs H3 to go carousing with her mates.Took the boy shopping in and around Soho. Dumped the boy back at flat, collected mini from a party, went to look at the house, got my hairs cut, went to the supermarket. Got home, realised there's no beer in the house, so going to have to go back out in this filthsome weather.0

I seem to recall last year's party involved heroic quantities of liquor. I assume the same this year? Keeping out that november chill..

Snow peaked at 2" here, melting away now.0 -
2" of snow? Shropshire or Cheshire?
When are you moving home H alt 0179?seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -
Next weekend Pinno. Couple weeks decorating while we are back, but watertight, heating/hot water plus working kitchen and bathroom by Friday. Only a week late, because a plumber disappeared on holiday, so no underfloor heating to dry out the screed above it.0

I'm using a Mac (are you?) and the alt0179 thing fails on these as well. I've set an auto text replace for "H3" to be "H3" because the only time I'll type that string is on these pages, but it will replace it everywhere which may be a pain.pinno said:2" of snow? Shropshire or Cheshire?

It is the measurement for the unit of coil inductance "Henry", so an electrical engineer writing technical documents might describe something as a 2.1 H coil. AFAIK there is no such thing as a Cubic Henry unit of inductance.pinno said:Though, I don't know where you would use a capital H on it's own.
But yes you could just replace H with the superscript formatted version H3Open One+ BMC TE29 Seven 622SL On One Scandal Cervelo RS0 -

Talking of which, my sparky mate restored an old ('81) 2 stroke Honda. The stator coil was shagged and a replacement £350+.
So he re did the winding himself. 1500 on 1 coil and 1500 on the other...
