The 'look at what I did today' thread

Post by **simonc** » Sat Mar 31, 2018 1:17 am

Hi Sailor, the whole linkage broke I'm afraid. It's all been fixed now along with a host of other things that needed doing. I'll update my profile to share the work as soon as I've a few minutes.
The only thing I learnt from the drive back was that rainwater 'clears' from the screen at speeds above 110kph. Trouble was that the North / South highway was pretty jammed all the way back.

Anecdotally, if you cut a potato in half and wipe the cut face over the screen, the water glides off.

Old boys used to swear by it, but I never tried it.

Now where were you with a sack of spuds when I needed you, Sailor?

I checked four lines on lottery tickets today. 21 numbers in all and not one of them came up.
I can't be bothered to work out the odds, but it seems extraordinary.

I haven't bought a lottery ticket since the 90s

whole lot got sold to toronto teachers retirement pension fund as a cash cow. they doubled the odds to something like 42 million to one at the same time as doubling the cost per play to £2. Dreams of the UK proletariat paying a comfy retirement for middleclass canadian teachers. Poetic

So today, so far, I have managed to find out that the £1 novelty knife sharpener I bought off wish doesnt work for some knives but works too well on certain large machetes I have.... No ground clearing blade has right to be so sharp... As my finger discovered. Three butterfly stitches and a big plaster later its time for a beer and an afternoon in the sun.

There was actual blood spray as it went through

i'd only just changed the sheets..

I'd post pics but you dont want to see that....

oh, and I still can't post pics.

What an example too...
AUDM VTIR H22Z1 Auto

Looks in exceptional condition.

Is that engine code right? Z1? That's totally random if it is - what were Honda thinking?
