  1. Made sure my Yamaha two-stroke outboard would start - it did :)
    Pretty bomb proof engines that are as popular around the world as McDonalds!

  3. Lockdown must be boring, but dinner in the oven,that's a bit extreme. I'm surprised you can even fit in there, let alone have dinner.

    :D

    Hope dinner was good. :upyeah:

  4. It was the fact that he worked at Halfords and had such ability that surprised me!

    Also I notice MotoGp is about to start up soon. That’s a race. Doh! Sorry I shouldn’t have mentioned it.

  5. Fired up a bonfire about 8:30 last night, mostly well seasoned laurel prunings, some old fencing that had been kicking around and bits of tree left after I had a reverted Canadian variegated acer removed. A pile of ash this morning and a clear garden. Upset one neighbour though, who thought the bonfire was too big and sending up too many sparks which might set his fence alight. No idea where he came from because he isn’t one of my immediate neighbours. Andy

  9. Knock on my front door at 7:50 this morning, 2 blokes delivering the TV I ordered for Carole less than 24 hours ago. Caught me still in my jimmy jams :joy: Just got back from her’s having set it up and bloody hell, it’s got a fantastic picture driven by her Sky Q box, the 4K content is just stunning. Made me realise, the UHF aerial on my roof just isn’t cutting the mustard and I should be thinking about looking at an internet tv package provider. Andy

  10. I had a moment o_O
    I’m doing a virtual walk and it needs my phone to count my steps. I have work out leggings on so tucked my phone between my skin and the waist band as I have done many times.
    Took it out to check and it says iPhone disabled try again in 1 min
    OMG I can’t get it to work
    No way of checking on line as no one else is here
    Good old Alexa she tells me to plug into my PC and iTunes for a reboot
    Arghhhh I don’t have a PC to hand
    Panic panic
    Alexa how do I get iPhone to work without PC
    Power phone down them restart
    Phew after a min I could put password in.

    Apparently skin contact can wake the screen and stepping had activated passcode and it had been put in incorrectly 6 times causing the phone to disable
    I have now turned off wake up phone by touching it or shaking

  11. Turning off and on again is known as the Engineers reset. I do it all the time with our machines :)

  12. Received my new Milwaukee multi-tool this morning, so I've been doing a bit more sanding (window returns after having new windows fitted)...and more filling then more sanding - at my age I would have thought I would accept that the paint might fill much of the remaining blemishes :weary_face:

  13. Paint always makes the blemishes more noticeable, doesn't stop me hoping every time.
