Never mind CD's.

I still play metal cassettes and have two "Walkmans" which I use (not both at the same time though) when walking the dog.

Although 'Metal' cassettes are very abrasive and wreck the 'heads' in tape decks.

I've got some good quality recordings on IV tapes, Police, Springsteen etc.

Better than seagulls on the roof.

In other news, Garmin is still down. If it is ransomware, it may be some time.

Garmin device in my car seems to be working ok this morning. The trike uses a wheel sensor for speed and distance.

I didn't know it was but you are not incorrect, me thinks they forgot to pay their hosting fees

Warm, overcast and blustery here chez Casa Reynard today. And it keeps looking as though it might rain.

Am still feeling rather fragile, but have been puttering about in the kitchen this morning. Guess what I've got going in the crock pot for tonight's supper @woodbutcher

I've also managed to wrestle the grips off the bars. One came off easily, the other required a bit of persuasion with a screwdriver. I'm going to re-use them as they're perfectly serviceable. I may decide to change them at a later date, I may not.

It's hot, with a hot wind from somewhere hot, the dogs are sleeping because it's too hot to run around, and l have just been mucking out horses because they spend the HOT part of the day in their stables. So now l am hot and smell most unattractively of hot horse and warm horse sh*t !!

 

[woodbutcher]

Oh l forgot , one of the horses has somehow managed to slice a 4" cut into its muzzle ... while in my care 😢

This afternoon I've fettled my bike and I've cleaned the oven, just the kitchen floor to sweep next.

Morning all! There's a man on the roof with a big power tool. If you want to know what it sounds like, I just discovered, use an electric toothbrush while wearing earplugs. The main difference is that the roof noise is closer to B flat, while the resonant frequency of my skull is closer to the G above.

That sounds like the result of some considerable and time consuming research there

If the weather carries on like this I may be able to eat my fish and chips al fresco.

Could you or @Reynard please link me to the post with the recipe. I'm on the crock pot tomorrow.

I managed to sort out both locos and got them running again . I had to solder a wire back on to the one which wouldn't run forwards . It must have become detached when I removed the body . The problem with the running was due to a loose motor . In reverse the motor would pull itself back into position and whilst going forwards it would pull itself out of mesh . I tightened up the screw which held the rear mounting bracket in place .
