I still use my ft817, it's quite elderly as radios go, but works adequately. I was hoping to find some time to get an EFHW tuned for 20m and possibly 40m but the one evening I managed to get out with the mast I was bogged down with phone calls so abandoned the idea. Hope everyone is well! :cuppa:

Howdy..
I don't know what to with it..
trade in against one of the Xeigu (spelin worng) so I can do WWFF or POTA..
I'm actually using (in my loftspace)what I had built as my portable HF with a small ATU, I can tune 80-6m, just off 80m FT8 and a couple of contacts without spending much time there, not the best but works for me...

all is well here,
new ankle tendon please :laugh:
heart, legs, body also needed:cuppa:
73

Aye, from the peloton. The main body in a race such as the Parid - Roubaix that you felt you were in.
Custard Cream or digestive?
Pity Poor Polly. The wind taken out of one of her tyres...
You remember this sky, don't you.

You don't trust your own work, or worse than you thought.
None of them are that odd.
You finish the unit build, with the minimum of cursing.
Early morning game on at night!

The circuit was bumpy enough at times whilst looking out for the whin sides..
Custard Creams all the way..
bourbon is an old favourite.

Of course, why the sky?
I never filtered or altered the original photo....

I can do many things just always worried in case I do something stupid (not in the Nancy way)
Logged up, busy family day tomorrow...

Bourbons are getting hard to find these days. Cheaper versions aside.

I said it were a sign of bad weather on the way. You got the lightning, thunder and rain...

Never said you couldn't do many things. More a case of mistreating poor Polly.
Fewer contacts to log, or just your printer working with you.

Enjoy the party.

You've no intention of cooking it...
Oooohh multicoloured fingers that no amount of washing will clear.
No hesitation, does the printer know your plans.
Back to filling things in by hand?
The fizz, only now!

More likely lack of use, recommended to print off something weekly with a permanent print head in the printer.
I'll see if I can get it printing again but I doubt it, got plenty of ink so I'll put in fresh cartridges then even if it works, I'll look at a new one, nothing fancy just a basic all in one that'll take cheapo ink

Run it through a cleaning cycle a few times. Might get the ink flowing.

You'll buy online no doubt.

Hello there...
Thought you weren't too keen on Mondays for some reason.
Trying positive vibes today
You want some satisfaction from it then.
Cuppa then printer seems reasonable to me.
 What's a fair age these days for a printer.
Be careful Alexa might hear you.
Printer cleaning has been run a few times..
nozzle check sheet okay for colours but black splats everywhere.....I have a monitor and all sorts of junk sitting on top of it..
best get a roll of bog roll and dab(sook) the excess black ink away...
Think a printhead cleaner might be worth a try...
Asked Alexa a question and she said 'sorry'
Ask Mrs M ? I would have got an answer and an opinion :ohmy:

Positive vibes before attacking the printer.

Could it be the stuff on top that's bending the casing, causing the thing to protest?
Do yo have you enough toilet roll for the job in hand. I've used a towel before now, then washed it.
She were sorry, what for?
Alexa doesn't do opinions as far as I'm aware.

My Prime is up today.....
asked her a question about it...
3d printer presently (hopefully) printing the Japanese lucky bear...
changed the nozzle and mat,
we'll see how it does, should be finished in 5 hours :ohmy:
I said, should.
Extremities all crossed.
Plenty bog roll, B&Q had a great deal plus 15% off, so stored a few packs away (well after covid lockdown times)

Weren't your prime some time ago now. According to you at least.
What sort of answer did you get.
How big is that lucky bear? How many do you need before you notice any effect.
Toilet roll hoarding. It'll go off before you get the chance to use it.
