Tea?

[Bobby Mhor]

They gotta call it summat, but that...

How is the piece you're printing out going to fit the piece showing below?

Think you're in for a bit of a wait although there appears to be a weather front coming in from the west. Hits Ireland tonight/tomorrow morning.

Looks small enough.
How many you planning on adding. I'm assuming too directional will make it picky to use.

The roof!

And your card remained untouched. Be wary of contactless payments.
Not that bad then.

Have fun...

Its a base...
I just did it because it was handy..
There is no weight in the PCB..
I fit a 10mm dia bit of plastic tubing or wood into it and fit the PCB antenna onto the top, I don't need much height, 15 or 18 inches would do nicely and just point E'wards...
Not expecting to really hear much, it'll work better from a high spot but as i say, well after new year I'll have a go, dedicate a weekend to it.
The thing at that is coax cable runs can have high loss with even medium length runs of cable, my locations is't that great at VHF and above so portable working at that band is much more productive for me....
excellent house location for family not radio...

Snow to the W of us today..
Down to minus 2.4c just now and forecasted for minus 5, Mrs M says.....

cards been biffed again.. remember what happens 5 weeks time...
Had enough for the day.......

That's what I thought when you posted the picture today. Then thinking about it's size had me wondering if it was a base(home) project or a mobile one. Be interesting to see when it's finished, ready for use.
You're sounding hopeful, what are you expecting to pick up with it.
Will that be a weekend away, or will you be testing in the "Mhor Mobile"?
Family first, radio second.

Clear here for most of the day, no more snow as yet but I'm hopeful.
Colder weather forecast for the weekend, down these parts at least.

Totted up and recorded? We'll be one week short of 2025!
There's always tomorrow...

Good morning
Still here at the Towers....
Stay warm....

Radio first, don't be silly

-3.8c overnight...
still below just now but sun due to appear at the WX machine..
Brekkie time...

Looks a bit fragile for mobile use, must say. But your talk of heading for high ground had me wondering.
You never know, there might be a surprise.
Up in't loft?
Fair enough, but wouldn't the house have been in a more open location.

Similar here, 0c at present.
We have the sun, so it's a bit warmer in that.
Enjoy it!

Treated myself to the first McCafe in ages...

Why not, no fun if you don't enjoy it.
Maybe that explains the pint yesterday, a bribe. One in each arm or both in the same arm?
"Won"! You had less time to claim your prize this time as well. You shared it, there's enough in one to do that still.
Abstinence makes the heart, and tastebuds, grow fonder.

It won't drop in price at midnight?
The Big River can't meet your expectations so you're going across the sea.
Much of your last lot left?

The kids have an easy choice for my Xmas....
I've enough to be going on with,
I haven't anything else planned just now..
well, maybe one simple thing..
oh, and the rest of the gutter clips that is if the one I made is okay, I'll check tomorrow morning.
They are a quick print job....
I just have to count what I need so hopefully WX will hold..

I'll look at what's popping up on the 'new' stuff page.

The holy terror will arrive in the day later....

If they all buy the same colour!
Printing wise or PLA wise.
You certain you'll be giving that printer a well earned rest soon?
You putting your lights up outside soon...
Weather is supposed to turn wet n'windy this weekend. Might also warm up a bit, might being the operative wording.

So you are looking for a decent deal tomorrow.

Print off a pair of handcuffs for her...

 

[Bobby Mhor]

Good morning
I turned the computer and a yellow alert warning for heavy rain popped..
oh boy, think Bert is arriving in the next 24 hours or so...

Nah, they'll work it out...
Yep, after today, the cover will be over it....

Not so soon, I'll be directed by the Xmas manager,
it isn't much, a couple of strings of, I dunno, flashy ones.
Never had this before, more for the wee yins...
Yo ho ho..
Got as low as -2.8c
BUT look it pepped up to 2.8c at one point (1.09am)..cloud cover I guess

Early brekkie today....

Owdo
What happens if you do it all in reverse, does the yellow alert disappear...
Rain, after all this snow. Not fair. Tell Bert he's not wanted.

You hope...
You'll go back to it and there'll be new parts on it. Parts you were certain weren't there before you put it to bed for a rest.

You have a manager for Christmas!
Not lighting up the house so it can be seen by passing aircraft then.
You still have yer Santa suit, for when they're at "The Towers".
...and a bottle of rum...
Thought it warmed up here around 23:30 for a while before cooling again.

Back to normal, for now...
