Tea?

[classic33]

Afternoon all
Late due to Xmas shopping, oh boy..

Evening
Thought you'd done all yours earlier this year. Only the newest to buy for.
Enjoy yerself?

Print job abandoned..
meant for a filament I haven't any experience of,
I'm using the basic jack of all trades PLA,
had seen bed and print head temperature and knew it wasn't right..
Job wasn't sticking dur to the high bed temperature.
Job's a bogey..

Out shopping with Mrs M then a wee long way trip..
new garden centre bagged

If resizing , you get the option of the three adjusting at the same time, handy.
There is an option to do just one at a time.
It's amazing at how the whole thing works at such fine tolerances....
I can even pause the print...

I spotted a station on VHF from outside Leeds last night,
I have 'worked' him in the past due to plane scatter,
another SE of Brum as well.
Only jockland for me.

One thing less to worry about.
At least you found out before having parted with any hard earned money.
Is the printer you're using able to do it, just your unfamiliarity with the material stopping you.
It'll come back to haunt you?

Extra set of arms, hands and legs to help with the lugging around.
Were the wee long trip to the "new" garden centre or was it discovered on yer travels...

Handy if you need to resize the whole thing, whilst keeping it all in proportion.
Could end up with a funny looking lucky cat if you altered only two.
Thought abought getting one a few years ago, but unable to justify it. Local shops selling them didn't inspire me either.


There's supposed to be a few in the high rise blocks, on the upper floors, just outside the city centre.
Only jockland, you don't work over anywhere else?

 

[classic33]

Of any interest?

 

[classic33]

Poorridge Ban!

How will you manage now?

I'm wary working with something I don't know..
Obviously that filament needs a higher melting point and a much hotter bed heat, if I had the filament in question I would have had a go...
I'll stick to basic stuff just now after my 'misfortunes' first time around.
Somebody has misplaced my lucky gold cat.....

Take a look at top left corner...Scale option
100% (normal) Benchy

125% Benchy

When you see the sizes (see Scale), the difference in real life looks much different (to me anyway)

Of any interest?

Don't know the type. age...age can be critical, PLA absorbs moisture (I wondered why I got a 'dryer' for my birthday)...
Postage could be interesting...
Research, ebay still selling but disappeared off Amazon years ago (it seems)
I would avoid....

Poorridge Ban!

'Traditional porridge is a really supportive, nutritious, fibre-rich breakfast food that fills us up and supports our good gut bacteria, as well as reducing cholesterol. To just demonise that as a food group is really short-sighted.”
Its yon trendy wee sachets/pots of sugar rich so called porridge....just add water lot....
I use water80%/milk 20% and rolled oats, nothing else added, anything added is sacrilege and those who do? Taught the error of their ways....
I add milk once ready but just enough...

Those pictures you'd see before you started printing, or as the job progresses?
You can see the difference in size, confirmation giving by counting the squares on the mat.

You could ask questions. Saw it going through upcoming auctions.
You're the one with the printer, so I'll bow to your knowledge on the subject.

Part of the latest ban on junk food advertising. Can't remember the last time I saw an advert for porridge. Oats are apparently bad for you now.
Thought you added a pinch of salt to yours?
Full fat, as nature intended, or the "healthy" skimmed type.

 

[classic33]

Owdo the wide, wild world
Wind has died down, Darragh didn't do much here aside from dumping a bit of water, and threatening to get windy.
Clearing up outside and looks set to be a half decent day.

 

[Bobby Mhor]

Good morning from a sunny Towers
An ominous orange tinted sky to the east earlier
Warnings of rain to come...

More likely a house clearance or something....

Probably posted this before

We were talking about this earlier, wondering how many folk still make porridge the traditional way...
no salt now....
I've been doing my way for over 40 odd years and my vessel of choice must be over 30 years old...
going by the very faded homer simpson logo on one side.
Just cutting out the messy pot..
There is no difference...

Jeez, since the storms got names (another Americanism)..
I remember the panic (last years of work) sending us home early on the premise if we were needed we'd come back out depending on damage etc,
most times just petered out into a normal wet'n'windy day.
Mind you, Storm Toodles is here causing havoc, as usual...

Overcast, with the near clear skies gone here.
Odd colour sky last night.
You could be getting what we had.

Could be, or a business that ceased trading given the no reserves bit.

Don't recall seeing all four together before. Black one must be hard find.

Not certain, be interesting in an odd sort of way to know. Who uses the nuclear option(microwave) and who makes it in a pan.
Non! How long now.
You still make it in the pan. "Vessel of choice" has lasted a while. Could be Homer is keeping an eye on it for you.
Last lot I made were in a five gallon pan. Not much left in the pan afterwards.

They felt that giving them names would somehow make it more personal, and this would cause people to take a greater interest in what was headed their way. Don't think it worked.
Never got sent home early because of bad weather. Having got there, I were non too keen on turning and going home earlier. Often in the bad weather.
Tell her she's early, we're only on "D" at present, "T" being a long way off.

Storm 'T' has special standing, like the storms raging in Neptune's rings which pale in comparison..
I see a red warning issued in parts of Wales, that's serious stuff....
the WX maps on't telly are not the same, when they had the isobars on then, you could tell more at a glance.
I also find it funny companies like the ones that use the Met Off data can make good money from it.
Its like AI giving their long winded forecast, I used to laugh at the one oor cooncil paid well for, it arrived by fax every day after one, a quick look at the one o'clock news could tell you the same.
I'd a pal who worked at a nearby cooncil and he told me they had used a reading form some WX thing based at sea level to decide whether the gritters were going out...high road part was about 750 ft ASL. Someone eventually got the idea using one at that height would be better. It was noticeable in ours, the gritters did a lot on November work for some reason

I make my gruel in that chocolate cup thing in't microwave...
Mind you for old times sake, I made a potful recently and no difference, there's less cleaning up to do with my present method..
I'm the only one who has it....

It just seemed that panic was setting in or more like those in charge wanted a early bolt..
Good the day after a windy storm, we spent the day looking for damaged trees, making anything safe and checking burns, grids were clear..
hated wind alerts at the last Towers as we were very exposed with anything coming straight off the golf course, folk asked why I never got the moss scraped off the tiles....got it done when we knew we was flogging it...

That good or bad?
Noticed that, and it keeps changing on the maps. Spreading eastwards...
Many didn't understand that being closer together meant stronger winds. A bit like contour lines on maps, closer together being steeper.
Where there's a chance of making money, someone will...
Council down here used to get it from Liverpool, a few miles away.
Pole Hill, above Hebden Bridge, nearby were used by Manchester Airport. Beacon for the airports/aircraft in place on it.

Gruel in yer chocolate cup! What do you use for yer hot chocolate.
Fair enough if it's only yourself that's eating it. Advantage of a pan is there's more for later, if you want it.
Falling out o'favour?

Those in charge didn't want to get stuck, lest they be made stay even longer.
Did you find any.
Not too bad with wind alerts being on a spur in a valley. Get the odd time it blows in the same direction as the valley. Get snow and it drops it on us.
Tarted up for selling, or did you do it yourself.

We have yellow warnings for snow, wind and rain.....
Beer check, cider check, mixers check..
If any thing drastic happens, I have plenty of liquid in stock.

Porridge? that's enough for me, if I still feel peckish, a slice or two of mickey most.
its almost a bowl..

Just did it as some folk don't like messy roofs, little would they know why it had never been cleaned off in years..
Problem was, six of us in the terrace and four had their tiles jet washed to remove moss etc..
and suffered bad leaks after it, person doing job did it too close and took protective skin off tiles....
Told neighbours either side they would have problems..
One on left said the builder who did the job said it was our roof with its moss that caused her leaky roof, leaks were at least 30 ft on the far side from us...
other side got a new roof and got the cheap option of lighter tiles...
until the next high winds....it was like a piano being played and the tiles weren't up to the clattering.
Heavier tiles replaced what they had laid.
I was on edge esp when it was amber.

Hopefully this lot will pass through safely.
Rain not long started with rain forecast for next 14/15 hours....
I think I'll miss the dib dib tonight..

Crazy thing is, councils would gladly pay folk for forecasting their take on Met Off information, plus there was a nearby Met Office 'station' with almost live information.....

We've amber for wind. No further local alerts since mid afternoon when a flood alert was issued locally.
Going to the scout hut gave you some hints then.
Crisps, Quavers, chocolate biscuits...

Almost as big as a bowl. How big is this chocolate mug.

Last time I cleaned a roof, it got swept clean. With the harder to remove bits being done by hand. Yard looked a mess afterwards though.
Seen a handbuilt steam cleaner being used on one. More often used for cleaning yards and service areas.
And yours stood out with the moss next to the new roof!
They all seem to be using lighter tiles/slates nowadays. And not as many covering the same area either. Most noticeable when they "re-roof" an old house using the slates that were on it. Always patches showing.
Suppose I'm lucky living in a valley, it literally blows over most of the time.

Here's to little if no damage being done by Darragh.
Can't say I blame you.

Not certain who provides the weather alerts for council here. Took twelve hours of folk phoning to report flooding the other week before they did anything.
