Tea?

This 'Short' from the Toob, apart from the bloop...

See how it 'builds' layer by layer...

Fish? Were the trawlers coming into the fading holiday resort pier and getting awfy fresh fish and clams....
fish lorry would turn up mon - fri..
Just as well I was good at gutting and preparing,
a childhood of fishing off the docks and later shores until the Clyde fish stocks literally died...
I lived on cod as a yunc until I got married....
it was my get away....
Veg?
find most of it grown for looks and quantity now

and some is pretty tasteless,
supermarket displays show that now,
wonky veg is a way of getting rid of the misshapen stuff,
we use a greengrocer(?) whose veg looks and tastes good..
probably still coming from mass producers, their carrots though make a damn good pot of loup de loup..

I have found (I hope) a leak in the piping under the sink. I dried everything off last night and noticed a drip on the outside tap pipe connection, so I switched that off. I dried everything, and it has stayed dry since. Fingers crossed.

I know it's layer on layer, just wondering how they get something to print in mid-air with no support.

You've ate the goldfish!!
Were you also the "buyer", along with being the cleaner. I'd a bit further than yerssen to get to the sea. Nearby trout farm where we'd cast over the brook, public footpath, hoping we'd catch something before being caught.
Grow gills as a byproduct of eating so much fish...

What you don't see, or didn't until "wonky veg" became fashionable, were the "mis-shapes and less than perfect looking ones. Who'd buy spuds these days if you only got two or three in a 1lb bag? The graders on the machines keep the oversized ones away from the shelves. It were two bad summers that saw the introduction/creation of the wonky veg market. Them or very little else. Or go down the organic road and pay for veg that often had the dirt put back on after being checked.
And you paid for that dirt, included in the weight.
Tomatoes were one thing we got by the box, for nowt on holiday. A neighbour worked at one of the largest greenhouse growing operation in europe. He'd often bring ones that were the size of turnips up. Completely tasteless, but they looked good.
Grown all year round, as with most these days. No waiting until they're in season anymore.
This "damn good pot of loup de loup", do you eat it upside down?

Have you no water now then, or have you fixed the problem this morning.

Water is working, just that drip when offshoot to outside tap is opened, now closed.

Not a fan of trout now or farmed salmon..
you can even choose their flesh colour by the pellet you feed them with.. allegedly.

right..
this is what I use to sit over the speaker grid of radio to amplify and 'push' the sound towards me, it works well.
Almost 1 3/4 inches high in the middle..
printed as shown...

what it looks like underneath

felt on flat side to save any scratching of radio case.

Prints as is..

Bunny prints

Mrs M say right hand looks whiter, I think left BUT maybe the tint on my gregorys are the reason for this.

Left is shiny white but the right is more a matt finish.
Two different preparation programs..
Right hand was much faster to print and is 2 gm lighter..
but the left is the one that has a 3 strand wall , right is 2 strand...

Water, very important ingredient in cuppa's.
Leak bad enough for a plumber to be needed? Maybe a result of the recent cold nights.

This one wasn't on the same scale as modern fish farms. Used to stock a pond that he charged for entry to, and a fishing club had competitions there. The pond were an old mill pond for the waterwheels a wee while ago.
Saw a program on't telly about modern salmon farms, where that piece were mentioned. But they didn't do it there...

What radio is used on?

I find myself in agreement with Mrs Mhor. May be the matt finish, I don't know.

 

[classic33]

Owdo out there
Well another dry day, with sunshine! Third in a row now, soon be cries for hosepipe ban if it carries on like this.

 

[Bobby Mhor]

Afternoon all
Busy morning..
Day off so away a wee trip out...

Forgot to say took a wee trip over to a well-kent place yesterday lunchtime..

Ole Vlad wasn't in..
The thought of the Bob mob appearing maybe he did a runner
Passed through Waterloo on the way home..

Another wee trip today to enjoy our day off..
GC coffee and sugar rush then a drive up the Bonnie, Bonnie Banks then right and back to Stirling then home..
Just as well Mrs M likes to drive...

The Icom HF one...
they seem to be shrinking in size with each new variation,
not yer big TX with knobs, sliders and buttons to press.
All are basically menu-driven now.
I have a separate control computer program, which saves a lot of hassle in some radio uses. An SD card keeps settings for various program set-ups.

Dry but a bit chillier feeling today, think overnight temps to fall around freezing..
wonder if there is a wee thing I could put in cold frame wee greenhouse thing to keep the chill off...
Off to look...need to battery operated...
never took the option of outside power socket...

You being Grandpa sat again!

And no visa required either.
You take yer camera to the local security highlights?
Maybe Ole Vlad had prior warning you were on yer way. He hunkered down in his bunker you mean.
Did you run into ABBA on the trip back?

Yer having too much time off of late, you realise that.
GC coffee getting dearer up there. Any more cake eaten with yer GC coffee, for the sugar rush.
Nothing strange seen in the water, or the skies!
She'll wear the car out at the rate the pair of yer are going. And it won't be close to home either. Mark my words...

That seems to be the same for anything you replace these days. Even yer moneys getting smaller with each new set brought out.
You know that paper stuff, that's been replaced by plastic stuff.
User being controlled, not the user in full control...
Even those SD cards have got smaller over the years. Which do you prefer, the computer based radio or a radio set?

They're saying there's snow on the way! A possible repeat of 1994 on the way.
Small kerosene heater made from a camping stove. A single wick supplying the heat.
Other than that, pre LED, I'd have said a battery powered lightbulb(s).

Sun, Mon are our days off.....just now...
bit misty almost everywhere yesterday....
but a fair trip out...
Today was a trip on all points of the compass...
we like exploring

I reckon (hope) no great frost events left..
famous last words, eh?
Where it is situated a fair breeze blows up between the buildings...
not handy..

For listening only, SDR is best by far..
SDRplay box type plus an antenna of course but coverage and sensitivity as good as any specialist receiver and all controlled on yer computer screen....
You can get sdr TX...wouldn't mind experimenting but mollah, moolah....

FYI SDRplays cover from 100khz - 2,000 Mhz..
amazing, all you need is resonant antennas.
I have a Youloop on mine and will do airband, marine as well as HF...
Yon paper money is slippy as hell..

You mean you know what days you can go a wandering. That's handy...
Were misty here from late Saturday night 'til this morning. Never fully cleared.
You enjoy yer trip out. All points of the compass. You weren't doing the navigating by any chance.

Supposed to get colder midweek onwards. But that's what those who forecast the weather are saying.
Pays yer money and takes yer choice...
If between buildings there'll be some shelter at least. Can you put a temporary windbreak in?

You sound as though you do more listening than talking. And it's steered your choices.
Would you have the room for a physical radio setup in "Your Room". Without losing anything else you've set up.
Moolah requirement is why the newer notes are getting slippier. Easier separate you from it.
Airband, will you be listening in on the exercise going on up your end of this island, from the middle of this month.

You handle much paper money these days then.

 

[Bobby Mhor]

Morning
dipped just below 0c an hour ago..
HOT required...

I've been carrying the 2m handheld lately but nothing heard to be honest...
everybody down chasing DX on HF due to high sunspot thingy (about to peak)
I do listen a lot, background noises as well,
I avoid other amateurs though, we are a very banal, boring bunch....
I could easily fit another transceiver on the desk.

I keep track of my side projects....
I got an invite to a 'research group' the other day of a group developing a new mode to use on the radio but I'm not techy enough, I could test and use. Coding? i know nothing, oldest Mhor is a whiz at that game though.

Glad the lids were left down last night as freezy weezy earlier...
tea and granola await....
put them up a wee bit when the sun swings round the yard arm later.
I was going to do a little light pruning but that's off the table.
Plant some seeds before Storm Toodles hit the area...

Somebody gave me some wacky colour sunflower seeds so I must remember and label everything

Owdo
Think that whilst it got close to freezing, it never actually reached it, in these parts at least.
That hot cuppa do the trick?

Be fun trying to explain carrying that if you're ever stopped. I'd trouble convincing folk it were a mobile phone and not a radio I were carrying.
Thought the sunspot/solar activity were due to peak during June-July this year.
You don't like talking to folk like yerself? Isn't that one reason for having the radio, so you can talk to others in different parts...
Just the lack of sufficient moolah holding you back from pressing that "Buy" button.

I'd have taken the offer up, if in your shoes. Half the time the "research" is nothing but long term experience they're after. Some even pay you!
Coding, know nowt about it myssen. Could you get the oldest to give you lessons on the subject. Be a bit like going back to school, but without the notes excusing you.

Well, that's it. You'll be knee deep in snow before the weekend. They're right so far...
Tea and granola consumed, and you fuelled for the start of the day...
Why's the table need pruning?
Has she landed yet, stopping all work in its tracks.

Oh ay, wacky sunflowers!
So long as you can read your own writing when it faded later on.
Enjoy yerssen...

Older Mhor already teaches...
I'm too old to learn anything new..
except new ales and cider to evaluate..

I tried to download the program but won't fully download...
so will contact the fella tomorrow at some point..
all voluntary, I'm happy with that.

Two trays planted, one small with some weird seeds I got given (sunflowers) and Ms Toodle's 4 pots..
No problem, just sat her down and explained and handed her a seed at a time and never had to repeat anything then she proceeded to to wreck the place.

Just saw an advert on't telly for 'naked and afraid'...
what is the point and entertainment in that?
Bring them to the west coast of Jockland mid-summer to autumn and try that one...
