The Retirement Thread

[numbnuts]

Re-ordered my printer, if it's the same driver he'll think it must be my lucky week

A morning of tinkering in my workshop.
I turned up a distance spacer for the Bantam speedo drive, welded up an extension lever for my hydraulic press and sorted out some air couplings for my compressor.
Also had a quick sweep around and tidy up - all spick and span now.

Good morning. It's the most glorious day in Lancashire. Clear skies, brilliant sunshine and a little warmth in the air. There was a sharp frost though.

Enjoying today so far. A good exercise routine and then down to the gym for a spin class. It was intense, plenty of emphasis on endurance which is what I need. Some spin classes are beat you up, aerobics on a bike, but this instructor has a nice approach which offers much more.

Cards group this afternoon.

Picked up the new telly yesterday. The picture quality is outstanding when played through an app. I can't find the menu for setting up channels through the aerial, we need this for Mrs P's recording. I'll call the shop shortly. I often think the switch from paper manuals, or at least a quick setup guide, is a backwards one for the consumer.

Usually go into full menu settings.

Yep, quite agree. Trouble is I can't find the full menu settings. I switched on a few minutes ago and there was a message saying more channels were available and choose auto-tune. I've now got everything I expected and more.

The trouble is I still can't find the Full Menu Settings. It's important to know. I need to go to cards now so I'll call the shop later.

I've discovered Netflix want an extra £7/month for 4k and UHD. I hadn't expected that. The difference though is too hard to turn down. I tend to watch more Netflix than terrestrial these days.

I took the car for a little run and had another walk. It only just started. I really need to try and use it once a week at least.

CTEK trickle charger!

CTEK trickle charger!

We have a trickle charger for the ride on lawnmower. They are really good. I recommend them.

Muppets on the motorway in the fog with no lights. Loons.

Letts driving school teaching someone to drive locally. Guess what.. Foggy.. No lights on...
If people are taught like this it's no wonder the standards are so low! 😢

 

[PeteXXX]

Foggy ride around Pitsford Reservoir this afternoon. I did have my lights on in case any joggers or doggers came looming out of the mist..

 

[PaulSB]

Still beautifully clear here. It's light enough outside to read a book. A bit friggin' cold to sit outside reading a book but......

This afternoon's big news is we have found the General Settings on the TV!! Next task is to install the sound bar.............I'm going to make a pot of tea first.........

 

[Drago]

Slight headache.

 

[numbnuts]

I've just had one of my chilli meals it was lovely, my Ex really did miss out when she divorced me
and the guy she went off with is dead and I'm still going.

 

[PeteXXX]

My alarm is set for 02:50 for the next two days 😢

 

[Mo1959]

Watching Bank of Dave on Netflix. Quite enjoyable.

 

[Drago]

Chicken for tea.
