My bathroom light bulb has just gone pop

The end of an era, the final remaining incadesant bulb in this flat has gone to the great lamp post in the sky...

Were you in the bath when it went?

No I was cleaning my teeth.

Sod's law I found a photo of the car with a better viewpoint of the side irons and their supports. Had to modify the template as a result, but I think I've got that sorted now.

Time for a and a slice of toast.

Anyways, bed for me.

Nunnight one and all xxx

Had a nice 12 miles in the end and the legs are starting to get use to fixed gear again

In the first mile on main route out of town and up to local industrial area i overtook three ninja cyclist's all in black and with no lights on the way to work

I've just managed to prevent DPD escaping with my beer. I waited out on the street and flagged him down as he was about to drive off. When I told him that I'd come down because the last time he'd failed to make a delivery, he immediately assured me that he wasn't Kevin. Kevin apparently has covid and this guy, who I'll call Not Kevin, was logged in as Kevin, came from SW and was learning the route. Curiously, he displayed the same ability to non-deliver as Kevin.....

It shows a consistency in their training .

That's a big bright full moon over to the west! Sort of NWN. The local goldfinch was very vocal this morning. Perhaps the mild weather has tricked him into thinking its spring.

The rest of the household has woken. Bye, bye peace and quiet

What's the third car?

It depends on which order they are listed .
Ferrari F40
Jaguar XJR8
McLaren MP4 10 I think going from memory .
All 3 are now up and running and chased by a kitten .

I've got another DPD delivery coming later this morning. This time it's Evon, who looks very much like Kevin and Non Kevin in the photo their app shows me. If it's Non Kevin, I know he knows where I am now so I won't bother ambushing him. If not, then he'll either do his Evon calling routine or give to someone else to deliver on Monday.

I'll get a pic to you. Had been thinking about a thread, because I think I'm going to need plenty of advice along the way. I haven't built a model for well over 30 years, never mind a scratch-built one...

The theory and the design work is the easy bit for me, but it's the making side of things where I have little or no experience.

Is the chassis built like a ladder ?
Back in pre 70's days kids progressed from making plastic kits on to balsa kits or plywood models depending if they flew or floated. Some more experienced kids might then progress on to buying plans and building up a model from those .
Seeing just a set of plans at first was very daunting but would soon take shape .
A lot of the model would be made in sections directly over the plan using pins to hold the pieces which were placed on a flat board with either wax or plastic film to prevent the parts from sticking to the plans .

Are you the Tick Durpin on your street ?

 

[Illaveago]

No I was cleaning my teeth.

I hope that you didn't thrust the brush up between you teeth and your top lip ?
It hurts !
