Last we had power cuts, power went off, 2 minutes later came back on, off again in under a second, then on again a minute, off again in under a second, then 2 minutes came back on of good, all the computer stuff survived apart from the CCTV cameras, the POA switch didn't like it so threw a wobbly, when I reset this morning 2 of the cameras decided they wanted the same IP address so on each refresh we got a different image. As you can only access them via IE took me ages to resolve as I had to find a windows machine.

Would sales decline if they showed how simple these things are to fix I wonder.

Flapjack is now baked, and currently cooling on the Balcony. First impressions are that German Zuckerrübe doesn't have the sticky factor of Golden Syrup.

Updates will follow.

I was wrong. Vorsprung durch Technik apples to German flapjack ingredients.

They're like bricks. Chewable, but you can hardly get a knife through them.

Shorter baking time next go methinks.

Still, it kept the kids quiet for a few minutes...

I'm still of the opinion one major reason Bosch and co are pushing E-bikes is necause they're harder to fix, so they get to charge after sales.

Beautiful Daughter reports there is a spider present in the general area of the sofa.

We are happy to report the spider has moved further from the sofa towards the left hand power socket and the Table Leg In The Corner.

Pushing an E-Bike? 🤔

Wouldn't they charge it before I bought it?

Flat tyres and a flat battery!

They're heavier than normal bikes as well.

Indeed. Elder Son says it took a few weeks before he could lift one onto the repair stand without help.

I suggested he fit a motor to help.

Is it different in different states or within your 3 timezones, I didn't think our offices in Florida changed for another 3 weeks.

Florida panhandle is in the Central Time Zone, as am I, but the rest is on Eastern Time. There is a bil for Florida to be on DST year round, but all states observing Daylight Savings Time change on November 3. Some States, like Arizona and Hawaii dont use DST at all, nor do the Pacific Territories/Little Islands/Trust Territories/Colonies or whatever they are. Many of which are such because they have a lot of bird poop on them, and we claimed many islands for the guano.

A crappy reason to lay claim to them.

Sunday lunch at Mackie Mayor in NQ Manchester, bit expensive, but nice. Walked round the 'Monsters of Manchester' inflatables (located throughout the city) and watched the 'Bones Parade' which was rather good.

A parent had one on the family ride we did this morning and I asked the question re weight and he let me lift his eMTB - it must have been about 22kg by my estimation. At the start of the ride, his readout gave a range of 40 miles. By the time we got back, it said 3. We did 20.5 off-road miles.

My first experience was last weekend when I did 33 miles & came back with 4 out of 5 bars maybe they used the assistance more

I think they charge you when you buy it.

That could be where they're going wrong. Charging the rider and not the bike. Must be a shocking experience though.
