No risking going out....
I'll stay at home and annoy the wee one.....:cuppa:

But you've got longer legs than her, and it's your house so you should know all the shortcuts.

When you put it like that, you make it easier understand.
Making the neighbours happy with you if you did it...
Is it just a simple case of switching yer antennae to one that could handle the power output if you were to up the power?
You've me wondering how much power one near me is using with either his "dish" or vertical mast(Which is taller than his house) when he's on the air.
No resitting the exam to make sure your still upto date, or giving you the chance to move up a grade.

So no listening into the gossip about their cooking secrets.
Maybe yer listening at the wrong times.

They left you all by yourself, again. Maybe they don't like your singing.

I could put up anything if I wanted, a beam array and tower could prove troublesome, planning permission etc..
As soon as you put stuff outside, everybody thinks you are interfering with their telly, and all sorts of things..
Last house nobody knew about set-up, a few knew I occasionally put a 5 ele yagi (portable) to work distant VHF but not HF, 66ft dipole started in the apex of the loft and went out and down the back of downpipes and plastic covered wire the same colour of the downpipes (white), it had been up since '81 with a change of wire latterly.
I'm happy what I do..

I'm at the top...no further to go.
Vertical of that size? HF, dish depends on size, bigger ones do moonbounce and stuff like that, others do microwave frequencies, find the callsign and QRZ.com it....you'll find a wee bio most likely...There is a search box, read it carefully
15 mins on and no contacts :rolleyes:
Usually grab an early bird or two..
Oh well, Toodles Jnr about to appear..
2 mm of rain so far and lowest temp 2.9 or something

The oats and coffee call.

Changed through the night here...
We'd snow the few hours either side of midnight, but gone this morning. The heavy snowfall "predicted" was about 1/2 an inch. We get the 3 metres of snow they promised the other week, we're in deep doodah at this rate.
Don't blame you.
Have a cuppa, or two, and watch as she tires herself out running round...

Well with all the mobile masts that are popping up, anywhere, could you not say it's one of those.
Fair size loft, to fit half of that in then. You leave it behind or bring it with you?
Keeps you busy as well. Especially yer Captains Log!

Top of the heap, eh!
Only ever seen the dish pointing in the NE/E direction. The tower is an addition from last year. Over half the back garden taken up at ground level with both.
Read it carefully! Is it that dangerous.
Nobody wanting to speak to anyone this morning?
Maybe you weren't early enough. Attention placed elsewhere, with thoughts of the porridge snatcher trying again...

Were they calling you though.

I'll take a look, see if he shows up on it.
Yer contacts for so far today. Japan does stand out, all on it's lonesome.
Mysterious East...
Porridge just for you, or were it shared with the youngest. Thought you said that the cob would last two days...
How'd you do compared to last time. Silver for talking, wonder how that'll go down when word gets out.
You printing your own certificate?

Of course, I might frame it....
Bottom right but it's a regular 'spot', I'd have no spare time if I worked all of them....
I'd eaten before the wee yin appeared...
Much better...
You do print your own.....

Missed that one, blue stands out a wee bit more.
That good, yer own Silver Globe Award.
Golden Globe next year...
Just put a "Closed" sign on yer room door. "Do Not Disturb" doesn't seem to work these days.
Did she know you'd finished or were you getting that look saying "Porridge, now!".
Saves them money, and you waiting for it in the post.

You managed to stop yet.
Were she paying?
Health appetite, nothing more.
Granny backs her up in case you say "No". She'll get used to soon enough.
Well earned rest, now you've finished with doors and drawers.
Sounds like one of those weeks, hump day yesterday as well. Downhill to the weekend...
Big River place the only place you buy it from?
Darker or lighter in colour.
Doing yer "Danny Boy" impersonation...
There might have been food on offer.
You'll have enjoyed yerself, won't you...
US of A will be silly prices for a while I think, can't explain Belgium though.

Foggy first thing then the rain came. Now trying to snow...
Ours were taken yesterday.
Good for you...
We'd an attempt to rain but it fell short..
Bit breezy earlier...

The marble PLA is very small black fleck through it.
Usually it'll pop down in price but hopefully the other will be back in stock soon...
I have got a couple of things to look and see if any use to me (radio stuff)..
Seems to be for this brand...
I tried some of the chinese websites, the 'maker' website shop prices are a bit hefty with postage....
Dutch place sells it too but I'm not bothered but like the finish on anything I've made with it (once I found the settings again :laugh: )
Busy couple of days ahead....

Turned to snow here, with a NE wind. Can't blame yourself this time.
Eased for now, likely to be gone by the morning though.

How does it look when used to print something, does it still looks a bit like marble?
You don't do enough printing to bulk buy? Getting a possible slight discount.
They're sold out of other colours! That's poor stock control...
You ever colour code stuff yer printing. So you know which one to pick up when needed.
Ooh, what's tha got planned or are you still perusing possible projects...
Would the "makers" website be about 15% more expensive than anywhere else.
Pass the Dutchie then, despite you liking the finish on it.
Where'd you hide the settings?
But it's the weekend, time to wind down and relax before it all starts again come Monday...
