[Mike Ayling]

What !!! You still use tape cassettes ??

No, talking about compact discs

 

[Mike Ayling]

so do I ! have cd player in car ( Merc E class , last of the manual gearbox version) with 9 CD player in dash. Still love CDs and also have lots of LPs which I play from time to time . I believe the sound is better in some respects Old school is best !!

Current wheels is 2011 Toyota Camry with slot for CDs in dash.
Previously a mid nineties Ford Fairlane GHIA with a six stacker in the boot.

I still have mine and play them occasionally too.

I wasn’t in any rush to get up as I could hear the rain. An overcast and showery day for us.

Good morning all.
It's dark, it's raining and due to continue for most of the day.
I'm going to 'phone round a few roofers who do guttering repairs, it could be that the guttering just needs cleaning out, but my days of going up ladders onto the roof are finished.
Sainsbury's are delivering the weekly goodies this morning between 9.30 and 10.30 then I'll be out with the dog 🐕
I might have to take refuge in the Mitre at some point on the way home to get out of the rain.

I have a big box full of cd's, but only the car has a cd player.
Im thinking of buying a bluetooth cd player for indoors so I can play them.

We aren’t half getting a lot of earthquakes up here at the moment. Two quite big ones with people reporting things moving.

Good morning folks, walking group this morning followed by a social natter in the pub. The dehumidifier has been indispensable during the rainy spell, just set and forget, it's a cheapie Screwfix " Blyss " model but does a sterling job of drying the laundry.

Morning folks off to the docs in a while to get a health check on my peepers, then i shall browse the charity shop dvds and do my beach stroll/seaweed gathering. Soggy forecast so sofa lounging is likely

 

[welsh dragon]

Cooooeeee. 12 deg here.

I have a CD player in my car and I use it all the time. 😆

Stay safe peeps

Morning.
Was dry but then just had some rain. Think forecast Ok for later and tomorrow looking decent so ride then is plan.
As for cds, yeah got a ton of them which are never played these days. No modern players in cars etc support them anymore it seems.
Gone of the way of VHS.

In other news I put a few mole traps in yesterday so I'll see what success I've had in a bit. Not great as I dont want to kill wildlife but not much alternative.

 

[ebikeerwidnes]
