I think I have slightly OCD tendencies about certain things. I couldn't care less about cracks in the pavement, even numbers vs odd numbers, checking that the door is locked and so on (those 3 examples being things that DO upset some people I know...) but I would be upset if all of my photos had the date on them in yellow! (If I wanted to know the date that pictures were taken I could look at the info stored with each photo.)Fortunately, Mrs Boldonlad does not come on here, but, just in case she is watching over my shoulder, would you guys please stop talking about doing housework type things, it might give Mrs @BoldonLad ideas, and wreck my carefully planned leisure time
We managed our longest cycle ride so far, of 2021, a 20 mile circuit around the coast. Bright sunny day, 11C, but, with a cold and brisk wind blowing.

I'm not suggesting that anybody else should be bothered by YELLOW DATES!!!! but my eyes are drawn to the date rather than the rest of the photo!![]()
I tend to take pictures using my phone these days even though I have a really nice compact Canon camera which takes better pictures. I just don't want to carry both a phone and (even a small) camera about with me.Funny old worldI like having the date on, in fact, I have a much better camera, which will supposedly show date stamp, but, I cannot figure out how to do it, so, I don't use that camera, much to Mrs @BoldonLad's annoyance, because she views it as another discarded "toy"

If I needed to take better quality pictures for a specific purpose I would use the Canon.
Maybe to compensate for the lumps of metal they gave me.Why do the Tibia's appear thicker after?
Excellent! You will have to change your User Name![]()
I can change my avatar but I’m sure you are stuck with your user name.fixyknees![]()
If you want to change it, you can make a request to the moderators to do it for you. They will probably add something below for a while to avoid confusion... Something like "Formerly known as dickyknees".I can change my avatar but I’m sure you are stuck with your user name.
SUCCESS!Aargh!
I've been trying to fix an old Garmin Edge 200 GPS which has been donated to me. I did get it working and watched it boot up but when I screwed it all back together the damn thing packed up again.
The fiddly part that I had been struggling with was a small cable connecting the screen display. It is a multiway flat cable that turns out to be really tricky to plug in. It turned out that I hadn't quite got it in place properly and it had pulled out again.
I have watched a video on YouTube showing how someone else did this job and the connector on his GPS had a hinged flap on it which can be loosened, like every other similar connector that I have encountered before. This one doesn't seem to have the flap though. Mind you - I'm not 100% sure that it is the case because my eyesight even with reading glasses and a magnifying glass is no longer up to this kind of work!
I had better leave it until tomorrow afternoon. I can try doing the job in daylight and I will not be so tired. If I carry on now I'll end up damaging something and have to scrap the device...
So much for an earlier night... I'm outta here!![]()
It's not that unusual... Hebden Bridge, 23rd March 2013!
I did my Summer MLTB training up at Blake Dean in March 1994, knee deep, and more, in snow.
