I'm at the end of a very long, hot and busy Saturday. Cheers. |

Winning on a Sunday morning while waiting for that big light to appear. Coffee time. Cheers. |

After a few random Eddies we seem to have settled in... Summertime! ... Even if this all enveloping cloudy stuff is trying to hide the embarrassment! See new freedom: Mageia Linux Take a look for yourself: Linux Format The Future is what We all make IT (GPLv3) |

I was hoping to bottle a brew up this morning, but sadly the weather didn't cooperate so it's far too warm in here to do that today. Hopefully I'll have better luck tomorrow morning. Anyhow it must be time for another coffee before I think about finishing the yard off before this last day of heat sets in (29C is today's expectation). Cheers. |

After a few brews and ignoring the alcohol effects... We're sure enjoying some surreal warm mild weather! Good excuse for an early BBQ! See new freedom: Mageia Linux Take a look for yourself: Linux Format The Future is what We all make IT (GPLv3) |

I got my yard done while the cool easterly and storms clouds built up so we only reached a very muggy 26C (felt like 25C) here today, but as I enjoy a few ice cold ginger beers those storm clouds are going the wrong way (though that are blocking out the heat). Cheers. |

In the Summertime... It is very summer-like! Duh?... Meanwhile... My unorthodoxy has exceeded expectations... The new Shenzhen supplied direct drive DC motor fan contraption is now installed and works sweet and smooth and quiet. A fantastic improvement. If anything, the properly aerodynamic blades on the new fan are almost too effective compared to the more usual 'old school' bent bits of sheet metal. Phew, glad that one works. Two old whirry clunkers can now be done away with! Quick escape before anyone notices!!

Properly designed and manufactured fans are so much better than those bent bits of tin that too many people use. Win on noise, efficiency (volume of air/per unit of power). Well done Martin. Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |

Looks like a window shopping expedition is to be done. I was surfing YouTube and found how to make Foodsaver vacuum seal bags using ordinary Ziplock freezer bags. The bag hack is stupid simple. The factory bag rolls that come with the machine are expensive to keep buying. Now is time to do my homework on which vacuum sealer and price point I want to pay before taking the plunge. ![]() ![]() |

I think that I over did it over the hot weekend changing 6 wheels around and getting the yard done as I feel absolutely buggered this morning, but the yard does look good. Cheers. |

I just wash and reuse the take-away tubs from when I'm too busy or too hungry to pause to cook! Yum!! See new freedom: Mageia Linux Take a look for yourself: Linux Format The Future is what We all make IT (GPLv3) |

Yes those plastic containers certainly do get quite a bit of reuse here before they hit the recycle bin. Well doing a take 2 today worked as I feel a lot better now on this breezy, cool and mostly overcast day, though the solar panels have still put in a 38kw/hr day so far, and I may even go out to level out a couple of new spots for my tyre stacks as the potatoes in the current stacks should be ready to harvest and a new set of seed potatoes are ready to go. Cheers. |

Gently into Monday with the first operatives of the day rolling up sometime-ish late morning. Good to enjoy an extra brew or two and to properly have a chance to read all the documentation beforehand for a change!

I scooped out each of the top tyres on both potato stacks and with half a wheelbarrow load of fresh compost and a good few hand fulls of dynamic lifter mixed all together I got a 2 tyre stack ready to get going again tomorrow. By then the worms should've dropped down in the original stacks to remove another tyre off each while collecting potatoes (I hope) and get a 2nd stack started. Anyhow I hope to have things inside cooled down enough to finally bottle that beer brew that I should've done this morning tomorrow morning before doing anything else so I better get to bed. Cheers. |
