What have you done today thread?

[Count Steer]

been doing a bit of battery gynecology today.
only difference between this and real gyne is the battery weighs 20+kgs, once you take it out you have to put a fresh one back in, and an obgyn can open the hole a fair bit!

Your next task is to wallpaper the hallway...


...through the letterbox.

Seriously though, don't they ever consider that batteries quite often (relatively) need to be replaced when they design these things?

just painted it!

as for poor design, the original merc has a larger bonnet space to drop the battery in through. this thing has a letterbox bonnet, which makes something as simple as topping up the washer fluid a major challenge!
Every year Mr MOT gives her an advisory for insecure battery, with the caveat that impossible to fall out though.

What's the vehicle? Not sure what a letterbox bonnet is!

Back on the first evening i met Mrs Weeksy, she was brought to me by Nicki, who is of course @Docca 's wife now.

On that meeting, i made a chocolate cake.... the rest as they say is history.

With today being Valentines and us not doing presents..

Today, took the girlfriends TT for MOT, which unsurprisingly it passed after only 560 miles in the last year. Walked 1 1/2 miles to collect it.
Then, I washed my car and her Mini, which actually helped my back.
The gave the TT a good run.
Then drank wine in the garden.
Them finished up with a lovely Indian, nan, poppadums etc.
Happy Valentine’s Day all.

In a truly Valentine's Day romantic stylee I'd booked the car valet to come and do her car (and mine ), then I went shopping for ingredients so that I could cook her one of my favourite meals*. Cooked and ate it.

* it involves salmon, new taters, cherry toms, green beans, olives and anchovies. (And takes 10 mins a hot oven provided you've pre-cooked the spuds and beans ).

It's err a week late,but I finally took early retirement a week ago today.
Today I had to wait in until 3PM for Parcelfarce to deliver my new 3 man tent.I concluded that my trusty Vango 2 man tent was alright for weekend trips,but for longer tours it gets a bit clostrophobic with all the gear in there.
I'll spend a hour or so tomorrow working out how to put up the new tent..

The day I got the elbow at 54 from McAfee with big pay off was the day I retired.

Was an awesome day

Nice one. I'm sure you'll look back in a few years time and reckon it was the best decision you ever made. Your health to enjoy.

Took baby D sledging at the real snow indoor ski slope here in MK.

Wore my old Snowboard trousers to do it. Found a lift pass and trail map from Breckenridge 2009 in the pockets.

Baby D wants to learn to Ski now that she's seen it. Fine with me

Bought 7.5 metres of 50 x 25mm RHS steel. Now I've got to start cutting it up and drilling holes in it.

PS Today I scanned the barcodes on 30kg of books and packaged half of them up to sell to WeBuyBooks. Works out at about £2 per kg. The other 15kg is going to Oxfam.

Nah, nothing so exciting. Just making the end frames for a computer desk. I know some welders and they will weld it all up for me for a tenner or so. Desk top will be made from birch ply and will be 1.2m x 0.6m. It's to fit in a specific space and the cost of buying one is prohibitive. Should cost about £100 all in for materials.
