And smoking a pipe, natch.

Who doesn't enjoy a ready-rubbed shag in the garage on a Saturday, eh?

Bought one of these:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Glocusent-Knit ... hdGY&psc=1

It's a neck light and it's rather good for fiddly, detail jobs and eg reading when someone else wants the room not too bright for watching TV and I want to read a book in my own little world of light

Has the backlight on your kindle broke?

I just bought a NOCO battery booster. If it's as good as the one the recovery chap had (if and when needed), I'll be happy. OTOH I may have just bought an expensive torch/phone charger.
.

Got one, it's sat in the boot unloved and unused for 2 years, coming once a year to top of its charge

Me too.
You only need it when you need it, and if you need it then you'll be glad you have one.

Well, there y'go, it didn't take 2 years for mine to get used and I'm glad I have one.

(The car valet man was here this a.m. and was cleaning the shopping trolley. Doors open, windows up and down etc etc. Came to close the windows, got 3 closed before the 12v battery gave up. 'No worrits' sez I. Got the Noco out of the house (no point keeping it in the boot - you can't get in there when the batts flatt)....clip, clip, press....we have power. Stuck the car battery on charge and it's now back to 14.4v.

The irritating thing is the car monitors the power battery but not the 12v so the first time I pressed the 'start' button the car dash lights up etc...but, because the power battery is fine it didn't fire up the engine to charge the 12v one. Doh. I suppose I could have turn the interior temperature setting up to max but, as it was on the drive I just hooked up the charger).

We've just got our new TV delivered. The previous was a Samsung non 4k type, we've had it since before the boy was born, so 15+ years. It died on Sunday morning. So Mrs Weeksy bought a new Samsung, bit bigger this time, 43" instead of 40".

Last few days we've had what seems to be about a 28" one we've been using that was a bedroom spare. it's TINY !

A small collection of old aircraft mechanic books/manuals. Some are from the now defunct Northrop school & some are from the Govt (CAM 18 etc). Already had the third edition of the Northrop books (1960s), now I also have the first (1940s) & second (1950s).

[ZRX61]

First of the six books showed up. This one looks like it was put on a bookshelf 74 years ago & forgotten about. The white stain on the cover wiped off with a damp cloth.

[ZRX61]

2nd one showed up. This is about 5/16in thick, I have a newer FAA version & that one is 1 3/4in thick...

1943 CAM 18. This is the book that predates the AC 43-13 (for you aviation wallahs)

[ZRX61]

Today's arrival, 1948 First Edition.



This pair showed up last month (1939 & 1940)



Well pleased

This morning I log onto Ebay to check progress. Under the "recommended for you" category was the DSM-5

[ZRX61]

Shift forks in the ZRX & ZX series of engines are a weak point. ZRX11 & ZX11 use the same three parts. They're $90 each. I just scored a NOS set, still in the Kaw bags, for $40

Ah, you're researching self medication?

There's probably an entire chapter on aircraft mechanics.
