What have you done today thread?

I know - nobody likes a smartass, but in the interests of accuracy: it’s bradycardia (too slow). Tachycardia = too fast. School day.

Errr ... In the interests of accuracy ... That was what I said ...

It's a spelling thing Hoss.

I certainly didn't spell it Tachycardia.

[Wossname]

No - you spelled it brachycardia. It’s bradycardia. Brachy- means shortened eg brachycephalic dogs (eg boxer/ bulldog/peke).

Don’t worry about it…

Pissed about in the Ardennes..

Went to Wally World for vittles.

Was lied to by the weather app on my phone. It told me it was 82 deg. Fuckers, it was 108.... slight difference.

Been testing my new tumbler cleaner doodad by throwing old hardware in it. One of the things I found in a box of Kaw parts was a steering stem bolt from a '76 Z900. The bolt was painted metallic blue.
I sold that bike in the UK 36 years ago....

Tumbler doodad cleaned all the paint off it perfectly, it also removed rust from other old hardware & parts, plus tarnish from some brass pipe fittings.

I know I did, because I have a blocked nose. Rhino-itis

But don't worry about it As you said, it's important to be a smart@rse

[gremlin]

Smartarse?

I think you'll find the medical term is immaculitis ringus.

[Mr. Dazzle]

The "itis" suffix would indicate inflammation, doesn't sound pleasant.

Quite fitting, given the massive arseholes around here these days.

This morning I did a 'mitzvah' according to my Jewish friend.

Filtering through the traffic, I see this Porsche Cayenne sporting a none-too-subtle Xclusive body kit. It had one mod I'd never seen before: a box of cakes on the roof.

I stopped next to it and told the fella driving he had a box of cakes on his roof. He did that smile and nod, not quite comprehending what I'd said for a few seconds, then the penny dropped. He then laughed, thanked me and jumped out to retrieve the office treats that nearly didn't make it.

Indeed, I am a 'mensch'.

Last night playing golf with the boy, i hit back to back Birdies. It's been a while since i've played golf more than once in 5 years, but in recent months, once a week isn't uncommon for us. This does mean the swing is somewhat coming together and i'm putting a fair chunk of shots pretty much where they're supposed to go. It's not all perfect, but it's pretty decent.

You don’t want to mess with an inflamed rhino. I know about these things. It comes with being a smartass.

If you're being chased but don't run fast enough, that could smart.

And being chaste won’t help you….

I scrub the pool cover occasionally, but still looks shit. Constant dust blowing over from Africa (80 miles away) mixing with any water on cover then baked on by beating sun.

I got fed up so got the jet wash out. I was getting soaked but it cooled me off

Discovered a new aspect of getting old...

Had a quick nap while sat on the growler this morning...

Met Dick Strawbridge at Colchester railway station - legend.....

Washed the new to me fridge freezer with milton. The place now smells like a swimming pool.

Painted some colours swatches to enable people who care about these to choose their preferred sludge colour. Little Greene paint to, only the finest NT approved sludge colours here. TBF some are nearer bile than sludge.

Fetched one of the pillar drills back to the shed for rebuilding and selling on.
