Re: What have you done today thread?
I have a cunning plan...
I'm going to console myself with the ice cream & then after a nap I shall go back to the store for the creamer AND replacement ice cream.

Re: What have you done today thread?
Slight change of plans.
Got the creamer & then hit up the taco truck for $20 in tacos on the way home
3 chicken
3 beef
4 pork
Then the E-4 Doomsday Bird came back for some more circuits & bumps..

Re: What have you done today thread?
Did my good deed for the day.
Next doors car hadn’t moved for a couple of weeks and when he tried yesterday morning one of the rear wheels was locked solid.
So I went out this morning and told him to put the car into reverse and ride the clutch till it was straining to move while I belted the wheel with a big hammer. (Old banger so damage didn’t matter)
3 or 4 good whacks and it was away.
My neighbour knows nothing about cars, diy, gardening anything. His wife does most of it

I'm dreading having to go back into the office, I've not had any furlough but have got very comfortable working from home full time.

Serviced the Aga. Successfully. I lit it last Sept as usual, and said to Mrs W 2 days ago that it was doing really well, stable, up to temp, no popping. Next day....out. It must have been listening. Took the burner apart, cleaned it up, reassembled, lit. All's as it should be this morning, quiet, temp on the line. Yay.

Re: What have you done today thread?
Just had a tooth extracted. Had the choice of root canal through the existing crown or extraction. Having gone the root canal through a crown before, and it still giving me gyp, I went for the medieval option.
30 minutes of tugging, levering and eventually drilling got the bugger out.
Just having a luke-warm coffee and waiting for the lidocaine to wear off and the fun to begin....

Re: What have you done today thread?
We had an oil Rayburn that did hw and ch...as well as cooking. It got replaced with an external boiler shortly after we moved in, and the man said i couldbt reconnect it for cooking, so i naturally did. We didnt use it much...though it was great when we did so we sold it. I miss it a bit...but the 1300litre tank lasts a lot longer now...even tho swmbo is nesch.Wossname wrote: ↑Wed Feb 24, 2021 9:46 am Serviced the Aga. Successfully.

Just had my first dose if the AZ vaccine at my local mass vaccination centre in Portsmouth ..
Very slick operation with minimal queuing and staff that knew what they were doing.
Managed to book it through the NHS website despite being too young and having no medical conditions. So if you are 60/65 in good health and want to get it done, check it out ( just ignore the eligibility paragraph and go straight to the booking link ) ..

Re: What have you done today thread?
Don't even joke. Wisdom tooth extraction last year was bloody awful. I suspect it may be that which was the root (pun intended) cause, as I recall a huge wad of blood and shit breaking off the night I returned home. Suspect it was the clot and that, in turn, lead to the infection. Everything crossed this goes ok as I really do not want that agony all over again.

Re: What have you done today thread?
Getting three trees trimmed a bit & having one removed. They showed up with EIGHT guys. They'd removed the one tree before I even knew they were here.
These fuckers are quick, done & dusted in an hour. They have 5 other jobs scheduled today... so if they're all $500 jobs that's $3k for the day. but the last two jobs are large tree removal & that usually runs about $1k.
