Re: What have you done today thread?
This happened to my camera mount today... after I'd just ridden 99 miles & was about to depart on the ride home. I just barely touched it to turn it on & it came away in my hand.
Camera case will be getting a safety wire lanyard doodad that will attach to a bracket that mounts to one of the screen screws. Case will be getting safety wire holes drilled in it.
So I guess I had a better day than this bloke..
There was a 4th cop car hidden by traffic...

Figured out why the telly only had a few working channels.

"My dear Doctor, they're all true."
"Even the lies?"

Fortunately the dish is in a more sheltered spot.
(Oh yeah, the wind...neighbours recycle bins blew over, the night was a symphony of rolling cans, interrupted by a v long automated message on the house phone from UK Power Networks at 2am to tell me a power cut had been reported for this postcode. By which time the power was back on. Oven clock was flashing so power had been off at some point. Switched my mobile on this morning...2 SMS messages telling me the same thing).

Re: What have you done today thread?
Storm Isha has shifted a few roof tiles on the South Aisle of my 13th C church roof. We are on The Hill, highest point in the local area, so while flooding may not be an issues, roof leaks are! Got to get the roofer out asap to get this sorted and insurance claim sorted. All in the life of a vicar. Another area of the roof on the North Aisle is also going to get repairs.

I woke up early so thought I'd take a nose in the garden.
Other than the garden furniture having gone for a walk, the summer pool cover and roller had decided to jump on to the winter cover - not an easy one to retrieve!

Re: What have you done today thread?
Had a rummage in the 'cupboard of ancient technologies and historic connector cables and chargers'. So far;
Several mobile phones, including a couple of 'flip' phones
A pair of walkie-talkies (decent range)
A Sony portable DVD player
An i-River (iPod wannabe competitor)
A small Olympus dictation device
A video camera (modernish)
A Psion5 and a Psion Revo
A Plume portable environment monitor
A Lenovo tablet (might be another one in there somewhere
A treasure trove of old currency but some US$ and € notes in there too
A read/write CD unit
Many small memory cards, cables, power supplies etc etc
Will keep the Psion5 for posterity, neat bit of kit but I think the rest will be disposed of although the walkie-talkies might be useful come the apocalypse. There's a few more boxes of stuff like modems, keyboards etc etc in the loft over the garage.

0100 this morning, had to remove a 15ft trampoline complete with safety net from lane 1 & 2 of the M1! Strange thing is there’s no houses around there so I can only guess it’s had a wonderful adventure across the fields.v8-powered wrote: ↑Mon Jan 22, 2024 9:12 am I woke up early so thought I'd take a nose in the garden.

Even the LGV drivers that we held up thought it was funny watching 2, not that young, filthy, wet and pissed off Traffic Officers dragging the thing into lane 1 where we took it apart to dump it over the barrier.

As I am dossing down at the daughters place for a bit, I have become nominated handyman!
After the wind yesterday there have been a plethora of broken gates and latches to fix today. The lunge ring took a hammering as the wind has nowhere to go in there. Thankfully all horses pretty much unperturbed by the whole event!

I like storms. Two fences to fix, shed roof to re felt and three tree branches to chop up. Might not be such a quiet week after all.
