But what about another drone accidentally dropping some thread on its rotors? 4 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

More difficult cases require our services. We accept payment in cake and whisky. Dave 1 1 1 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted December 3, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 3, 2022 Aditi used my PC yesterday for the first time I think. She has her own favoured machines but I do have a large monitor which helped as she was viewing 3 A4 pages. Anyway she said my keyboard was very dusty and suggested I clean it. This surprised me. However it wasn’t, it just looks dusty, I don’t know how the key finish is described but I suspect it isn’t “dust effect”. 9 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Popular Post Dave Hunt Posted December 3, 2022 RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted December 3, 2022 Today I did some modelling. The intention was to apply transfers to a brake van I've been making then get on with something else. Applying the transfers went well - at first. Then the last one (it's always the last one isn't it?) went awry and by the time I'd messed about trying to straighten it, which resulted in crinkling and tearing it, it became obvious that I'd need to remove it and start again. Then whilst removing it I made a mess of the paintwork and ended up having to rub down and repaint part of the model. I hate transfers. Dave And I didn't manage to get anything else done. 23 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winslow Boy Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 I don't suppose it helps if I say that I've had a very good day. I got all my jobs done plus some.

Alas poor Andy I knew him well. Oh I realise. On the other hand there are various other pink jobs I get out of. I get the blue jobs and sometimes the maroon jobs. Overall I think income our slightly ahead as a blue job requires planning ( thinking about it by watching TV) and as there is no point of reference it takes as long as it takes. Anything I feel will be too much faff I call in a trade. The pink jobs are very difficult to farm out to trade. Andy 10 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I'd not done much today, but in the spirit of your post... Got out of bed - tick. Had breakfast - tick. Read the papers - tick. Had lunch - tick. Mrs Shed went Christmas shopping without me - double tick. Mrs Shed and Shed Jnr went to a pantomime without me - double, double tick. Had a clear run at the TV accompanied by a splendid bottle of Italian red - multiple ticks. An excellent day all told- (if not for the tediosity of a head cold that arrived on Thursday; but better now than Christmas Day 😃 9 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a big chart pinned up on the wall with all the jobs marked out and progress up dates. It must be very colourful with pink, blue and maroon. Are the updates in green - good; yellow - not so good and black scribble- rotten. Very rembrandtish. 8 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
