2KG of whey protein isolate, two 19kg cast iron dumbbells, and a set of resistance bands. Time to get fit & strong (again)!

 

i shouldn't have, but couldn't resist when i got notification that the 4gb ones were instock and a ninja bow case
i am planing a little project with my kids, just hope when desoldering some bits we don't kill it

 

Apparently we needed a new washing machine for the move...

 

Someone done goof put that down at £149 instead of £209...

 

Few toys for the M50

EF-M 22 f2 STM



Bluetooth Remote BR-E1

 

M50 any good? I have an M1 which is starting to show its limits

 

Yeah I'm liking it to be honest. I had a 7D Mk1 a few years back and as much as I enjoyed learning a bit more about DSLR's I just found I wasn't using it as much as it deserved due to its size so after xmas I was looking for something a little more compact to take out on the bike with me. I started looking at a M100 and typically me I ended up moving on up the range until I came across a good price + cash back offer on the M50 two lens kit so it made a lot of sense.

I love its quick focus system and ease of use so I get the best of small size and great quality. I picked up the 22mm after lending a 50mm 1.8 MK2 from someone at work and used it with the EF-M adapter (genuine canon one) but I found the focus hunted around like mad and I wanted something which would work well for family video stuff of kids. The reviews on the 22mm were over all good and cheaper than the ef-m 32mm f/1.4 stm which was the next on my list, I had some CEX vouchers to use up so look the plunge on the 22mm so just waiting to try it out now

 

Finally got my hands on one at a decent price, the CPU power increase is VERY noticable over my DS413 and DS211j.

 

Partly because @edzieba suggested sunglasses that block out light around the sides for upcoming eye lasers, but mainly because I've been looking for an excuse to buy them for a few weeks and the fact that I probably have way too many pairs of sunglasses has been stopping me. But this is now a medical requirement, so it's all good.

Delightfully ridiculous, and I love them.

 

HDPLEX H1.s V1, I have been waiting for ages for a V1 to come up as its quite a bit smaller than the V2.

I'm currently posting from it now while testing before I add a passive GPU to it.

 

Wow... you have to BUILD the heatpipe assembly...?!

 

Yep, 6 heatpipes for the CPU, going to try to fit 6 more in for the GPU.

 

Wait wait wait... GPU?! Where the hell does it go?!

 

There is tons of room. I haven't even got the PSU in either. I guess you want a mini build log then?

 

Nah, it's fine, you don't have to go to that sort of effort... I'm guessing this is a modular thing then, and that little chassis isn't just missing a top cover?

 

Its just missing the top cover

I should add that's a stock picture not mine, here are a couple of photos.

 

Paint finished.



This is what inspired me..



My uncle had one in the 70s, in this colour.



So I decided I wanted to do a browned out (with plenty of gold and chrome) bike Got this seat for it too haha.



I'm running on high right now. God knows when the crash will come, but bugger it I am going to enjoy it while I can. I nearly got cooked today though. JFC. I walked out the back door (the house was very cool) and started painting and before I knew it I felt very strange and weak. Came into the house, pouring sweat.. Put down two pints of water and felt better. Lesson learned though, I need to be careful. Thankfully it's going to cool down now, so I lucked out it seems. Just this to go now.
