Good news

I repaired 3 iPhone 3GSs today. One was for a friend and she was delighted that I'd got her trashed, waterlogged old phone working again! She sold it to one of her mates a few weeks ago and it'd broken shortly after, so I was called upon to breathe life back into it. Needed a new back cover as well as a battery and a thorough dry out, but I just stuck the cracks in the back cover and frame with some CA glue, because her friend didn't want to spend much on it. The other two refurbs went without a hitch as well, one is going back to the owner in the morning and the one that I built entirely from spares is going on Ebay at the start of the week

I just mowed our lawns and got a grand total of one hopper of grass off the whole lot. I'm absolutely amazed... I haven't cut them in two weeks and I expected there to be much more on them. It even looked like they'd grown quite a bit since I last did them, but it seems that the weather hasn't been good for growing recently. Although our potted plants and baskets are pretty much thriving Anyway, what's usually over an hour and a half of work took a hair under one hour this evening. Win

A couple of hours testing at the bench today has me thinking that I'm one £0.95 part away from repairing a £350 2.4GHz TX that I got gifted to me by a kind member of another forum. It was out of warranty when it developed the fault, so he boxed it and bought a brand new TX/RX set from another manufacturer. When he heard that I was an EE after I joined their forum, he offered to send it to me FoC to see if I could fix it. Either way, it was mine to keep and do what I wanted with, he said. It appears to only need a single voltage regulator - and a good clean. I ordered the v-regs today and took the electronics out of the casing to give it a wash. Come Monday afternoon, I should have a nice, like new 2.4GHz radio to put my new Heli on temporarily

I'm still on the prowl for a good deal on a 6ch Spektrum because I'm moving all my models over to DSM2 from the FM or basic 2.4GHz systems that they're on at the moment.

 

despite the heat being torturous ive a fan in my face and im happily sitting in photoshop atm.

feels good man.

 

My cousin is throwing discus for Ireland in the F57 class on the evening of Tuesday 4th September.

She came 5th in Beijing when she was 16, and earlier this year won gold at the IPC European Athletics Championships.

Stayed up from 5am to watch the meteor shower. Didn't see any meteors, but glad to have tried.

 

I tried that, but as soon as it was dark enough, clouds rolled in and blocked everything.

 

By 5am, it was slightly too bright, but I clung on to hope. Still, a pleasant morning lying in my front garden, using a sleeping bag as a pillow.

 

I saw a few. One of them was awesome. I was out in the middle of a field trying to get photos of them lol, but unfortunatly cloud cover took over the sky and sent me home.
