I cook frozen ones. I had a ventilated pan and it is a bit dead after all the years of use so I figured I would get a stone. The base never crisps in the pan I have. Will be interested to see the difference. It didn't cost any more than a new pan so I figured it is worth a try

 

If you have a self cleaning oven you can use that to get temps beyond 250C perhaps up to 450C, lovely for Neapolitan pizza base.

Somehow I have ended up with a few Pizza ovens......how does that happen, indoor / outdoor, whenever, always Pizza all the time in my house

 

After getting the IFS kit (£4100) fitted to my F100, I've now found I need a new sump for the engine to get the engine to clear the steering rack (£1k) so

Rear well sump
oil pickup pipe
cap bolt with mount for pickup pipe
dipstick
sump gasket
high volume oil pump
Universal Joint for the steering rack
and a baseball cap,

£715 shipped from Summit in the US, + whatever import charges get stuck on it too, probably not going to have much change left from £1k.

Then once the engine fits without hitting anything I've got to make some engine mounts, then I've got to modify the drivers exhaust manifold so I can connect the steering column to the rack. Oh fun,


This trucks going to bankrupt me

You won't like to know what I just spent on my GT then....

My cat is named Mavolio, after the chief cashier of the Bank of Ankh-Morpork, Mavolio Bent.

 

That weed I bought with the CBD on is awful.... To smoke. It's so harsh it just kills your throat. Probably because of all of the CBD on it. As thus I need to get some coconut milk next time I do Iceland and make tea with it. I have been waiting for two months for this to come up.



An oz of hash. Which I prefer 100 times more than the weed. Just a quick bong is enough to set me up.

 

I snagged this old battered e-bike with a battery for a 20$ donation to the SPCA. It needs a bit of TLC and possibly a new controller but it’s solid and the motor works. Also, against all odds, the bloody battery is alive. With a full charge, at max speed & without pedaling, I got 21.8km on flat surface. I couldn’t believe it, I was expecting either dead or drained after 1km.

 

Reason I never put them on the rack is because they have literally sagged between the bars in the past and made the worst mess. Ever.

The stone has handles on, so I just realised I really should have these too.



Will be using it for the first time next week. Away atm.

 

I have a couple of Meaco DD8Ls, the one in the loft room did a great job stripping condensation that would layer the veluxs in the morning. Barely had to run much, emptied about once a week.

The one downstairs would be on pretty often in comparison and emptied daily but it had two rooms, a downstairs toilet and kitchen to deal with.

Now we've sold up and currently in a rental I don't actually need them, humidity is bang on and no condensation. They're on standby when winter it's and they may be needed when we buy.

Dehumidifiers make such a difference to just day to day life though.

 

USB switcher



Type-C USB3..point..something..gen...whatever... dock



Car cigarette lighter adaptor



Armchair/sofa(ish) bed



Picture frame in an odd size, because qwertee does prints in weird non-standard sizes



Microwave - our previous one was over a decade old and really starting to show its age...



Mattress - old one was way too stiff and absolutely killing my back & shoulders...

 

My first mechanical keyboard... its probably a bit pedestrian compared to more esoteric options, but I love/need the the quick-buttons to switch devices in a jiffy



And two desk mats bundled at no cost for some reason? I'm not complaining.

 

The quick switch buttons are why I still love the MX Keys keyboard

 

Been getting a bit annoying with my Honor phones Desktop experience, too many glitches I have to work around, it is something I use most days and have done for years in conjunction with a portable screen, was always near perfect on Samsung as they can do functional software better than most, no other phone I have tried comes close.

So thought it was time to drop my Honor Magic and pick up a Fold again, but the Fold hardware is so grim compared to what I have, big and heavy, so I have gone down the tablet route, this is new for me, not sure I can make it work the way I want but we will see.

So purchased the 14.6” Tab S10 Ultra, seemed a good deal, same size as my portable screen but should have a properly functional desktop experience again as it is Samsung, seemed a reasonable deal with pen and Keyboard for less than 1k.



If it is good perhaps it may even supplant my laptop as a travel device, though my 16” laptop is 300 grams lighter than the 14.6” tablet and it's add-ons to make a laptop how does that happen
