    This is a cunning ploy by people who own hardware stores to separate the people who know what they're doing from those who've googled "how to stop leaky thingy" and have asked where the 3/4 size grommits are. The latter can be convinced that in order to properly stop a leaky thingy they will also need a 3/4 size attachment valve and a right handed fixing rod.

      I'm thinking about when to get showered and what jobs I could do today.
      I'm thinking about whether to get out of bed.

      I do have a clothes rack to assemble that's still sitting in the garage, I could do that.

        Speaking of washers, I've been searching for 1 inch diameter tap washers for yonks.

        They don't appear to make them any more.

          Still.

          Bored.

          Now.

          I think I'll make another pcb to relieve the tedium.

            And I'm back here!

            Wooohoo!

            Did make a great Vineet Bhatia coconut soup for GF#1's friend: all loved it.

            Now snorting some Talisker and dreading Monday's venture into more GESD and Grubs stats algorithms... please let me cook for a living...pretty please...I hate IT...
            I'd like to go back to cooking for a living again, but there's that and not being able to pay the bills.

              Morning!

              I've found an answer: make my bills very very small!

              I've got a headache this morning. And I'm in algorithm hell...
              If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.

                There's probably some in the closed shop over the road

                  Problem is after a while you get used to a certain lifestyle, the bills don't get any smaller.

                      Time to get out of bed and get to the shops, need some celery for the stock I'm about to make.
