Today I've had my first Covid 19 booster jab of the season, the last two have really made me fell odd (nothing new there I hear you say!) Well for the last 12 weeks I've bought zero test equipment, so the withdraw symptoms have kicked in this week so I finially succumbed to the itch, and these arrived ths afternoon to improve our JBC solderings system. I'd like to point out really haven't purchasd anything for the last since end of June! Will have to wait until Christmas for the real test toy 10 weeks in to a 18 week lead time

Wadia' yer know, turned out to be a medium pair of SMT tweezers & matching powered stand, some tips for soic 8 & sot-23 packages for the micro tweezer sets we have plus a delux powered tip cleaner. I thought these were just lazy way to remove the flux etc from the tip. I stand corrected they are a bit special at what they achieve, so its a posh tip cleaner

...broke both of my heels falling out of the sky kitesurfing at Blackpool, shallow water, rock hard sand, 20 foot fall out of the sky. Got xrays at Blackpool, booked in at Sheffield tomorrow for a cat scan to check if I need pinning.
F#ck they hurt, and shuffling around on my arse and hands make me realise how poor our hoover is...

Well I'm not stopping paramotoring any time soon.
My landings were getting worse so I did the sensible thing and visited an instructor I know well. Landings now sorted.

We don't have a landing, but we could still do to drag our hoover out again.

I've no owner so my hoover spends 98% of its life in the cupboard sobbing though loneliness. Comes out to play for 30 mins every 3 months on Bake-off days to clean where I've moved the furniture out.

I was once the victim of a drive-by paintball shooting when working in Blackpool. Three bright yellow shots, missed me by inches, then they sped off in their Ford Fiesta. Took me an hour to get the paint off that new window... |
