VERY busy day
« on: 24 October 2010, 20:44:15 »

Started with replacing one rear brake disc, will do the other VERY soon.

Then I stripped the PS3 after getting a YLOD again.

Fixed it with the magic plastic welder 8-)

Got a 320 slim from Asda.

But got corruption on the 40 so need to fix this

In between I fixed a small leak under the sink and unclogged the bathroom sink.

I would have thought fixing the other brake was more important than buggering around with kids toys  :-/


This weekend, I've managed a pair of droplinks, steering idler, washed the windowsills outside, reconfigured the layout of the shelving units in the garage, made significant progress in tidying the garage (a mess since shed dismantled), tidied up my office, made up a PC out of some old bits (then promptly failed to install Win95 or Win98 - its for EPROM programming), fixed a couple of issues on the server with backups and with processes not starting at bootup, fixed an issue with one of my brother's SQL servers not allowing transactions and kick off the replication again, fixed some traffic master units, and spent hours trying to get OLP working on UK Norstars (and failed :()

I twas very cold and my hands had gone numb.

Brakes are still pretty well balanced but if front I would have done both.

Hand brake is a LOT better.

Same make pads as before anyway

We intended to have a proper lie in on Sat morning, due to a couple of late nights on Thursday and Friday. I was really looking forward to it.

Then just before 8am was when my brother's staff rang to say all the tills were offline, and wouldn't come back on.  Best laid plans and all that ;D

Did you not have problems on the M6/M40?

Have been up and down M6 this weekend diverting off at J15 on way up and rejoining at 15 on way back.
Quite slow going

Been busy here.. Bit of glider fettling with my syndicate partner Chris, then decided to take her for a flight before the gliding season is completely out. Not been doing very much this season, what with rebuilding the Westfield.

Anyway, a very pleasant hour of soaring. Turned out to be a nice day.

Worked a 12-hour shift yesterday (Sat); then went back in this morning (Sun) after 12 hours rest at 10am.
Sat 'spare' for 3-odd hours, then did one round trip to Barry Island, and was back home around 4pm.
Devoured one of Mrs Sethsmate's roast pork dinners with all the trimmings, plus a portion of her award-winning apple crumbles with custard, washed-down with a bottle of Newcastle Brown!

Fired-up the iMac, had a gander on here, then a chat with Turk.
Into the bath next, then off up the wooden hill!

Weekend gone ooerr - g'night all! :D

Going up, only a small problem on the toll rd, where a car had blown a oil gasket or worse as he was pours smoke out of his exhast. Opps forgot about the overturned lorry on the 40 but by the time we hit it, the congestion was a mere blink of an eye. M6 was excellent.

Coming back down there was a small hold up at Sandbank due to a 3 car shunt apart from that it was all plain sailing
