Darts practice this afternoon...............Round the board

 

Treble 17, Double Top then Bull to finish.......... Seriously, no bull....... (I did get the bull to finish tho, Lol)

 

What a finish with my last three darts, or a fail.

 

It was only in my spare bedroom with no-one watching, but I still did my victory dance, Lol.

Last Thursday when I was going to walk the dog I spotted a lad having problems with his motorbike. Turned out the chain had come off the rear sprocket and jammed. I wasn’t surprised as it was a cheap

Got my bike back from service today at the local bike shop, feels like it's brand new and couldn't be happier! Turnaround was pretty good too, and the staff are super friendly/helpful. 

 

Although it did cost more than getting my car serviced, but that's what happens with 12 months of neglect...

Got a full refund on a holiday we won't be able to take, including the seat reservation costs.  We were due to go to Canada last year for our 30th Wedding Anniversary.  Covid put paid to that, so we postponed it to this year (thinking, at the time, the the pandemic wouldn't take long to pass), leaving monies paid with both the airline and holiday company.  Come this year, we now know that we won't be able to fly in May.  The holiday company suggested postponing to 2022, but we could be in the same boat then; who knows?  So we decided to draw a line under it, until better times.  Have already got our main outlay back and all that remains is a £244 seat reservation, which is agreed and in progress.  Phew.

One of the advisories is back silencer corroded which is 4th year on the trot I've had that, but I had it looked at in December and they said it was fine, it's only the outer bit that's corroded the inner skin is fine.

Well I finally think I've sorted one of my boiler / hot water overflow / leak issues! (Page  74 of the 'Annoyed' thread)

 

Got into the roof space today to look at the expansion vessel for the unvented hot water tank...   and I think the expansion vessel was OK just empty, causing the pressure relief valve to operate!  The Shrader valve on the expansion vessel was initially stuck closed but I managed to get it open and no water came out so it 'seems' the internal bladder is intact.  I've got the pressure in the vessel back up to the recommended 3 bar and it seems to be holding steady so touch wood all is OK - I just need to check the pressure again in a couple of weeks and also need to keep and eye on the tundish to see if the pressure relief overflow still drips...

 

Woo hoo!

As someone who has no life, I've spent the last couple of days setting up a new AV receiver. The number of tweaks I kept having to make has really annoyed me, mainly having to turn things off that are marked 'DYNAMIC xxxx' and such like. Anyhoo having beaten it into submission, I have found that I can do a cable test on my HDMIs with it. It checks the max bandwidth of each one and tells you if it's good up to 8K, 4K/60fps etc. really useful...

 

 

Except I now have around 6 HDMI cables that aren't fast enough for future proofing or current needs :( 

 

 

But still the fact of finding a hidden feature was more than worth it :) It's right up there with finding a hidden packet of Liquorish Allsorts you had forgotten about

Not sure that would count as a moment of Joy in my book...   More a 'what annoyed you today' type of thing for me as I hate liquorice...:sick:

Well you send them to me and make my day a double joy, then you would feel happy that you made someone day and so would fulfil the 'moments of joy in your day' brief of this thread. 

 

Winner winner chicken dinner (if you are veggie or vegan please send your chicken to me as well please)

Far too soon to tell. It'll still be doing updates, and probably stuck at 30% complete...

Setting the mixture on the Triumph 2000, a short test run in the sun and it runs very well. Lots of people were waving or smiling at the car in the sunshine. Clouded over now but the jobs done so I'm happy.

The parents of a lad I went to school with many years ago had a Mk2 2.5Pi Estate as a family car...   and my neighbour across the road has a Stag that he's had restored.
