Maker, dragon boat racer, national champion, love to design and make things. Currently learning how to blacksmith. Building a forge is fun!
Trying to remain useful after retirement is quite an enjoyable challenge.

Came home, totally exhausted from the World Championships in Germany, greeted by a huge fire, devastating the countryside. The biggest fire ever in Cyprus. It looked like my house was engulfed and beyond saving.
Firemen did an amazing job and we still have a house!
So grateful.

I have never been this exhausted, but that is what it is all about. Push all you can.

I need to diversify my feed here a bit. At the moment it is 95% evil things done by stupid people and the terrible consequences.
It would be nice to see some light-hearted fun every now and then.
Any suggestions?

@kdimerc.bsky.social Hi, it looks like Youtube has not done anything yet to remove the other "you"
It seems to be clear cut, but Youtube knows better?

@kdimerc.bsky.social Lady, you had me in stitches.
Came across into your channel and stumbled into a bar. I could not stop laughing, tears in my eyes, the whole thing. In the end I was waiting for the barmaids baby to pop up, but it didn't.
Very well done! (Tipping my hat)

Good morning Scarbs, quick question for you.
In the YouTube video of "unseen footage" of Sainz driving the Williams, at the end they are talking about the data. He wants to analyse the 'slips', front and rear.
Is he talking about the slip angles? To quantify under\oversteer?

I have come to the conclusion that angle grinders are dangerous.
But I got lucky, it was a thin cutting disc and it cut along my finger.
If it had gone across, it would have hit 3 fingers and cut tendons.
Now all I needed was stitches.

Amazon thinks my order with our great book is lost, but I have received it.
That got me thinking about refunds, does Amazon take the hit? Or is it deducted from our payout? I have no idea how that works.

Waiting for the onion soup that my wife is cooking.
It smells so good, I am getting really hungry!
Especially after a cold wet day out on the water training for the #dragonboat championship.

Just bought this excellent book by @jenniegow.bsky.social
I am loving all the little details and tidbits of knowledge.
It will be a most enjoyable read.

The middle of December and here we are, training in the sun. This was 7 o'clock in the morning.
The temperature was about 10C, and it was lovely.
A privilege to be able to do #dragonboat racing with the Cyprus Sharks .

I feel we need a theme song for the next 4 years.
Let's try and keep it positive.

With the shape and colour scheme of the Williams #formula1 car. In the side view, it looks like the whites of half of the Union jack in the light. One white diagonal line going down to the front, the side making a horizontal line and a slope of the sidepod going down, makes the third white line.

I just realised how much of an art this blacksmithing is. And how much practise it is going to take to get anywhere close to a good result.
This is my first attempt at forging a hummingbird. It is in there, I can see it. But it has not come out yet.

Isn't it annoying when the one person you don't like, wants you to do work for them.
And then proceeds to load up as many things to do in the time, to maximise the use of me to offset the cost.
Because I am too "expensive".
Then don't hire me!
Sigh.
Ah well, at least I get paid a little.

Interesting quiz question.
How do dolphins get high?
They chew on a puffer fish and the toxin released makes them high.
Even better, they share the fish with friends.
Not so nice for the puffer fish, though.
