Seeing work been done on such a desk full of other gear, odds'n'sods and schematics gives me hope my own method might not be so mad after all (now I just need to diagnose what I killed when a test probe arked when calibrating an SA-706. Final step before it was finished too)

Come now, surely a return of the Gay class would just be straight up funny (I've actually met the owner of the last surviving Gay class, the Gay archer. It's in Bristol harbour and he sold he house to restore it, living on the boat during the process.)

This does imply a certain over stocking of vin... Unless he meant 'Spam sans vin' which would be much more likely.

We weren't supposed to have a blacksmith workshop, stables, stream or slaughterhouse in the garden either... Oh and no gardening on a Sunday either.
But the deeds are 129 years old so I'm pretty sure the statute has expired now.

I'm still amazed he has all his fingers and toes with the stuff he got upto there (there was even a blank firing .38 at one point... Again probably a good reason there isn't anymore and I'm sure my Dad had a part in the reason there's not)

Cheap home servers cost next to nothing to setup for your own private photo cloud storage (immich is a good option and pretty straight forward with an app to help organise)

Seems plenty good to me. Better than I've ever managed at any rate (I was better at brass and even then only just)

All the way until the tit in the hot seat sets the squibs loads on the underwater outriggers a little "too" close...
Hydrostatic effects will hydrostatic.
And out pops a now rather damp boat pilot (my dad spent a summer being said pilot of one of the vessels)

That reminds me, I really ought to go through the classic music box sets I've got stashed away (they even come with a program like it was a form event. They don't make em like they used to)

We tried getting Burns fodder from a Norman restaurant near to us but they'd filled the order books so no extra space (fact'o'the day - the largest consumers of Single malts is the French. They really do get good quality spirits)

The trick now is to arrange with your local co-op a "food share". You clear off the stuff they'd bin and deposit it elsewhere for the good of the community...
(I do this every other Sunday to one of the local churches and that stuff does shift in the morning. Better than landfill at any rate)
