I tried them on the other day...felt strangely thrilling. I've put them in the back of the drawer and will only put them on when the Wife is out.

While I was out posting things for other people, Terry the post dropped me off a 30mm metal dimple die ... now I can dimple gussets till my heart's content or I'm fed up of doing it.

... and delivered head to toe Endura clobber. Pad-less bibtights, long sleeved top, windproof jacket and a headband; cause a cut up Buff isn't cutting it. Shame it's all black though...


There are theories at the bottom of my jargon.

A Polaris enduro jacket. They emailed me to let me know they didn't have any vapours left. Seems pretty good, looking forward to testing it out on a little spin tomorrow. Cheers for the heads up.

Re: The post man's been ...
my mate has done 200 of these in the wing and fuselage of his MYOA, (Aeroplane). Every one a different size, so had to use a roller flanging tool (well you know what I mean). All within aviation spec & inspection regime.. (I'd go crackers just doing the deburring...)Bearbonesnorm wrote: ↑Sat Jan 15, 2022 12:35 pm While I was out posting things for other people, Terry the post dropped me off a 30mm metal dimple die ... now I can dimple gussets till my heart's content or I'm fed up of doing it.

He bought the drawing, but there is no construction guide. so he had to plan a head & work out every step. 'if this goes in i can fit that later, if I fit that I can fit this etc...'.*
[ I helped build the wiring looms..' & bind them.. cable ties don't really work here with vibration., because ties + sheathing adds weight compare to soft splicing line...'.
he should write a book but I bet he' ll be too busy like the other aero constructors

*it's currently 60% of the way there, he's spent £40+K & turned down a £250k offer of 50%share on completion. There are 5 globally, airworthy.

Unfortunately, the fault seems to be a broken wire, just at the point where it enters the only sealed part of the whole thing. Have resigned myself to putting it into the spare parts drawer, as the main light body and electronics are identical to the new one. I guess that 10 years of use is relatively acceptable, but I don't like throwing stuff awaybelugabob wrote: ↑Thu Jan 13, 2022 1:52 pm A new alpkit gamma headtorch, to replace the one which mysteriously died - after a decade of faultless service.
I'm guessing that the faulty one will be the subject of dissection, tonight
Some axle bearing presses, so that I won't have to resort to an 18mm and a hammer, next time

Anyway the cable died, (poor quality control/specification?) an internal short because of poor grade insulation cracked, (it now brittle rather than flexes). the outer sheath is fine.. I may swap it from a alditorch..

I have to say that it's not an example of synonymity that I've come across very often

Probably best not to pursue it, for example by googling "gravel as fuck"

Not me but Ralph has had a parcel, which was a surprise as he doesn't get much post
No sender's details but he has an idea who it might be. You know who you are and what you've sent. He sends his thanks

Nice at that price. First hammock? Super. Most comfortable campy sleepy you will ever have, though eventually, you might have to factor in an underquilt and a bigger tarp than you might already have (IME 3x3 is a good option, slung diagonally over your hammock) Welcome to The Hang.
I'm just going outside ...
