Remember watching Crusty Demons of Dirt when I was a kid, loved it! Everything about 90s California🌅 seemed cool when it came to skateboarding, bmx & freestyle dirtbike riding. The soundtrack was kind of memorable as well. Anyone who watched it will remember Seth Enslow. Mind Funk - Blood Runs Red 🎸🎶 #bikestr #tunestr #90s

If you're into 3d printing, prototyping, precision, high accuracy, machining, engineering or even basic shop skills you should watch Dan Gelbart's videos on YouTube, they guy is some kind of genius tbh. Watched his workshop tour and some of his other videos a few years ago and loads of the stuff he covered has stuck with me. One notable mention was his Moore No3 Jig Borer, accurate to 1 micron / 40 millionth of an inch, leadscrews that are half a micron out to allow for slight temperature changes in an oil bath, invar headstock, the guys in the factory that did the final scraping in wore aluminised suits so their body temperature didn't distort the tolerances 🤯 Hold my beer while I drill a hole in this speck of dust. When the guy started out with not much he used to build his own machines and equipment, some of which he still uses.

The metal rod was from the mechanism of an up & over garage door and the other pieces were scraps so I guess you could consider this junksculpting, the wheelbarrow was given a coat of Hammerite and concreted in the ground just as an ode to a deceased relative who was a builder. 🧱⚒️🪏🪦

Fruit update 🍍😁 A quick Internet search informed me that the reason pineapples sold in UK supermarkets are so rubbish is due to the pineapples being picked too early/unripe so they'll survive the journey from the country they are grown. Once a pineapple has been picked it may soften or change colour but it doesn't ripen or become sweeter. In an ideal world, you wouldn't be buying or consuming tinned fruit but the pineapple found in tins has been left to ripen before being picked, the packaging states no added sugars and 100% pineapple juice. Just not worth buying pineapples in the UK, not from supermarkets anyway, might as well buy the tinned stuff. #fruitstr 🍍😁

Let's hope there's no errors or bugs in Palantir's "Master Database" which cause people to have their lives ruined because you know....the system is never wrong! Tell that to the 900 sub-postmasters who were convicted of crimes they didn't commit, faced financial ruin and had their lives destroyed with some even committing suicide thanks to Fujitsu's Horizon accounting software.

My Hydrangea isn't looking like one of the The Eight Immortals Flowers 😏 🇨🇳🌺 八仙花 It keeps coming back but has never really got going or turned into the big blooming shrub a cutting was taken from - the old hydrangea that was outside my Grandma's house all my life. Maybe it's down to the pH of the soil but I always remember her's flowering white/pale pink. The last couple of years it seems as though frost has killed a lot of the new growth/shoots and they turn black and fail. #plantstr #garden

They say home is where the heart is but nothing screams home to me about some billionaire's sterile, minimalist art gallery, glass and white box apartment in Dubai but I guess if you're a billionaire it would just be another one of your 'properties'. 2 pictures off the internet, prefer the later.

Noticing a big advertisement push for WhatsApp both on the TV and the Internet "Not even WhatsApp can see your personal messages, they're protected with end-to-end encryption" The sceptic in me smells a rat 🤨. Between Zuckerberg & Thiel - the government will have every word you've ever typed on an electronic device in their new "Master Database"

Would you spend $1400 on a Silky Katanaboy? Cool af but what you gonna do once the blade starts to dull? Not even sure you can sharpen them as the teeth are induction hardened and even if you can it would be a job and a half compared to sharpening a chainsaw chain.

Plodding on with the 30" bow saw. The logs that need cutting only go up to about 6" diameter so it's not too bad although it's all hardwood and most of it is already dried and has been in the sun so swapped out the green wood raker blade for a peg tooth. Some of it isn't worth splitting and will leave as rounds, the other stuff will just get split in half and stacked in the wood store. As it's a residential area and for the health of the flue - I only burn kiln dried or seasoned hardwood which is 20% moisture content or lower (government guidelines) most of this stuff will probably be ready to burn by winter. 🪵🪚🪓

Installed Wallet of Satoshi on Android and got it working okay with Nostr Amethyst to zap people, also installed Primal on my phone which I find has a better appearance/user interface. How do you connect W of S to Primal though using NWC? Can't see anywhere in the wallet to generate/view the connection code?

👀🪚 Saw a post from an old guy who I follow on X the other day saying he had to work on Sunday, something he didn't want to do but had deadlines to meet, thought to myself that for me milling some boards and being productive would be preferable to sitting there like a lemon scrolling social media, plus I'd be earning money but it's like anything... People who have never driven plant before think it would be cool to operate an excavator, bulldozer, forklift etc which it is for a bit until it's your full time job to be sat in one, after a while you're looking for any excuse to get out and have a walk around 😂 Links to his website for antique furniture restoration, hardwood supply & milling.

I've opened a shop. Come take a look!

Tried some different honey, this Zambian Forest Honey is darker in colour and totally different taste to New Zealand Clover Honey. It has a kind of tobacco and treacle flavour to it which I quite like tbh. The Internet returns - "Zambian honey is a unique and richly flavored honey that is harvested from wild bees in the Miombo rainforests of Zambia, near the source of the Zambezi river. It is known for its smoky and aromatic taste, with notes of treacle, dried fruits, and whisky. The honey is cold-pressed, which retains a higher pollen content, and it is certified organic and Fairtrade, supporting small-scale village beekeepers who use traditional bark hives"

Why is the fruit from supermarkets usually so shyte? What has been done to it? Every pineapple I've had hasn't even been that sweet, soft or juicy - more whitish pale looking inside than rich yellow/orange, the label states that once picked pineapple doesn't ripen any further so it's nothing I'm doing. Bags of small oranges or 'easy peelers' as they are labelled are usually shyte - either dry or tasteless. Pears used to be soft and juicy if left to ripen but now either seem hard with little juice or turn to rubbery mush. I bet if some small scale independent farmer local guy in Costa Rica gave me a Pineapple it would taste totally different, honestly getting to the stage where I don't trust half the food sold in supermarkets.

Built a water planter/mini pond because adding water to a garden is supposed to help nature, even adding a quarter height barrel, watertight pot or old Belfast sink with pond plants to a patio can help. Bedded 4 paving slabs on some 10mm ballast concrete, used 2 courses of 250x120mm treated softwood sleepers on edge screwed together with long green treated wafer head timber screws, used galvanised L brackets & shorter treated screws on the internal corners. Added a layer of building sand inside on the floor, underlay & pond liner with a decking board cap. Added a small solar powered fountain sat on top of an old strawberry pot, cut a hole in a riven stone slab for the pump and core drilled the biggest pebble I had for the jet, my old 1/2" bsp threaded chuck dedicated core drill and quality Marcrist core bits did the job. The plants in plastic baskets sit at various heights depending on their type, oxygenating at the bottom, marginals a few inch down on bricks and floating plants just thrown in. #plantstr #nature #wildlife #garden

1st picture is what a car windscreen looks like after some rainfall in the night. 2nd picture is of a glass patio table that I cleaned on Saturday which now looks like that. 3rd picture is the dust collected up onto a piece of paper 4th image (video) once again shows the dust contains ferrous metal Seems strange to me, no wonder my nose is always dry & I'm thirsty. Is it #geoengineering or normal atmospheric #pollution?

Red-headed cardinal beetle? #Bugstr 🪲

Couple of cold lagers to quench all the dryness from that Darpa Dust falling out the sky! Peroni, can't really go wrong with this stuff, although can you trust anything nowadays? Heard Bill Gates was getting involved with Heineken who are the parent company of brands such as Amstel & Bira Moretti, look what parasites such as Gates has done to Arla who own Lurpak which was once a established Danish butter producer since 1901, now it's made from the milk of cattle who have been fed Bovaer 'because cow farts cause climate change' absolute bollocks!

The UK Government are now actually admitting to doing #Geoengineering but only so called 'harmless' salt water spraying onto the clouds, what aren't they admitting to though? It's not just me that has been seeing an increase of dust/particulates covering everything outside. Open to hearing plausible suggestions as to what it could be.
