@variablepulserate Yes. Or get AppleCare plus on it.
Spent the last ten minutes reassembling a steel-framed single bed.
The mattress I bought online 15 days ago is finally out for delivery with a courier company.
That was a wild ride. Massive cramps in both legs simultaneously, affected area above & below the inside of the knees.
Unpleasant.
Bloody government forms. Attempted to upload seven multi-page PDFs as created by my flatbed scanner to one department’s website, only to get the generic error in red: “Something went wrong…”
After extracting the individual pages & renaming them I had 13 PDF which all uploaded without a glitch.
@matigo Just learned the train lost about 2 hours of time on both outbound and inbound legs because the lead loco on the outbound section suffered a major fault and had to go into limp-home mode. It could manage the reduced speed. No doubt they’ll be dipping into their spare parts bins to apply a fix.
@matigo The railway preservation group is based at the former workshop where all these locos were built. There were 53 built & 21 of them are preserved. Scrapped units would have parts available & they can make parts that are lacking.
The sun was out this morning so I went off to the main shopping centre about 2 km from home. Almost there I heard several screaming steam whistles and concluded a western suburbs-based steam preservation society was having another outing.
Indeed they were: in 1922, the first of a new class of locomotives, the K-class went into service starting with K100. The last of that class was decommissioned in 1979 and 21 of the units are owned by various preservation grooups.
The whistles belonged to a centenary special train of some 13 carriages hauled by three of the preserved K-class locos. It had stopped in my location, 57 km from its departure point to take on water for a round trip of some 325 km. The leading locomotive, marked as K100 (the first of the K-class) was actually the last constructed K-class, K153 (built in 1940) done up in K100 livery.
As I was preparing for bed some 12 hours later, I heard the whistles off in the distance again. The train had bee delayed by about 90 minutes at the far end.
I’ve attached a pic of the three locos.
I emptied lots of junk and plenty of good stuff from the boot (trunk) of my 2012 Mazda2. This car has a horrible - never been used - spacesaver spare wheel & tyre. I’m going to ge a full-sized wheel & tyre because it can fit in there, just not in the provided well. That will become storage space for essential but little-used items like clothing and tools. Part of that process involves modifying the hold-down bolt because I don’t want the wheel to become a missile should I be in a collision.
@variablepulserate Very much so, the case as well. A good thing it’s not a leather case…
