Anyone up to anything today? How has the weekend gone so far for everyone?
I took about a week off work and I’m back tomorrow. I’m not dreading it but still… Might do some shopping later before going back to the grind. Must do up my CV as well as I’m looking to change jobs in the near future.
Enjoying the first weekend of not doing anything or going anywhere in nearly two months, did a nice long run yesterday and I’m currently languishing with a cup of tea watching the world go by outside!
It really can’t be beaten can it?! Its a fine day to recharge
I’m hoping to have a day off from having to fix broken things, so far this week
Monday and Tuesday - taking all the guttering, soffit trims and soffits down on the front of the house because a small furry thing nibbled the wires to the outside lights.
Wednesday - replacing a dead capacitor in the lawnmower.
Thursday - replacing the dead cooling fan in my NAS.
Friday - fitting two new glow plugs in one of the cars (I’ll be glad when it’s replaced with an EV).
Yesterday - stripping down the dishwasher and cleaning load of gunk out of it that was stopping water going in.
Fair play! Seems like you’re fierce handy at fixing things though, its a solid skill to have and probably saves a fortune in the long run.
What are you using your NAS for? Just general storage and whatnot?
I try to do as much as possible myself, saves a fortune, it’s really only anything on the cars that requires a lift that I farm out, but plumbing, electrical, carpentry, welding and fabricating etc I’ll do myself, usually as it’s a good excuse to hide in the workshop away from being found other things to do.
The NAS is an ancient Qnap TS-209 Pro II a friend gave me after the psu and cooling fan died, this is the first time it’s failed again in about 10 years, it’s only used for backing up photos and stuff from a car owners club I run, so nothing fancy.
