Not really. Before buying my own I had checked out on YT if they were any good, doing my own research so as to speak. YT just found a few more vids. Unfortunately my YT will be full of these vids for the next few weeks.

^^^ Louisiana law in 1921 prohibited the speaking of French in public schools, and Cajun children were physically punished for speaking French.

In an earlier post I said that modding your CLSP (Chinese leather shoe patcher) was a "thing." Then these vids turned up in my YT feed. Talk about making a silk purse out of a sow's ear.

Take the expert advice and give whatever you stick in there a good clean with antibacterial wipes. (It might sting a bit)

Does she pull the blanket over your head first? Or do you pull it over yourself?

A small pinch of salt in my coffee does make it taste better. https://www.coffeebeancorral.com/blog/post/2023/11/03/salt-in-coffee#:~:text=Adding salt to coffee decreases,(salt) reacts with bitterness.

O'oh, he's riled up the nuns.

Ideal if you have 2 right feet. This one looks like it's developing a bunion already.

Many years ago, more than I care to remember, in my youth when after the novelty of one's first car wore off, about 2 weeks, one set about modding it to improve performance. We ported and polished heads, installed a lumpy cam, twin (or even triple for the most daring) carbys and extractors, the louder the sound the faster it went. While marginally improving performance it certainly increased the unreliability. But modding was a "thing" even before "things" were a thing. What has tales of a misspent youth got to do with Chinese crap I hear you ask in exasperation. Patience dear reader, patience. Not so long ago I had need for a knapsack or backpack sprayer with which to spray noxious chemicals on slightly more noxious weeds. Having won the battle if not the war against the weeds the sprayer was put away. But the sprayer is needed again, this time to spray soil wetting agents in an attempt to save the sixty year old trees from the relentless drought currently being experienced. No rain in 6 months for me, dead or dying trees everywhere. But there was a problem. The harness of the sprayer had deteriorated. The material would just crumble into a powder. No troubles I thought (actually they were just beginning), get some webbing and make a new harness. Can't be that hard. So ordered some "ballistic/backpack" webbing in a delightful fluro orange. Well ballistic is right. A bullet wouldn't go through it let alone a needle. Maybe I need a sailmaker's palm (you can look that one up yourselves) or an awl (hoot hoot). Ended up with 'cause there's a video of it being used to attach a webbing tag to a sail. Obviously it wasn't ballistic webbing because my Speedy Stitcher is having trouble penetrating the webbing. Then just as I thought all was lost a video of this appeared in my YouTube feed. Yay, cheap Chinese crap at last, took long enough. Known as the Chinese Leather Shoe Patcher or CLSP and loved or hated by those boomers who have traded their twin carbys and con-rod polishing for remedial handcrafted leather work. Those who hate it expected it to work perfectly straight of of the box. It doesn't! Others who took the time to first clean off the Chinese shmoo it comes covered in, then went round with a file and knocked off all the burs, maybe added a washer here or a shim there for better clearance say it does a reasonable job of sewing including up to 3 layers of heavy boot leather. Then there are the real modders... I had the lathe in the garage so I machined a groove in the crank wheel and fitted the electric motor, designed the AC to DC converted and speed controller or the original pivot points are crap so I built up the rocking arms with the welder then reamed the holes and pressed in low friction sintered metal bushings My YouTube feed is now full of videos of modded CLSPs and apparently there's a Facebook group just dedicated to modding the machines. Anyway, mine is ordered and maybe I'll have it sometime next week. I have the V138 coated, bonded, suitable for marine and outdoor environments polyester thread, just need to make sure I have the right needle. I mean, what can be difficult about a needle? Well, there's the size. What does 140/22 mean? 140 is the European size and means the needle is 1.4mm across the eye which determines the thread thickness it can take. 22 is the American size so who cares. Then there are the points, just gotta be sharp right, nothing could be easier. Maybe I should mod the sprayer handpiece while I'm at it. There's hose swivels, flow and pressure regulators, fan or cone nozzles, misting or heavy droplet...

Thankyou kind sir. The plant is about 10 years old and about 2M tall. Like most (all) citrus plants purchased from plant nurseries it is grafted onto a different rootstock, probably Poncirus trifoliata. Poncirus trifoliata was a slow growing plant which gives the grafted "package" a semi-dwarf or compact habit thus making it suitable for growing in pots.

I thought he just forgot the &. Colum & Brian.

Mine grows in a very small plot, 50cm in diameter. It's in a pot. PS. The zest of the fruit is just as good as the leaves, but don't go down to the pith (ath oppothed to getting on the pith).
