Seen more sunrises in the last two years than the previous 65 years combined. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a great deal of rain but what we had was welcome. Kids didn't hear a thing of course.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thegrogmonster Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Just finished putting together a portable VHF marine radio. The bottom half contains the batteries and the top section is the radio. Pleased with the result and we now have a radio to take with us when we go out in the small boats. 2 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip open its lid and let's see what's under the bonnet mate! I was taught valve theory before them new transistor thingys came along! In the 70s we were still using WW2 Larkspur stuff and when Clansman came in I was on CMN 0001 course!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek Dangleberries Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Just been pissing down with rain plus with a power cut. So I sprayed mossie spray everywhere (mainly for the cockroaches), went outside to enjoy the rain and make sure the street drains are clear. I want the power back on just so that I can put the fan on.... Although with Leeds v Man City later I am unsure if I want True-online back on or not !!!!

I had been working on stringing stainless steel cables to extend the sun shade canopy over the car entrance area when the thunderstorm moved into the area. Thought it might not be the smartest thing to be doing in an electrical storm, but continued on thinking lightening would strike other, better targets of opportunity than little old me. Only stopped when the heavens opened up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jupiter and Venus easy to see, Mars and Saturn less so. Thinking when I tire of the bright lights of Pattaya and move to the boonies of Kamphaeng Phet with my lady I'll invest in a nice telescope and spend my remaining years exploring the cosmos from my rocking chair. Remember the conjunction of Venus and Jupiter tomorrow morning. Hope you get clear skies and maybe a power failure at the appropriate time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
