maipenrai Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 In my modest little home I really don't have enough wall room to mount a TV so I have mine on a stand; I seldom watch any actual programming but use my laptop through the big screen with remote keyboard and mouse: 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeez get a life mate, and try upgrading the type of hotels you’re frequenting. 🤔 Edited May 11, 2020 by KhunDon 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Concerning wall mounting, I dont like it. I like to have the screen at eye level when sitting on the sofa. Wallmounting is OK for the pub or sportbars IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you know I had a Winchester....lol..lol Way back when, in rural America, just about every pickup truck on the road had a rifle in the rack of the back window. Mostly Winchester 30-30 or some brand of 22 caliber. It was as common as a spare tire. There were considered a tool to be used on the farm or ranch. No one gave it a second thought and no one would ever consider stealing one. It was a different time back then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought to myself this is pretty cool ... I still have a couple of Glocks ... tried to teach Beach Gal how to use .... but, she is reluctant .. she would rather have a broom stick in her hands ... I try to tell her that is a waste of energy and time ... she still is reluctant ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My poor old eyes are more important than the rest of the furniture, lol....plus I only have 800 sq ft of living space so I have to squeeze things in wherever I can; but it's comfy and cheap to heat in the winter - and I have a nice big yard outside... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Bro ... all five or 6 containers on the table except the one with the eye dropper are all various types of tiger balm ( magic stuff ) .... some lavender oil , some vitamins , vitamin E , some ganja ... nothing out of the ordinary ... But I should clean it up ... Edited May 12, 2020 by code_slayer_bkk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boydeste Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 (edited) Just had my breakfast and a couple of cups of tea, I have had a few freezer problems this past week or so. You would think it easy to buy a new freezer, But during this lockdown they have all been purchased as extra food storage in garages etc. Quite incredible over reaction by the public in my area. I eventually tracked down a company that had a large chest freezer available. It wasn't my first choice of direction to go, but have been forced into it really. Any way, it was delivered yesterday to my garage by two large guys. I spent a good few hours getting it unpacked and moved into position by myself and assembled. It's been running all night. Today I am going to move 100kgs of bait from two other chest freezers into it and that will let me turn then off to defrost.

JPK Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Just back from a quick blast round the park on my mountain bike this morning. My work enrolled me on some daft health and safety course during this lockdown. Ive not looked at the books or stuff since I got them a month ago, I was thinking last night I better open them up and get a start on it this afternoon I reckon😀 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the thermostat in my fridge packed it in and replacements were no longer available an STC-1000 temperature controller ($AU14 from China) does the job. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thai Spice Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 (edited) My little bar near the supermarket has re opened, so happily enjoying a Bintang. Opening hours limited 10 am 6 pm, not sure they'll make money, but I guess breaking even and paying the 2 staff should be a satisfying start. Happy to give them my custom, its THE way to help local business. Sadly, not many (like in "zilch") tourist tottie to look at 😥😥😥 Edited May 13, 2020 by Thai Spice 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
