What the feck have you done today?
- Thread starter The GOAT
- Start date
Good to see you are all happy to let robots take jobs. You will all have ya reasons no doubt. At least you are all buying products made locally i guess.
Funnily enough……. it did
It’s in its programme, when the battery level gets below a certain threshold level it just takes itself back to its charging base and plugs itself in. It charges enough for it to finish its task then it goes out and finishes it, then comes back to recharge fully whilst waiting for its next task.
Actually, it’s not taking a job. The gardener can still come every fortnight but just do other jobs, there’s plenty to do.
The problem with Ireland, and I guess parts, or most, of NZ are the same, is it rains a lot and it’s temperate all year round so the grass grows for 12 months of the year. From November to April the days the weather and/or wetness of the grass are suitable to use a lawnmower often don’t coincide with me having the 3hrs available time to cut the grass. However, as I’m sure @The skitz can confirm, if that window of opportunity is missed it could be 2 weeks or longer before another one arises, during which time the grass has grown 10cm or more and it becomes nigh on impossible to get the lawn mower through it. Shorn (that’s its name
) has just reduced 10-15cm of grass to an even 30mm in several passes over the past 2 days. Now it can easily maintain it all year round, and, with it now being so short, it can even cut it when it’s wet as it will be only taking 5mm or so off each time. Thus, even over the winter, when it’s not raining, I can send it to do its job and I can be getting on with other things instead of pushing a lawnmower around 
. Oh, and don’t worry, your trade is safe from robots and AI
The garage for it arrived today so that’s now been installedMine has no hut, I was worried about weather but after 3 years no issues, dome (flymo I think) sell dedicated huts as an extra so you can do a bit of research ifcyou want a hut
Now I’ve just got to fix up a better arrangement for the power supply rather than the extension cable it’s running off at present.
You know, you're going to discover one day that you forgot all about this critter.It’s in its programme, when the battery level gets below a certain threshold level it just takes itself back to its charging base and plugs itself in.

You'll go to check on the "hut" because you realised you hadn't been paying attention for the past six months or so, only to discover that the bastard has built a fucking Robot Wakanda while you snoozed and you are no longer the dominant civilisation in your neck of the woods.
And I... I shall laugh at you, mockingly. Cos - you snooze, you lose.
One part of the garden wall started to separate from the other part so used some roofing straps to pin it back together then fill the gap with mortar - next week....drill all the way down through it and put in some securing bolts.
Tomorrow. Helping a mate fix some issues on his z1000.

Took the Exige out for a run to Craig's Honda in Shipley with Mini Ex to have a look at the new Transalp and CB1000GT.
Both were very comfy - I will book a test ride on both maybe
Still thinking of replacing the R1 everyday bike with something more comfy for longer trips but I've been thinking about it for 3 or more years now - a bit of a Perryism I guess but I don't constantly post about it...........

Sounds like a trip to Fowlers is what you need matey.Took the Exige out for a run to Craig's Honda in Shipley with Mini Ex to have a look at the new Transalp and CB1000GT.

For true Perryism you have to start three threads a day about said bikes for three years, fretting about whether they're going to be an inch too tall or an ounce too heavy and if anyone offers any helpful input you tell them to fuck off. You make 432 visits to Fowlers of Bristol to kick tyres and prod seats and complain about the cafe.Took the Exige out for a run to Craig's Honda in Shipley with Mini Ex to have a look at the new Transalp and CB1000GT.

Then you buy something completely different from somewhere else without test riding it, ride it once to the end of the street and back and announce that it's shit and you're done with biking.
Rest for ten days posting endless photos of a rain-soaked ring road out of a hotel window somewhere in Reading, then repeat the process all over again.
You're not quite there yet but a budget Honda is very Perryish. If you start becoming interested in pretend BSAs from India you're done for and I shall personally call round with a bottle of whisky and a revolver. You'll know what you have to do.
FIFY
Are they all moved to china now?
Awwww, you beat me to it! Nice bum btw!
It's time to go smash some doors in! Wait! Will the doors be in the std place or elsewhere like the ceiling?
Last night i put the rub on a 2 5 kg chunk a brisket and made the bbq sauce that it is to cook in. This morni g i got up at 7 30 and put it in the oven, set the timer for 2 hours, set my alarm for 10 and went back to bed..
I got up again at 10 to turn the joint over and reset the timer only to find i had turned the grill on and not the oven so oven and meat were stone cold.
So much for brisket for lunch.. takes about 4.5 hours in the oven the a bit on bbq then cool so wont be done till 3 ish.
Now i gotta do some thing different for lunch...
Got another chunk a brisket and am gunna grind it up to make burgers. Have the fat i trimed off the 2 joints i corned so gunna grind that in, corned beef fat should give the burgers a nice flavor
More fucken work ...

Every opportunity he's in there with his GS fetish.......
Elsie told me this morning that she wants a new kitchen knife.
"What size knife are we talking about Elsie?"
"About this long Ron - to cut vegetables"
"So around 6" then?"
"Yes - as long as it's not separated"

Is your 6" separated?
The new implement may be for that exact separation
Today after a week of staying in i got out on the Harley, i had some how damaged a ligament in my foot!! It was agony to walk so spent a week resting it. Bloody hell it was nice to get out of the flat, bloody road works everywhere and there's a bit of road on the way to Loomies garage were there was a trickle of water that goes across it. There is now work going on there and temp traffic lights, what ever they have done they have made it worse, it's no longer a trickle but a small stream!!
Anyway i can ride again and that's all that matters.
