WHAT'S GOING ON?

Hello people!

Long time not been here.
Let's see what was going on with me:

My job is good, got pay rise after 3 months, very good.

My old bicycle had serious damage in the rear wheel. After approx 15000 km no wonder it happened. I bought a new one and replaced the freewheel and it was excellent, but then the speed control broke down... plastic. Okay, good bye old bike, I bought a new one :)

Scooter's break light was not working, but I fixed that too. Chinese workers can hide connections and cables pretty good :D

I also built a kneeling stool. No more back pain, no more hurt neck.

I used to snore like an animal. Mostly when I'm too tired. I can stop it when I program my mind not to snore, but most of time I don't because I'm lazy to do that. So I bought something, and no more snoring :D Snoreeze oral device. I highly recommend to those who have a chance to buy it. Was 35 GBP.

Finished a StarWars book from Timothy Zahn... Choices of One. Excellent novel. Never get disappointed with this great writer.

Everything is fantastic. Life is beautiful :)

LITTLE WIND AND A BROKEN WHEEL

London had a small windstorm, some broken trees and walls, but nothing really serious in our area. I had to push my bicycle half way to the workplace because the rear wheel gave up :D That was funny... and it started to rain :D

BEDFRAME

I finished my latest carpentry project: a bedframe with a huuuge storage space. (195 x 142 x 45) cm.
Took me 1 day to make it. Cutting timber, building the frames, and painting. 
The result is great, just what we needed. More space in the bedroom, more space all over the flat.

(Who's idea? Of course it was Dewi's idea :D)

GPU reflow :))

Neighbour's HP Pavilion G6 laptop gave up... 
First the fan, than the gpu.
The notorious faulty screen, than pitch black.
And because the gpu is soldered to the motherboard, the only way to resurrect it, was a heatgun :P
So I took it apart, cut the right size of aluminium foil (10 layers approx.) and heated up for 7-8 min.
It worked.
Wonder how long will it last?...



...more under the LAPTOP REPAIR menu.

END OF AUGUST

Wow, this summer was extra nice :)
Sunny and warm for 2 months.
That's rare in England.

Okay, today we did some tree-chopping in the garden.
The place looks brighter. 

Hopefully the birds won't mind the new look :D





I also finished my new furniture.
It is a combination of wardrobe, hanger, storage shelf, shoe-box, sofa and umbrella holder :)
