James in Brum Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 (edited) It is cooked, mushed and then dehydrated fruit. Kids like things called Bear YoYos to eat, if you have come across those they are fruit leather. It is a preserving technique. A bit like fruit jerky. I quietly lean towards the British equivalent of the American phenomena of ‘preppers’. (Not anywhere near as full on bonkers as them).As such I have spent the past couple of years getting an allotment and learning to grow food (still crap at it) and am moving into how to preserve it for other use. Going to try jarring some soup later I think. I like the idea of have some self sufficiency and if the shops run out my family will be fine.

rob m Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Got the day off which means weekend nerd alert. Turned my Raspberry Pi 400 into a Commodore Amiga using Pimiga and have been transported back to 1994. Cannon Fodder, Chaos Engine and Speedball 2 are all still brilliant 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James in Brum Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Take the kids out for a walk, entertain them otherwise and cook and bits of cleaning for today. Tomorrow is tip run from the allotment followed by allotment time away from family. A bit of time without the responsibility not all present. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

husoi Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 As promised here I am bragging about my new satnav carrier pouch Reinforced front so the screen is protected.

Gerontious Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Funnily enough, I got a hard case with my Zumo, came with the unit in the box. never used it. I see they now cost £25. (wow) as for saving the screen.. if you keep the unit for any length of time then the screen will be damaged, by your gloved fingers. if you want to prevent that put a film on it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That looks anything but genuine leather but £25 is good enough for plastic hard case Oddly enough, Garmin says they advise against screen protector Using a Third Party Screen Protector with the zumo XT Third-party screen protectors may cause touchscreen issues when it is raining. The zumo XT screen was calibrated to be sensitive to work with gloves and was not tested to work with screen protectors. Also, it is hidden in the warranty T&C that using a screen protector will affect the warranty. Adding a screen protector or a anti-glare film is identified as an alteration to the device and the warranty will be void. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adding a screen protector or a anti-glare film is identified as an alteration to the device and the warranty will be void. The technology is exactly the same as used on any modern smart phone. To avoid warranty issues, remove it before returning it to the service department at Southampton, of course the only reason to use a film is to protect the screen from glove damage. If you don't mind that happening. then don't bother,. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
