Change of plan for today folks, today I am going to make a smoker ( maybe if it goes to plan ) from an old biscuit tin and the wire mesh from an old grill pan

This is deserves a DIY ( nothing biking it technical for @fastbob )  thread post pics let us know how you get on... 

 

 

[dynax]

So far so good, ready to do a bit of welding after dinner

to many do's not enough don't lol

My diy smoker is now finished barring a clean with a wire wheel, so looking forward to try this out

Just been through all my bees - they were very calm today, even the hive that is usually a bit frisky. Lots of spring honey coming in. I had a hive last year that did nothing so I just let them be and gave them a second chance this year. They seen to have suddenly figured things out and they are building up nicely. I had to add a super on them today - last year they didn't even get that far. Strange things bees.

Going to be getting some local honey myself to try in the smoker

[Mr Fro]

I finished up my dissertation. 

 

If anyone wants to know anything about diesel ICE hybrids vs electric vehicles, I'm your man.

[dynax]

Additional bonus got myself a slightly smaller tin, so now I also have a bike size BBQ

 

One BBQ

 

One firepit for the smoker

Wel done. I remember submitting mine and collapsing, I think I did about 50 hours through with a one and a half hour sleep to get it finished.

Modern diesel is better in terms of power consumption from primary fuel given the efficiencies of EV chargers and losses in energy production.

 

EV however has lower net carbon emissions per unit distance but not by much. It's only something like 36kg carbon per year in it.

 

A modern diesel car with brake energy recovery and exhaust energy recovery would dick all over EV in both cases.

 

Happy motoring y'all.

Shit planning son.

 

Just got the exams to get through now. We had mocks last week - when we got the thermodynamics paper the class as a whole went "Aaaaaaaaah... shit".

Game on mate!

Its already £0 road tax and getting 52 mpg around town so we are happy with that 

 

They all market these EV's with huge mpg figures which most probably won't achieve

Yup, that and I for months could not work out how to do it. How was it different to a standard essay. 
eventually an already qualified chum leant me theirs and I could get started but had a lot to do. 

[S-Westerly]

This weekend is crocked as I have to do an audit. I bloody hate audits.

[Mississippi Bullfrog]

A bimble to Rhug, then Bala and the road to Ffestiniog, Pentrefoelas and back over the Denbigh moors.

[husoi]

Finish fitting new neutral and OD switches into the shadow.

 

Finish the wheel lock for the trailer ahead of my week off

start (or continue) rebuilding the metal shed.

This along with what I'll be asked as the weekend goes on 

[NeilM]

Coast.

The kids want to get the kayak n SUP out.

I will try to not don my wetsuit.....

I will observe from a safe distance, all the while contemplating the gin I will consume later in the day.

[dynax]

Nothing happened again today, so the weekend has to have something to offer. Cleethorpes or Bust

I have been trying out various combinations for taking my fishing gear on the bike, basically trying to travel as light as possible I think I might have got it now but still a lot to take. main problem is a change of clothing, don't really want to be fishing in my biking gear, and I definitely don't want to compromise on riding without it
