Scam telephone calls
We have a Panasonic phone system that does a good job of blocking unwanted callers.
However over the last few months the Panasonic base station has been busy announcing 'Call from private caller' and they seem to be increasing!

Not often I drink beer
Came in from outside a bit overheated after doing some odd jobs like changing chook food and water then some gardening and watering. Looked inside the fridge and noticed two Crown Lagers at the bottom of the fridge door - left over from last summer.
One Crown larger perfectly fills two of the smaller tumblers from the ALDI glass set for ET and me 

Cheers

OK…I’m back to my blog.
UPDATE 16th August 2022: I am moving from WordPress to Blogger (BlogSpot)
Last month I exported my data out of WordPress and imported here - into Blogger.
https://www.facebook.com/AlsWorkshop
Currently working my way through the month of June.
Last September (2016) my workshop burnt down…lost everything and since then have not felt like even maintaining my blog. Anyway…insurance covered everything both building and contents but it took nearly 6 months just to replace the shed AKA garage. Insurance company was fantastic but the nominated restoration company was a bit slack…but in the end everything turned out well.
The new shed (workshop) has four skylights with two windows at the rear…let there be light, and underground power from the house with power points and two twin fluro lights all fitted – nice. In a way I was lucky with Masters closing down it was a good time to go shopping, I bought a heap of stuff off them…up to 80-90% off on hardware and other stuff.

Mower repairs
Victa Briggs & Stratton mulching mower will not start (bugger)
Since the last time I serviced the mower a few years ago it's been running well and now suddenly with no warnings - will not start? There are a couple of things creeping in lately, harder to prime and the recoil starter is dodgy - slack cord.
Removed the cover - the end of the throttle cable needs to be unhooked from the throttle arm.
