Microwave rescue - Part 1

Collected this microwave from across the road during our annual waste collection.

Goodbye Pixie (2009 - 2022)

Yesterday was a very sad day for us, we had to say goodbye to Pixie our beautiful mini pin. She has been doing quite well coping with Cushing's disease. Sadly was also recently diagnosed with Diabetic Ketoacidosis. Her big companion left her last year but now they are together again - RIP's

The house is empty now, she is the last of our indoor pets.

At the vet with Pixie.

She is not well and we are worried :-(

 

Madras beef curry-

 Also cooked basmati rice

Using for the first time this Kmart stock pot.

Laminar flow water jet - revisited

Cleaning up around the garden shed and came across this water feature that's been neglected for the last 8 years - time flies!
 

The special hand-made brass nozzle jet that allows for undisturbed water flow - is missing! I just made another simplified nozzle jet from a steel washer; countersunk, ground and then polished. See my blog link at the end for the 2014 project build.

External HDD to USB

Arrived today refurbished Seagate 500GB SATA III for $14.50

Blank drive no partition so hung it off the workshop PC.

Partitioned and format OK so that's a good start LOL

See end of post for details.

Need another bail of hay

We took a nostalgic trip today to Discount Animal Supplies in Lysterfield. The trip brought back many memories of when we did horses for over 20 years - Crikey. At one point we even agisted our horses just down the road from DAS.

This trip was simply to buy a bail of straw and cracked maize for our one and only chook - Speckles.

All the rest have crossed the road and gone over that bridge RIP.

Usually I get hay but this time went for straw.
