This Instant And Moment - 2025!

Almost finished the design of my acoustic guitar. As always I overcomplicate things for kicks and giggles. Scale drawing so I can decide if I want 4.0 degree or 3.0 degree neck angle.. the later would allow the carbon fibre truss rods to go right to the end of the fretboard.
It’s like building a box and bow but t has to cope with 199lbs (90kg) of string tension 24/7 and cope with temperature and humidity changes.
 
That sinking feeling when you buy something online, and they don’t state who the carrier is, and then the “We’ve got your parcel” email from Evri drops. Always feels like they shortened the subject by leaving out “be a shame if something bad happened to it”.

Mate, knowing what you do for a living please don't start your posts with 'sinking feeling'!

On my bedside table I have a lamp and a dab radio. When the led bulb is on the radio gets severe interference. Apparently led does that. Time to try older bulb tech.

Edit: CFL ftw

Made some butteries, not had them in about 20 years since the last time I went to the north of Scotland to see family

Learnt a new compound noun today. Roadmen, I always thought it was the men with picks and shovels sent to fix the holes.

Come to Swindon you'll see plenty of Roadmen, in both terms :p

Plenty of potholes for the Roadmen and plenty of Siron electric bikes and balaclavas for the other type of Roadmen :p
 
Don’t know if I’m just sleep deprived and grumpy but GD has been irking lately, it’s like wading through the comments section of GB News or something. Hats off to the mods for putting up with it.
Its just a reflection of what is happening in society/social media etc. You can tell the ones who only consume X and GB news as their sources.
 
Lovely evening out on the bike doing some trails in wentwood forest.




Is there actually still a lot of wooded area down there? from age of 10 to about 25 ish i used to go down there a lot as i used to live in a village about 5 mins drive from it, walks, some camping, some bike riding, friends for BBQ's in the summer, even went to a rave that my mates put on down there. And during one summer back then i even took a generator down there myself and took my pioneer CDJ setup and had a blast with some friends :D

However they started cutting down a lot of the forrest and wooded areas.

Probably smaller. But as woods go now it felt big. And not just plantation. That's the best bit. You get big woods that are just plantation and they suck.

You can definitely explore it all on a bike in a day. But on an ebike you'll run out of battery! :D

Loads of little unmarked trails though. Which is my favourite thing to explore. As get some action and views in one location.

Nice, glad you had fun, is the reservoir still down there and in use?
 
What is the point of notifying the courier company to leave the parcel in your safe place if they don't bother adhering to that?
Instead, the delivery driver simply leaves it on the doorstep.
