I did look at Remarkable 2 but we use the Kindle Bookstore and didn't want to lose that so went with the Scribe.

But the Kindle one you can't actually write on the documents can you, it's just a pop-up box where you make notes that are associated with the document?

have you thought of getting remarkable 2 or boox 2?
haven't read enough about scribe but the other 2 are on top pf my list.

I was just hearing in a podcast that the Scribe wasn't as good as the reMarkable, then I've just watched a YouTube video comparing the reM to the Boox Note Air 2 and the Air looks much better (if you want to be able to do much more). For example, it looks like you can install the Kindle app and Google Play Books app and read and listen to audiobooks from the Boox Air 2.

I don't know I'd use one enough, but they really intrigue me.

I vacuum them after every use :p I think I gave them a little wipe down before that pic too. Our house doesn't have an inch of plasterboard thankfully and hopefully never will.

This past weekend I cut all the tongues off these floorboards, then ripped some battens on the new table saw from pallet wood. Luckily there's a lot of renos in our neighbourhood so there are plenty of free pallets laying around. This weekend I will start cutting and laying insulation before running the floorboards through the thickness planer and laying them back down.

I didn't, that's why I bought a new one. The heavy tool use has only come in the last few weeks and I had plenty of different little jobs to do while I let the battery charge. The new capacity and just having two batteries makes a huge different. My wife was pre-drilling the insulation battens for example while I was attaching them to the joists.

I bought another new tool too, this is more to try a bit of furniture making once the house work is done. Will probably test out on the rolling table saw stand I want to build soon.

What's wrong with PB?

Thanks for the info.

I found a comparison of using different dryers

  • An example 9kg vented tumble dryer uses 5.34 kWh for a full load cycle and approx 636 kWh over a year (if you use your dryer around two times a week). This means that this vented tumble dryer costs £1.82 per cycle and £216 per year on average.
    In April, it was £1.50 per cycle and in November 2021, it was just £1.07 per cycle.
  • An example 9kg condenser tumble dryer uses 5.2 kWh for a full load and approx 617 kWh annually. This means a cost of £1.77 per cycle and £209.78 annually – that's almost as much as a vented model.
    In April, it was £1.46 per cycle, and in November, it was £1.04.
  • An example 9kg heat pump tumble dryer uses 2.16 kWh for a full load and 259 kWh per year. This means that you’ll be spending just 73p per cycle and £88.06 per year. Based on the April figures, this used to be 60p per cycle and 43p a cycle back in November.
you can see from the above that a heatpump dryer will cost a LOT less than other types, even if they run longer.

Are Heatpump dryer costs far less to run as we try to always only use it in the cheap rate electric (economy 12)
My bosch heat pump dryer is only 800watts and it normally only takes between 1hr to 1 1/2hr to dry the clothes at around 9.5p kw/unit

So it should cost me between 9.5p to 15p per cycle if i got my number right

But of cause the more you put in the dryer the longer it will take to dry.

So a heat pump uses 3kwh less?

So that's 50p.

I think that convinces me I made the right choice with a condenser.

Probably run the dryer 30 times a year. (never in summer). That's about 90 KWh
At 25p a KWh thats what? 20-25 pounds a year saved? Would have to keep the machine a lot of years to recoup the outlay.


But if its a busy house it make sense.

I'll not spend that in my life time on jackets.

You obviously don’t require one. Hill walking/mountaineering it’s essential for a decent jackets.

Decent gore tex jacket will be >£300 and a down jacket >£200 that’s £500 right away and they aren’t going to last a life time, they’ll last a hell of an amount of time and they’ll get more expensive. You can get a decent synthetic filled jacket that’ll be shower proof but you always want to have your outershell with you in case the heavens do open!

Canada Goose since it got bought over it changed to a fashion brand - hence all the people getting robbed for them because of the price that shot up with it.

I always find it quite amusing when I see someone in a C.G jacket with >625 filled down casually walking down the street to the pub they must be boiling, things are designed for -20°C not a general autumn day.

I wince at the amount I've spent on mountaineering kit, then it always ends up with holes in from thrutching up rock or catching something on an icescrew etc.
 
The outside drain that my kitchen sink, dishwasher and washing machine empties into is well and truly blocked, so..

It connects to my pressure washer, and is doing a good job so far..

Quite a decent sized fat-berg removed so far (the rest of stuff in the pic is also fat), but unfortunately it's still blocked despite all 15 M of hose going down the drain, so I may have to attack it from the septic tank end instead.
There was a piece of glass in the drain which nearly took the end of my finger off, so I'll have to resume fat busting duties tomorrow.
Fwiw I try not to put fat/oil down the drain, so I'm guessing that's a culmination of many many years of the previous owners doing exactly that.

Looks like that should be part of a regular maintanance routine if it is getting that bad.
