Re: Home made BBQ Smoker

To be honest, when it's at the right temperature, there's barely any smoke. Smoke is a pollutant, so is noise, and my neighbours are noisy, but I don't hose then down, much as I'd like to!

I've been after a proper smoker BBQ for ages but always been shocked at the price, so, I decided to get my Hipster on and break out the welder!

It's two gas cylinders, free from a friendly local...

Re: Mach Loop today

Never left, just don't have as much to say these days. You have to be wary of social media in my job, especially with back biting, spinless colleague.

A day outside in the sun. Working in the park, clearing the garden, trips to the tip with the rubbish, house tidy.

Beer in the garden in the warm sun.

Chicken schnitzel for tea.

Do you get belly button fluff?

A random poll with no scientific necessity, but the result of a discussion with my wife at bedtime the other day.

I get a fluffy belly button and take deep joy in pulling it out. She, on the...

She's a Springador. Half Springer Spaniel, half Labrador. Also, half fish 'cos whenever there's water, she jumps in! including the lake in the other photo.

Re: The Org Bar, Pull up a chair and share. What're you drinking?

Homebrew.

Bombay IPA brewed a few weeks ago, just perfect in the glass now. Crystal clear, perfect head, great gob fulls of hops and a really floral finish.

Not bad for less than 50p per pint!...

It's even better in original format before YouTube gets it! As for night vision, I'm on nights tonight, so I'll post some video up tomorrow.

Amazon delivery arrived nice and early at 10.30, so I've spent the morning fitting the camera. Wired to a switched live via the secondary fusebox, all wiring hidden behind the headlining.

Re: The all new photo a day 2016!

Re: Show us your 'past' bikes.

I'm going to get a proper scooter and "do it up" one day.

My two and only bikes...
