Eek. Hopefully it'll be a bit warmer going home.

Here too. Got to go out to a client this morning and I'd hoped to go on the bike but the back lanes around here are currently full of frozen leaves and mud/cowsh!t. Going to have to play safe and take the car instead.

Looked out the window early this morning and the street lamps were making beams of light in the freezing fog, very unusual to see something like that. Must get some more autoglym de-icer as most of the other stuff is next to useless..

Some silly person in my household had obviously clicked on something that installed AVG secure browser, and it hijacked my usual browser.
Just uninstalled it, good job it wasn't anything more sinister

Or a humane mousetrap with peanut butter as bait.

Metalwork / welder friend tried removing my sheared header bolt today. 4 nuts welded on and all broke off when trying to undo the remains of the bolt. Not enough to weld to it seems.
So I set about drilling, with good progress. Starting with smaller bits and working my way up. Difficult upside down on the cold floor for an hour pushing a drill upwards. Worked my way up through sizes and eventually had the whole of the middle drilled out at 2mm, then 4mm. Extractor bolt in and nice and deeply embedded, moving well but no sign of the remains of the original bolt moving... then, aaaaargh! The extractor bolt sheared off! Leaving me with it looking the same way it was when I started! Only the extractor bolt is so hard that I can't even centre punch it to get a starting point for a drill bit to try and drill it out. I can't imagine any drill bits are going to do any more than polish it either. There's now at least 10mm of sheared extractor bolt wedged inside the remains of the sheared bolt! Dammit! . ![]() |
