[Nigella Bryant]

What else, but play around with automating your mount, lol. 

[maw lod qan]

There is this as well!

Probably less frustrating than trying to get all the software, focuser, eqmod, filter wheel and telescope mount, etc, etc, talking to each other and staying that way, lol.

From automating mount to automating my roll-off-roof here or rather making parts for it.  Not outdoor work with is tongling down and windy with it!!

[johninderby]

Work out where to mount the electronic control modules in the 1:6 scale Tiger tank and make up the battery and motor leads.

1:6 scale?  Does that mean it's about a metre long?

James

[johninderby]

Including the barrel 137cm long and about 170kg when finished. 😬

Dad said the full scale model was quite frightening! Preferred to not be looking at the front end if he could help it.

Repairing the floor in the toilet block. At least it's an indoor job.    😀

[DaveS]

Making my first attempt at bread baking. No machines involved.

I did that once and it turned out really well 🙂   I was afraid I'd peaked too soon and haven't tried again 😋

Multi-tasking..... shopping, installing TheSkyX in the observatory (remotely of course) and working!

The result. Must try harder, D- See me.

It doesn't look horrible, even if it isn't perfect.  What's it like inside?

James

[DaveS]

Still too hot to cut, but when I cautiously tapped the bottom it sounded hollow.

[Davey-T]

Taken ten bags of stuff to the tip, thought it wouldn't be very busy as it was raining but it was rammed

At some point I've got to drop an ASA dovetail (125 x 400 mm) into the post office to send off to OOUK for them to mount the ODK 12 they're building onto.

[Alan White]

Sitting watching birds on the Estuary as we pack up to come home from holiday.

The bird watching is the favourite option at present.

That bread baking has made me feel hungry 😋

I'm looking for alternatives to polyester and glassing my slightly leaky wooden dome.
The paint has not adhered well to the primer and the birch ply is blackening on the inside.
I'm presently looking at solvent welding green PVC tarpaulin gores over the plywood dome.
Car wrapping film? Taping the seams. Or ageing too quickly to even care any more.
I suppose there's always Yoga or meditation: Ohhmmm.

Bare feet and crocodile fishing seems like an unfortunate combination. We'll just have to hope you don't catch one..

You might have needed those for a flood barrier at this rate.      😀

[Nigella Bryant]

My duck's are loving the rain though and the cat's taking a rest, well, the cat's actually chilled out on catnip, lol

Good grief what's in that lake? With tackle like that I do wonder.
