Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread VI
Dog show today, took Faraday and Cassini, with two of Faraday's puppies, Lucy and Artemis, also entered. Faraday shows as a veteran now, when the entry class is available (dogs 7 years and older), and the tradition is that when they run round the ring, everyone applauds them. She picked up Select, w...

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread VI
Looks like a neat job. A replacement thermostat is available, but access is via the rear of the oven. Normally I'd have no qualms about turning off at t the cb, and replacing it, but I don't fancy doing any heavy work at present. Doesn't look like it has an adjusting screw, but I may take the front...

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread VI
Some of these things depend on how confident you are at reassembling things (dismantling is usually easy...) I've replaced various parts on several domestic appliances over the years - if you can narrow down the fault, use a search engine to look for spares for the model number in question and chanc...

Re: Electric Cars II - Not Silly!
Thieves are targeting high-powered Tesla and other EV charging stations and stealing the heavy cable for the copper metal inside. In Vallejo, someone cut cables from nine charging stations -- leaving Tesla drivers in a bind, and causing tens of thousands of dollars in damage and repair costs. https...

Re: The Duke and Duchess of Sussex
Does anyone still mail checks? :-? :-?? I did last week. Some dog events are still lacking alternative payment methods. Sometimes there's a "convenience fee" for paying on-line, which often encourages me to pay by check because I bet it costs them way more to have to handle a physical check, deposi...

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread VI
Hello from California. Nice warm day today, doesn't seem to be as toasty as yesterday. Did some FastCAT with Faraday this weekend, she's slowing down now, so definitely just for fun rather thank rankings now. However, two of her puppies are currently the fastest Leonbergers in the country this year.

My classic was having the Weapons (including nuclear) Employment Course, NBC Instructor, and a Physics degree, and I'd done some work at Harwell, but still having to do the one day school radiation source supervisor course. Utter waste of everyone's time. But that's box-ticking (or not) for you! My...
