But Richard you would then be taking away the thrill of forgetting about them and having them break in a few years

Thats well over 100k sitting there
Wow, I have a lot of tools, but nothing remotely like that. Of course I am a home tinkerer and only work on my stuff. If I work on on other peoples cars I charge 10,000 per hour an I work slow. So far no one has hired me for that.

For water sprinkler installation I charge 100,000 per hour. I put in my own system, and that is all I am ever gonna do.

Yea, when I did my engine swap I had more cuts on my hands and arms than I could imagine. I only noticed new wounds when I saw blood on the floor.

brrr
I've had enough of these cold mornings....another minus something today (-3.5C yesterday), frost everywhere again.
Just a few more weeks and it'll be warming up again.

My outdoor spa has now decided to leak - I think the roots from the nearby orange tree have got into the plumbing.....gunna have to fix that sooner than later.

mmm...instant coffee...

With all the dollars wasted on BS around here, you'd think they'd install a proper coffee machine
