Dunno about behind the couch. I’ve just had a large daddy longlegs drop out of the sky (well, ceiling) onto my keyboard. Unfortunately, for it, reaction kicked in and it was rapidly squashed.

Speaking of dates…son’s fiancée has 2 birth dates. The one she was born on and the one that is officially registered with the government. Apparently in South Korea your birthday is the day that the parents submit the paperwork. Her dates are 20 days apart.

So which one counts for stuff like being old enough to get your drivers licence, enroll to vote, drink alcohol in a pub … and things like that?

Temp is down to 27. Lowest it has been for eight days.

d’n‘o’ about all that but having a look at the forecast, wtf, this is some bullshit of a rain downgrade

Good morning Holidayers. Presently 10 degrees at the back door and overcast. We are forecast a cloudy 19 degrees today. Which is fine by me.

Going to the bush to bring back the ride-on slasher and my bush mower for them to visit their mechanic.

We’re going grocery shopping today. Mini Me has made a list of things to do to tidy up the yard. Mr Mutant wants to go to Bunnings; he needs to fix the light fitting in Mini Me’s room after she accidentally broke it.

Her new room (my old study) is a bit smaller than her old bedroom. She has a loft bed, and that room has a lower part of the ceiling over the window for some reason, so her bed is close to the light. She turned in bed in such a way that she knocked the light fitting, the bulb came out, and broke a small piece of the fitting so that the bulb no longer goes in.

Yep. They can choke your oesophagus and also your arse sphincter.

If eaten raw, they should be mixed with a lot of salad type stuff.

Another food that can do this is the prickly pear fruit. An old Italian told me he loves the fruit but hates the constipation. The seed blocked him up.

No X-rays since Jan 9. Next one, probably end of this month. It has crossed my mind the physio is rushing things; he said I didn’t need to wear the splint at all anymore so I asked the ortho, who said I should definitely be wearing it at certain times.

Today the pain is definitely muscular, there’s no pain at the fracture site, I can feel the trigger points within the muscle belly, and upon massage my fingers twitch. Nevertheless I will bring it up with the physio at my next appointment.

Physios can look like they are magicians at times and at others maybe questionable.

Rare for them to ask for x-rays. Though once my physio said, “I’m not touching that until you get it X-rayed”.
GP muttered, “Physios.. Look you literally cannot break bones in your foot easily as the foot is very flexible. You’d need such force that you’d snap a leg bone first”.

I not only still have a bone spur sticking up from that point but I’ve also since fractured my fifth metatarsil and when I asked, it apparently is the most commonly broken foot bone and the most difficult to heal.

My physio has an x-ray referral pad. Helpful for when the ortho takes six week vacations or I’ve forgotten to ask the ortho receptionist for a referral.

Might see the ortho next week or so depending if WorkCover approve the ExoGen machine.

Yeah. Those physios love to get you exercising as soon as pos… and stretching. I’d be taking it fairly easy until you see an x-ray showing some more healing. Broken bones get “sticky” very quickly but they can also tear apart quite easily.

That sounds ok but I’d querying your ortho as to why it’s not healing well. There are a heap of reasons for poor healing… I reckon they should be doing x-rays much more often, and consider asking for a second opinion.

That sounds ok but I’d querying your ortho as to why it’s not healing well. There are a heap of reasons for poor healing… I reckon they should be doing x-rays much more often, and consider asking for a second opinion.

Oh, I’ve questioned. Standard answer is, “sometimes it happens”. I’ve never smoked, otherwise generally healthy, am taking calcium supplements, radial injuries can take freaking forever… and I’m not 20 years old anymore. Ortho did say it’s not indicated to have an osteoporosis/osteopenia test buuuuuut I wonder about that too.

We are back. It’s getting gusty now (in the 50s) and trying to rain. I’ll believe it when I get wet from it. Not hot though, about 17 degrees.

Got a few pictures of plants, some insects, a caterpillar. I should see how they went.

So far the radiologist has only picked up the beginnings of arthritis lol. And out of all the reports, only one mentions it, the second most recent one.

Today I plan to….
1. Cut my fingernails, and maybe my toenails.
2. Finalise the names of my future kittens.
3. Be nice to my laptop, hopefully it will be nice to me.
4. Look for a new “meh” sticker for my new laptop.

Current sticker before I applied it to my current laptop.

So how hot was it last week?

Guardian Australia did the experiment.

Filming a Frosty Fruit in 48C heat. Spoiler alert: the camera couldn’t handle it

Hang about while I crop my photos…I saw bracken fern today that had burnt. I’ve seen it brown off and die off and all the usual parts of its life cycle. But this must have actually burnt in the sun last Tuesday.

Photo to come.

Here we go. You can see the normal Summer browning off, but the pale stuff appears to be sunburnt.

We’ve got two cheap ciggies shops in town. For ages now, the ciggies I get were $45 for a box of 100. The other shop is $50 for the same thing.

Now here’s the dish…….

Cuppla weeks ago, my ciggies shop dropped the price to $40 (instead of $45). Way kewlies.

Go in this week to get my ciggies, and my shop has now dropped the price to $30 (from $45) for a box of $100. that is now their permanent price. 😮😮

Wah dafuq?

How fuel efficient are small jet turbines?

In the 60’s Chrysler built a turbine engine car but it wasn’t very practical.

Now with hybrid electric vehicles, a small turbine running a generator should be quiet, efficient and compact.

But hey, I just dig holes, what would I know.

Michael V said:

Kingy said:

Ironstone concretion.

I should point out that ironstone concretions often have roughly concentric layers of ironstone, and the erosion has exposed bits of some of those concentric layers. That’s what has formed the unusual pattern.

They form in sedimentary rocks through a variety of processes where dissolved iron (Fe2+) travelling in pore water, precipitates out as Fe3+ due to a change in pH/Eh conditions. That is, a change in acidity and/or dissolved oxygen.

I can’t help thinking that when the Fe²⁺ forms a circular ring, you’d have a ferrous wheel.

I think the waste heat might be a problem. They are never going to be efficient unless some effort is made to extract energy from the hot exhaust gases to make some extra power. This is already being done in fixed plant gas turbine power stations using steam, but the really exciting technology is going to be supercritical CO2 heat engines. Small and compact, high power to weight ratio they could find uses in shipping and transportation.

New study finds plastic pollution may contribute to harmful algae blooming

A new study from the University of California San Diego (UCSD) has found petroleum-based plastic pollution may be contributing to the blooming of harmful algae.

Dangerous concentrations of algae have been emerging around the world, with a region in South Australia experiencing a nine-month toxic algae bloom which has caused thousands of deaths across marine species.

Hope you didn’t put your best foot forward,

Although Mr Foot Doctor has given me a referral for a CT scan on the same ankle. It feels “sprained/twisted” all the time and I have to be careful how I step off high gutters and stuff…

Fair enough too, I couldn’t even step off a normal height gutter without hurting myself.

Cut them both off mid-calf. Then you’ll know what it is like to be a normal-height person.

The one he bought me I never used and sold it to Mr PTSD.

My son has tried various things to help it it, he muttered something at me and said get a new one. All I have to do is tell him what screen size and how many $$$ and he’ll arrange to buy me one.

Good morning Holidayers. Presently 5 degrees at the back door and lightly overcast. The wind has dropped. We are forecast a mostly sunny 24 degrees today.

My knee is complaining again this morning – it’s possible it didn’t particularly enjoy my efforts yesterday helping push the ride-on slasher up the ramps onto the trailer. So there will be some sitting down done today while it thinks about itself.

Sunny with a top of 30. Uni starts today and if I’m not called in, I’ll watch the Grammys. Arm seems ok.

And apparently this afternoon will be quite breezy. It’s still now. And smells like rain so either we got some overnight or someone’s left the sprinkler on.

Morning, the weather is strange, it’s raining Jeffrey Epstein files again.

I liked Wonder Man, highly recommend.

Jason Pargin observed, in relation to Sinners, that the mark of a good supernatural horror movie:

“You just ask yourself a very simple question… when you’re watching the beginning part before the monsters show up, ‘would I keep watching this story even if no horror stuff happened? Are these characters and is this world developed enough that you would watch just for them?’ Sinner blows this out of the water… And when the vampires arrive, and this is what the best horror does so well, you’re almost disappointed because you kind of wish you could just watch this. “

I think we can say this for Wonder Man, mutatis mutandis. It’s written and run by Andrew Guest who did so much work for Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Without the super-stuff, it’s a story about a struggling young actor being mentored by an old actor with a troubled past: trust, betrayal, redemption etc.

Not everything Ben Kingsley has been in has been great but I’ve never seen him turn in a poor performance. Yahya I’ve only seen in Black Mirror, Watchmen and Aquaman, but a drama about actors gives him the opportunity to show off his range.

Bit of weather. 10° cooler than yesterday. Wind getting up in arvo.

For a long time, RAN ships were painted with AS2700 N42 Storm Grey

which had a slight greenish tinge to it.

Several years back, this was changed to FS36270 Haze Grey

a rather ‘greyer’ grey, which has some compositional improvements, and which is similar to the colour used by ‘allied’ navies.

the term “battleship grey” covers all the variants. so Haze Grey is a battleship grey variant.

Navies consume vast quantities of paint.

It’s rated as a ‘consumable’, which effectively means that there’s no limit to the amount that actual floating ships can order. Shore establishments usually have a defined per-year allowance.

Somewhat meta moment was when Yahya was talking to Joe Pantoliano about his role in The Matrix, as the former appears as Morpheus in The Matrix Resurrections.

Spent three-quarters of an hour trying to pay the vic roads bill.

Rego page took car/truck, rego number, submit, then it returned to the rego page again, and it kept doing that, had to update the app, redo the pin, wouldn’t except one method of payment, had to try another way, and when it finally excepted the payment It would not download the receipt.

Well rego is paid, I had to log in to the bank to check.

Feeling very unhappy now.

Had trouble last year, will look forward to next year’s payment.

Sky is looking angry out there, my friends. Radar shows a storm passing westerer and northerer of here.

Someone greenlit the song Killing Me Softly for use during the In Memoriam section of the Grammys. It was during the Roberta Flack portion, however there were other deceased people shown during the song.

Slash, Duff McKagan, and Post Malone performed War Pigs (I think? I’m not a Black Sabbath fan) during the Ozzy Osbourne section. Did not recognise Kelly Osbourne in the audience, only realising it was her when the camera panned to Sharon next to her.

So how do you get it off when you want to get it off?

Baby oil

Always wondered about baby oil.

I mean, i’ve never seen a squeaky baby.

idk acetone doesn’t sound like it would be good for the skin

Blow a dog off a chain.

so next time we split our scalp or get some other fat lac’ we should just tell the emergency doctors to fix us up with some tittape

Well it’d have to be better that that stuff that is normally used; it falls off after 15 minutes due to sweat, even on a cold day.

It’s best to use baby oil made with real babies, but I suppose acetone made from real aces will suffice.

Probably not. I have some and hate having to use it but sometimes there’s no choice.

Honestly, i don’t think that i’d ever encountered even the concept of ‘nipple tape’ until now, and i’ve learnt so much…

Rather more than is necessary, perhaps.

Why did you eye need to be glued? Did it fall out or something?

Nah the gazebo fell on my head, cut just underneath my eyebrow.

Same here.

I took the kite out for a test earlier, having made some significant changes to it.

First try showed promise, for about four seconds until the spreader bar snapped under the strain. Not entirely unexpected, it was only thin wooden dowel.

Replaced that with a tougher plastic rod, and it actually flew. Had it aloft for a couple of minutes, and then one of the wooden dowel wing spars snapped.

I think that it will need to have a tail of some sort, for longitudinal stability. The wooden dowels will be replaced with plastic rod, possibly with coat-hanger wire down their hollow centres for added strength.

And i’ll have to get some cut-resistant gloves from Bunnings. The thin, strong poly twine i’m using for the kite string made short work of the gardening gloves i was wearing.

Spalding Jr. is a rather good guitarist. Largely self-taught, but has had numerous lessons from someone at Qld Conservatorium of Music.

He’s at the stage where he’s looking towards guitars beyond the beginner/fledgling stage, in the couple-of-thousand-dollars range.

Nice! This year in music, Mini Me starts learning guitar. If she gets into the high school music excellence program, she’ll learn a whole bunch of different instruments. Right now she plays viola, recorder, alto recorder, clarinet and bass clarinet.

Getting angry with something like that is a sign of wanting to do better at it.

She might benefit from the 30-minute rule.

I asked a bloke about how he built such exquisite models of ships. Big ones, with motors in them, and radio control, that you could drive around ponds and such. Incredibly detailed and accurate, in scale.

He said ’30 minute limit’.

Never spend more than 30 minutes on it. If you don’t get ‘into the groove’ with it before that, it’s just not the right time.

Even if you do get into the groove, stop at 30 minutes. After that, you’ll begin to weary of it, and to make mistakes that will just cost you more effort than they’re worth.

Come back to it later, sure, that’s great, shows you’re still keen on it. But, 30 minutes at a time, that’s it.

We use Wurth brand cutting gloves at work for anything that involves sharp cutting blades like Stanley knives. I make the juniors wear them too.

At home I use leather riggers gloves for general shed and around the house type work.
