Re: What have you done today?

**bubbles19** · by **bubbles19** on Sat 3 Apr 2010 - 1:15

Well today I have been under the bonnet of the wifes car. Wipers have been playing up the last few days and this has been the 1st day I have been able to look at it, that and it is dry today lol!

- works fine when you have them going all the time but they stick halfway through a sweep if on intermittent.

Went to the local dealer thinking it might be the relay but they are 99% confident it is the motor which they want £120 + £60 fitting for affraid

Have managed to track down one from a breakers yard 30 miles away complete with the full linkage for £60 + Vat

Wonder what I'll be doing either this afternoon or on my Bank Holiday Monday off

**bubbles19** · by **bubbles19** on Sat 3 Apr 2010 - 5:37

Well went and got the parts today - £70 in total.

came home and got them fitted in less than 1hr..........and more surprisingly - it works lol!

Wonder if I can keep the £110 I saved as pocket money rotflmao

Monday morning here (public hol.)and in at work doing a spot check on the plant. Hose clean screens, empty a very full coarse screen bin (you don't want to know what's in it !) Check plant trends. All is well so once I finish here I'll head home through a couple of coastal towns 'chock-a-block' with rubber necks and cyclist riding 2 to 4 abreast on the open roads (fools!). I like riding my bike, but not like that !!
Get home and finish my cat enclosure... Yeah !!and listen to the footy.
Yesterday, the tribe took M.I.Law for a picnic down to Queenscliff. Found a quiet spot next to the rails and watched a couple of old steam trains go past. Been a great Easter weather-wise.

Have a fairly good idea what's in your coarse screen bill having had to unblock our drains a few times tonguezzz

Sounds like you are planning on a lazy afternoon - unless you get called out of course Shocked

BTW - did you bring the mother in law back with you ? rotflmao

Hi

I have just destroyed all my backup files.
Unintentionally.
Forget I had the SATA HDD in the docking station.
Playing around installing Linux (various ones for trial).
At least one formatted all my drives.
Though did leave Windows 7, in a partition. rotflmao

**zebadee** · by **zebadee** on Sun 4 Apr 2010 - 23:39

Hi

It is still dawning on me.
Over 12 years of data, programs etc.
Gone.
Some programs had the serials.
As either no longer supported or updated needing new subscriptions.
It is a bummer.
I shall now go & buy more choccie eclairs.
Though the ones half price are cadburys.
So sweeties not cakes.

rotflmao

**bubbles19** · by **bubbles19** on Sun 4 Apr 2010 - 23:43

ain't you never heard of doing a backup

all these tools that you post updates & offers for ?? Hit

so Linux is now Bill Gates re-incarnated as the Devils Spawn help_up_2bigmove

**zebadee** · by **zebadee** on Sun 4 Apr 2010 - 23:52

Hi

That was all my backups on 1TB.
Utils serials etc.
Thought I was being clever putting everything on one drive.
I one stop utils/backup/software library.
Being a HDD dock, I tend to remove drives when not in actual use.
I have had stomach problems so very little sleep in three days.
So a bit zombified currently.
But that certainly woke me up. lol!

by **sanshoe** on Sun 4 Apr 2010 - 23:59

oops, sorry to hear that Zebs

Hi

It serves me right really.
Eating a load of crap during the day, then when I lie down me old guts give it hell to play.
Can't seem to slepp sitting up.
As soon as I start to nod off.
My head drops & I wake up. Shocked

Maybe look for half price RedBull to with the eclairs when your at Tesco bounce

As it was your backup I'm assuming you will be able to re-create most of it again? from your Live systems (assuming you've not fecked them up as well)

by **SavageNFS** on Mon 5 Apr 2010 - 2:19

Sounds like zebadee has had a tough couple of days...

I hope you feel better and restore the "back-ups".

Hi

At least I've made post # 2,900. lol!

by **Alby** on Mon 5 Apr 2010 - 13:01

No good Zeb.
Must've caught mine from you.....
Ate lots of chockys & chips. Made the tum a bit squirly.
Back on the straight and narrow.....

For those of you into the surfing, Today I was held up by a lot of traffic along the 13th Beach Rd only a couple of K's from work. The waves must've been bad at Bells Beach so they moved it up to 13th Beach which is next to Barwon Heads and Ocean Grove. There were Communication trucks, tents etc. Don't know who won.

Well the weather looked fine, just a little windy so I took the bike for a spin. Now I have a job to do later this week, the temp gauge was all over the place, going from 70degs to over heat in seconds then back again. I have had this before and its just a case of taking some of the fairing off then cleaning the contacts in the multipin connector. Also had a problem with the throttle, couldn't seem to get it to stay within legal limits but I think that's a different fix needed.
Alex will be pleased to hear I had no problems with the windscreen wiper. lol!

I dropped a my mountain bike on the hood of my pickup...dents, scratches and bad words followed... Sad

by **Alby** on Tue 6 Apr 2010 - 16:21

Er... wait a minute.
Before I say something smart, the hood.. Is that the lid for the engine? If so we call it the bonnet. That being said what was your bike doing over the hood ?
