    It's been really hot lately. Here is a pic of the temp in my bakkie the other day That's around 40C And here is the temp at 9:30 this morning in my workshop. 86F is only 30C, but the 90% humidity is the killer. Instant sweat. But today I pulled the deck off my mower so I could sharpen...

    Nah, in that respect its way safer than SA. Very few venomous snakes, no scorpions that I know of, and even the mozzies rarely carry dengue fever. It is treatable, and shouldn't kill you like malaria. Even the gators are pussies compared to Nile crocs .

    At the back of the shop / warehouse we have a small retention pond. Rufus and Jacques are the two little alligators that live in it, and Noodle is the snapping turtle 😎

    Wow, an exciting day! It all started off when I touched a squirrel this morning! Well, I touched it's tail... You see, it was hiding from Mrs. Zog and I by hiding behind a 2x4 post in the garden. But I saw 4 little feet holding onto the 2x4, and just the tip of a tail sticking out. So very...

    Today I built the two doors for the cabinet I made last weekend. Some scraps of pine, and a piece of 3mm plywood left over from a boat project. I didn't bother with any fancy joinery, its just "shop furniture". I used my Kreg pocket hole jig to join the rales and styles together, and I just...

    Its not conduit. That water pipe is schedule40 PVC. Its rated to around 150 psi for the 3/4" pipe. We also get thinner walled PVC, mainly used for low pressure irrigation applications. We also get something in between for drain lines, sewers, and vent lines. We also get schedule 80 PVC...

    The next project was to help save my back. Originally when I set up the two red toolboxes I placed them above each other. This was fine, it did save some space, but it was killing my back to bend down each time I needed a tool from the bottom box. So I decided to try and position them...

    I took some pics for y'all over the weekend. The "Queen of the Night" bloomed again on Friday night. The aroma from this flower is stunningly beautiful... And some projects. I have told y'all about how I keep myself busy in my workshop over the weekends, just small simple projects that are...

    Work has literally been a shitshow with the new software app we have to use. With month-end and inventory it was a nightmare to get the right data to come through. So I had several very long days in the office this week, thankfully it was inside in the AC and not out in the heat and humidity...

    Re: Captain Zef's in Michigan USA

    I watch a couple of YouTube channels that feature cops chasing crooks. One is Scooper, featuring the Florida Highway Patrol, another that I can't remember the name of shows chases by the Arkansas State Police. Both these departments have no problem PIT-ing vehicles. They are pretty good at it...

    My African Dream - reporting from Haiti

    I remember my first solo flight as a flight engineer on the Alo III. The same kind of insecurity and almost terror that I might screw something up. But after a year it was second nature, and the monthly emergency drills were so ingrained into my head that I could do them in my sleep...

    The bike is gone. Sold. Guy didn't even try to haggle the price. I started it for him, took it up and down the street, then he took a ride and when he stopped he said "I'm taking it". Handed over 20 x $50 bills. I'll save that money to use for materials to rebuild the garden shed this December...
