My father used to work for the water company in Medan, North Sumatra. He went up to Lake Toba (I guess that the area got the water from that lake) many times. Over the years, he never stopped to tell...
Interesting reading material about the biggest volcano eruption in 'modern' history. Ejected material was found over 4500 sq. kilometers. In comparison: Mount Krakatoa's explosion in the late 19th...
^^^ This ^^^. But then again, I'm an old man.
My wife studied psychology at Harvard and I've worked with young adults on a SEN school, with pupils who had been sentenced by a judge. After my...
A mix ‘n’ (not) match of Ikea, Hema and other no-name stuff that comes from the local supermarket. Total value: less than a tenner I guess.
We use it for nearly 30 yrs now. And we see no reason to...
Every Sunday afternoon, Dominic Chinea posts a vlog on YT about his Porsche restoration, his built of a Ranalah sheet metal working machine or an other item about 'skills' and today about leather...
I am welding every day now. And I can see progress. Or better: I can hear progress. Slowly but surely, I start to understand which 'hissing noise' I need for proper welds.
About finding a course:...
I picked up the table that I'd bought from a second-hand site. A heavy item: the forklift truck's scale showed 98 kilos... Luckily I have an engine crane, so I wasn't too worried about how to get the...
My youngest an I wanted to go as well. But we were late for the party. Only 'iffy' seats @ a fortune.
Angus lives nearby where I live. His wife is from this part of the country. It's normal to...
The Big Names Hotels are grouped around the Arena (booking.com has enough to offer) You can expect what you can expect from them in every other city around the world. Some are @ walking distance (0.5...
6/6. But I guess it's rigged.

I need what's called 'slappers'... and a device I don't know the name of: not a bead roller with two wheels, but something two wheels that 'folds' an edge into a piece of metal. But I've seen clever...
it's absolute fun to learn and do this. I need to weld on one of my cars. And my 2001 Jimny is up for it's annual (Dutch) MoT... Older Jimny's and rust go hand-in-hand.
Last week, I managed to buy...
My father teaches me the fine art of welding when I was young. He ran a shipyard but was a great welder himself. Over the years, I lost interest. Then I became involved in the ownership of a classic...
I have an aunt (she was married with my mom's younger brother) and she is having her 100th b'day today. She received more than a handful cards from people wishing her a happy 25th birthday...

I am with you. And I have my doubts when it comes to road safety: an easy way to hit the back of another car waiting for the lights when your foot slips off the pedal.
And the interesting part...

This thread made me visit his Wiki page. 'Colouful' is an understatement. Like the OP, I would spend time to see him irl talking about his adventures.
I received two PM's from members telling me how much insurance is. And UK prices are high indeed. We pay about 40% of that!
As a foreigner: how much money are we talking about? Just curious.
I knew that I would be knocking on the right doors asking here about Namibia. Thanks for all the info!
My wife is in Paris for a week. She returns next week and I'll show her what's been written...
We (my wife and I) have decided to go to a dryer, more sunny place next winter for a week or 10 days. Well, at least: start a search. Various destinations are on the list and one of them is Namibia. ...
So, what's your suggestion for the next episode to make it less predictable?
After last night's episode I've pulled out my MacBook and looked/googled for the places they visited, the scenery (at...
Absolutely true! I guess the 46℃ that was mentioned was only the beginning. It was filmed in May 2023, with the Summer building up.
Top down motoring will not help much when it comes to fresh...
