Took a voluntary redundancy/ early retirement deal so more time to play with cars and buttons (hopefully)

My missus called that ‘retundancy’ when I took it a while back.

 

I finished on a Friday, had the weekend off then started on the bathroom refurb on the Monday. Beware the ‘job list’

What I have just done?

 

Swapped a mini!

Had these dampers kicking around the workshop for a couple of years so thought I'd put them to good use.

Fitted a 2lb Wilwood residual pressure valve to the rear brake line, disconnected and removed the old pressure brake light warning switch and fitted my new brake micro switch.

 

Big thanks to @Greenstreak-Andy D & @Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AOfor your help with the micro switch mount.

I would be more worried about getting a split pin through the clevis pin rather than worrying about covering up!

However I am sure it was just about to be done knowing Als attention to detail 🙂

Not Westfield related, but I received a 3D printer for my birthday recently and have been quite amazed by what can be achieved with it. Amongst many other things, it allowed me to finally sort out mounting a big screen in our lounge for a proper home cinema. Our usual TV is an old 32” Panasonic jobby I got free from my time working with them, so we have gone from the sublime to 120” of ridiculousness 🤣.

 

I already had a nice 1080P projector, a surround sound system and some aluminium pole. So, I designed (very simply on Tinkercad) and printed some brackets to hold the pole and some hooks to attach a screen I bought from Amazon to the poles. Some old IKEA racking from the garage gave me a way of getting the projector high enough, and Bob was indeed your uncle. It’s all easily removeable, including the brackets so can be setup or packed down fairly easily. I may add some side bars to tension the screen better, and will find a neater way of managing the cabling etc but this all worked well.

 

We quickly abandoned our planned ‘Love Actually’ debut film due to too much swearing for our ten year old (we stupidly had forgotten all those bits! 😱🤪) and ended up with ‘Chitty Chitty Bang Bang’, all good fun. Many more movie nights to come hopefully.
