Just ran over my pressure bottle with the tractor and squished it...had to buy a new one. Handy for topping up gearbox/diff oil as well as essential for flushing out the DPF. Kinda gutted, I'd had the old one for years

A quick scan through recent posts, and I find myself buying a new torch. How did that happen?
Thanks, @Narpy.
Only £20.78 today.
Could be my persuasive nature but I suspect it’s the overwhelming desire to buy a torch that drives you, it’s a bloke thing, a man can never have too many torches. This rule also applies to other none torch related equipment, like fishing rods, screw drivers and power tools, and for our American readers, guns, bullets and bagels.
You’ll not regret it either, that bad boy almost recoils when you illuminate it’s light saber like beam and if you got the freebie mini light too, you’ll be thanking me once it resides in your centre cubby.😬 -

You’ll be able to light up half your county with it. You’ll be impressed especially once it’s gone dark.😉
Please give a report back once you’ve tested it and burnt your retinas out.😂 -

Torch kit arrived today. very impressed. Sturdy metal. Even in the home during the day you can see just how powerful it is. Has digital battery display.
Now fitted to the boot panel that covers the jack area ready for the next midnight emergency.
Came with a nice little square LED torch too ideal for the toolbox. Approx 50mm square.
All USB chargable and the torch acually acts as a powerbank in an emergency.

No such thing as next day delivery out here in the north sea...even small parcels take a minimum of 4 days unless they start attaching them to trained Orcas and get them to swim up the beach down from the farm.
One of the minor logistics downsides to living somewhere where everyone else doesn't

Still no torch...It'll be here tomorrow according to the tracking. Amazon must have hired some dude with a waterproof rucksack to swim it over.
Let's hope he wasn't wearing a black wetsuit...the Orca's around here are quite partial to swimming things that look like seals
We've had a family group of Orca's hanging around the harbour this last week or so...unusually, a bit early in the year for them (they usually wait untill all the tourists have gone home) but there was another mass pilot whale beaching on the west side of the island a couple of weeks ago...23 of them on the beach just down from the farm...we had a mass beaching of pilot whales in roughly the same area last year too, 77 of them that time...it was the largest mass pilot whale stranding since the 1920's
Harbour full of smiling seal assassins...
Mass pilot whale beaching last year...
All the rest of the stuff I ordered from Amazon appeared today...pressure bottle, hose clamp pliers...
I'm feeling left out, lots of cetaceans, dead or alive...but still torchless

Aye...outside of Land Rovers and Harley Davidsons, my gaming PC has always been a guilty passion. Like a lot of forces veterans, I picked up the bug whilst recovering in a military hospital.
It's a strange thing about veterans, once we're all either too broken to be proper soldiers or past the sell by date to go jumping out of aeroplanes with 250lbs of kit, we either become gamers, bikers, archaeologists or farmers...or any combination of the above
I play lots of general online and offline games as well as MilSim stuff outside of flight sims, but all the usual flight simulators like DCS, IL2 Great Battles, GA flight sims like Microsoft Flight Sim 2024...with multiplayer space games like Elite Dangerous and Star Citizen too.
We have an Xbox series X in the living room which Mrs Mole uses when she's not on her laptop, she likes RPG's and adventure games mainly...and you'll spot the black PS5 on the left of the desk, no gaming discrimination here
My old army mate Badger (who's now a military historian and archeologist) and me trying out the Mi-24 Hind helicopter in DCS for the very first time with me as front seat gunner...we usually fly fixed wing as a crew on F14's and F15's...so we were a pair of complete muppets flying the helicopters
