Small lunchtime #diy project - this towel rail has been collecting dust in the cupboard for years. Now it's finally on the bathroom wall where it belongs!

Frage in die #Reparatur-Bubble: Wie sind die Erfahrungen im Bereich Display-Tausch bei #Pocketbook? Ich hab hier ein Touch HD 3 mit defektem Display/Touch. Hat das schonmal jemand getauscht? Falls ja, welches Display habt ihr verbaut und ging das gut von der Hand? Auf ifixit sieht es ja recht easy aus, den Akku zu tauschen, aber zum Display hatte ich nichts gesehen. #DIY #Repair

Good spot for a small sawmill?

Under the five oaks the predecessor planted 40 years ago.

Easy access with the tractor, can pull a log alongside and stack drying lumber in front where the wind ventilates it. Away from the house for noise and dust.

Maybe some point foundations to roll the beam onto. And need to pick a second good beam as the other one supposed to go here crumbled to bits.

The leaves might be a bit annoying in late autumn.

A large old barn with five oaks in a row. A long concrete beam is laid down in front of them. A lot of brown leaves cover the uneven ground. A fence and gate are on the right.

Wrenching today turned into a good news/bad news situation. Good news: I'm getting my money's worth out of my QuickJacks. Better news: I fixed my transmission! Replaced the solenoids, filter, and fluid, plus the plastic bits circled in the photo, which are a common failure point. These were almost certainly original, meaning 16 years and 226K miles old. Yikes!

Bad news: the water pump crapped the bed half a mile into my test drive. Sigh.

My gray 2009 BMW 335i sedan, raised on a QuickJack portable lift on my driveway, with a plastic tarp on the ground underneath to catch any runoff as I drain the transmission fluid.
A view up into the ZF 6HP21 six-speed automatic transmission of my 2009 BMW 335i, with the oil pan and Mechatronic (valve body) unit removed. Towards the left, in about the middle of the transmission, four black plastic tubes are coming down through the housing, and to the right, at the front of the transmission, is a rectangular black plastic piece with two smaller rectangular oil passages. These common wear items that I replaced are circled in red.

It's done! Here's the epic moment after the 11m concrete beam has left the yard (leaving a nice brown skidmark).

I was going to film it, but the gusty wind blew the camera over before it got interesting.

The other beam was damaged and broke in half, leading to some sketchy cutting of rebar under load (ping!) and dragging two halves out. Had to shovel the concrete debris out of the garden, that took even longer.

No more stupid concrete in the garden 🥳

A crooked gate leading out of the yard and into the meadow with two barns. A giant 11m concrete beam has been dragged through the gate, leaving torn up dark soil and mud. It's now resting in the leaves under some 40 year old oaks.
A large concrete beam has been pulled sideways with a tractor and steel cable. It's broken in half, leaving a mess of crumbling concrete, rebar and for some reason a plastic pipe embedded inside of it. The soil is churned up thoroughly and muddy.
Close-up of the front of a concrete beam well buried in the soil. A chain leads around the front, connects to a wire rope and goes over a small steel car wheel (without tyre) and off into the distance. The wheel sits on a wooden plank shoved under the beam.

Socket boxing all done in the nursery, just gotta move the camera up a bit now he'll be able to reach it, then fill the holes and touch up the paint on the wall.

Tomorrow we finish it and put the new bed in, and then see what other furniture we can fit in there!

I just did what I couldn't manage yesterday due to time constraints: Replacing the analog sticks of my PS3 controller I use for speedrunning Metroid Dread. 🎮

The old ones were worn out. The new ones are also used but offer much more grip.✋

Used this opportunity to also do a little fix. Adding a thin layer of paper to the foam pressing the button layer to the controllers circuit board prevents from automatic and unintended button presses. 🛡️

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day. According to legend he cast out snakes from Ireland. Well I cast out… whatever it was that has kept this NeoGeo Pocket (the greatest handheld console of all time, btw) from working these last, uh, 25 years or so.

So guess who’s playing SNK vs Capcom the rest of the day?

A hand holds a blue Neo Geo Pocket handheld gaming device displaying a game screen with characters and dialogue. In the background, a multimeter and various tools are visible on a table. The setting appears casual, with additional clutter surrounding the gaming console.
