Are you sure it's an oil catcher? After all the words 'oil drain' on the side of it could be just to fool you.

AKG K245 open-back studio headphones. Bargain bin but reasonably faithful output.

Same, I am done paying streaming services.
Amazon hiking the price of prime killed them for me. Netflix forcing me to pay an additional amount so my parents can hop on my account which was already their most premium offering.

At the point where I say fuck them all. Disney plus is dogshit too.

Yep I seldom use teh delivery cos Amazon is sh!te for shopping and I probably only watch one or two things a month, so it was borderline value for me. I was likely to cancel anyway after xmas. but that email was the straw.. I suspect they will have underestimated the backlash.

Spent my Christmas money on one of those Beeline things. TBF I always thought them overpriced for what is essentially a glorified digital compass but the design's been well thought out. You get a direction of travel and a hint as to the next turn - an exercise in efficient minimalism which suits the Husky.

Managed to find a new unused (albeit 7 year old but looks grand) 165/60 13" for my car for £15. Only had to drive up the road 15 miles to pick it up. The old tyre was 15 years old and there was finally a leakage coming through the join between sidewall and treaded portion. Currently have the spare on (also 15 years old actually) as that is the same size as the other side (155/60 13") and the 165/60 is the spare for now. I'm trying to phase out my 155/60's on the car gradually but that takes a long time on a car I do little mileage on.



It took a few more months, but the other 16 year old tyre has gone down now too. Actually, looked very good compared to previous tyre picture but ultimately it is a flatty pancake due to air coming through one of the only sidewall cracks. Bought a new for £32 delivered 165/70r13 (the above is wrong, not 60 ratio, 70 ratio). Because I'm in between MOT's and the tyre decided to go flat just a few days before I was going to present the car, very typically. And, the spare which is a 155/70 is matching the other side of the car since september. But the tyre I bought in September is 165/70 so that won't work for MOT man to have different sizes. Will have to fit above new tyre to the flat one, and change the other side too for the 'new' spare so that there are no discrepencies on sizes side to side- all wheels will be 165/60r13 from that point. But the spare then will obviously only be 155/70 but I can't bring myself to replace it just because I'm cheap and it has lots of tread- but is equally, 16 years old.

Are modern tyres rubbish these days? I don't think you could get >10 years out of a tyre without it perishing and delaminating.

Car Mat screws from ebay.

I'm cheesed off at the mat slipping up and over the footrest on the left which creates some tamperfereage with the middle foot rest. (Brake pedal).

I don't think modern tyres are rubbish- I'm just cheap. Actually, I was thinking of putting a tube in the most recent flat tyre but i've left it flat whilst mounted to the car for far too long.

I bought a solar panel battery charger/maintainer.
No power to the bike storage area so I thought I'd try one.
