So... What oiled your gears today?

No no no no no, this is a much better plan than what that guy did.

[Kawasaki Jimbo]

Plant Net app on the phone, recommended by a colleague. Identified two “weeds” in the garden (Tree Mallow and Cosmos) from my photographs alone. I am become David Bellamy.

Ooo, I'm very fond of plantfinder apps.
Terribly useful things, they are

Well, I've been having a strangely productive week.
For once my brain is functioning in the way that it *should* do.
That it *used* to do.
And its been terribly helpful.
I actually feel like I am achieving things, even in a constantly-interrupted way, and finally appear to be making headroads into my work.

So I treated myself to a little stroll down the Kings Road after work (till my feet started to hurt), had a ridiculously expensive G&T in the Chelsea Potter, and very nice it was too! Followed byh windowshopping in shops that I can nowadays afford to buy stuff in, but just not all the time.

Lovely!

Kayaks or canoe?

[Nobby the Bastard]

Marathon kayaks.
Long, thin and have a rudder.

What's the difference between a kayak and a canoe though? I've always wondered.

[Nobby the Bastard]

A kayak starts with a k and a canoe starts with a c.


The correct answer isn that canoes have a completely open deck.

I followed a bike for a couple of miles today in the car.
Buggered if I could identify it but it looked interesting and it was making a cool noise.
I memorised the reg and later entered it into the Vehicle Smart app on my phone.
It turned out to be a Derbi Mulhacen 659, strange little thing.

A canoe is anything from this

to this

or this.

A kayak is this

or this

For canoes and kayks the photos are genera purpose boats, white water / play boat and lastly marathon boats.

The simple difference between kayaks and canoes is the paddle; kayak paddles have two paddle blades, one on your left and one on your right whilst canoe paddles only have a paddle blade.

There's more kayaking tomorrow morning or at least I'm going and Nobby's noblet is coming along as well.

Found one of my vices (metal) in my Dad's garage and now fitted to my new work bench, just need to find my wood vice.

I also was able to finally get the rear caliper off the car.
