Apparently there is _nobody_ selling a 40cm blade for the G40LM40 / 25157 40V lawnmower by outside of the UK – or claims a shipping time of seven months! Is this the result of Brexit?

Well fck this. I ordered a 41cm blade for the G40LM41 / G24X2LM41 model on a hunch. This one was available. Looks like the fastening bolt is the same. Could confirm this when it arrived 4 days later.

Sadly it didn’t fit (no security clearance) – which was expected, of course. The fix is rather simple though. At least when you’ve an angle grinder.

And what do you say… perfect overlap of all the bends. This will do. Attached it and went for a test run depleting a whole battery (rechargeable, I’ve 4 of the big 4Ah suckers for this one because you know… grass).

If my guess is right this may be the last blade I could obtain for this lawnmower. What a shame. It’s doing fine for years and I really like the battery version. Less noise and no fumes are always a win in my book. It won’t stay though if replacement parts become such a pain in the… neck.

Al right peeps, the 1:1 ( | https://www.buildsbybaz.com/) build is basically done but Baz is stuck now. He made plans for a trailer to haul it around but he is out of materials: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EfnB02gxFg

Baz is not asking for donations yet. Personally I think he should, because his builds spark joy in the heart of people. Like his awesome build of an suit for the benefit of sick kids in hospitals did before.

We may even support him without some GoFundMe. If you’re into you may be interested in some of his at https://shop.buildsbybaz.com/.

I’ll update this should I learn about a GoFundMe campaign, of course.

Edith says: Awesome, apparently it took one night for some sales to appear and Baz can proceed building the trailer now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8O9MK_vu1k

Kissing, I hope they caught us by ShawshankShawshank (voidifremoved.net)

I’ve gotta start taking more pictures. I’m starting to double up the featured images here. This one I’ve already used. Last week I think. It’s all good. Good morning my friends. It’s Sunday, and you know what that means- chores and bacon. Bacon and chores. I did the laundry yesterday, because I was given some…

We got hardly any snow this year @Shawshank. In fact we didn’t even have to order new food for the heater. That’s not normal at all :-/

Not saying I missed snow but I miss snow. Does this make sense?

Anyway, now it’s spring and we get this rich fresh green everywhere that can only be seen for ~2ish weeks each year – and I love it 🤓

On the subject of Connecting Federated Social Media Networks by starrwulfestarrwulfe (starrwulfe.xyz)
The past few days on the Fediverse have served to remind me a few things: The internet is as smart and as ignorant (and everything in between) as the macrocosm known as “human civilization” reflects upon it. Sometimes the victims will become the victimizers in any given situation, usually withou...

So much this.

There’s no such thing like a primary topic or focus on mine. It’s an ongoing ever evolving side project and it’s topics change with whatever my hyperfocus latches on next 🙃

I know many separate their ongoing projects or thoughts via profiles or even completely different websites.

That’s too much work for my taste. So there is the full package or nothing. Or well… one could sub to a feed by category only. A nifty RSS feature 😀

I’d say we had a different kind of “content pressure” when creating a blog back then. I mean how else would we explain the amount of under_construction gifs? 🙃

It is indeed a shame though that any activity on the net is associated with the question how to make money of it 🙁

Sometimes existing is really enough 👍
