Fitted a wheel bearing into the car, straightforward job went fine. Test drive - abs light - 🤔 - i only fitted the bearing the wrong way round 🙈. The magnets for the abs pickup are in one of the seals on the bearing.

Had to go get another new bearing and strip it down again as its impossible to press the hub out out of bearing without destroying it 😭

Decided to sort out the central heating at home, we've been doing a fair bit of work to our 70's built box on a village housing estate. The kitchen has been extended into what was a diy conservatory, electrics moved around, plumbing extended and altered and the OH decided not to stop there but to refloor the lounge and move the radiators all around.
The lounge used to have one under the window but "she who must be obeyed" who has been watching too much Nick Knowles and that Kevin Whatisname, wanted a new radiator in a totally different part of the room. This entailed me digging a trench in the concrete floor to feed the thing. Today I went and joined it into the system only to give a good effort at flooding the downstairs. When I laid the laminate I screwed a couple of bits of ply to protect the raw edge of the laminate untill I have got round to laying the 30odd square meters of tiles.
Yes you guessed it, I had gone and screwed right through one of the feed pipes to that damned radiator. So tomorrows job is going to dig a dirty big hole in the concrete floor and try not to wreck any more pipe

Cleaning the combine header today. I stood on a short ladder and reached over to get the muck out from behind the feed auger. The ladder decided to slide away and I brushed my chest on the header. I was so convinced that the bloody thing did for no other reason than to mortality wound me, that I reasoned that it needed to be taught a right good lesson in flying. As I wanged it across the yard, I was horrified to see its graceful arch taking it towards my new grain store. And ultimately bending several cladding sheets. So here endeth the lesson.

Not exactly expensive, but cleaned the algae from the inside of the rain gauge as it was difficult to read and cleaned the scale off the outside too !
Oh well, at least I can't complain about how much rain we've had !

I've done the same thing on large - and supposedly un-reusable - syringes, measuring out Spot On... :banghead:
