When I park my truck at services for the night, my company reimburse the cost. Sometimes at the weekend, a room in a hotel at the services can be dirt cheap. This was the case last night when I parked at Burton-In-Kendal services, £25.99 for a room in the travelodge, which includes parking. Cheap and cheerful, but beats a night in the truck. Nice comfy bed, bath/shower, just space in general is nice.
The only downside was the hotel is old and doesn’t have usb charging sockets, and I don’t carry a usb plug in the truck as it’s not needed (I will from now on).
I asked the nice receptionist if they possibly had a spare, she checked and came back with one. I thanked her and said I’d drop it back in the morning when I checked out, to which she replied no need as it had been in lost property since last summer and was highly unlikely to be claimed.
So if you lost yours last summer, I have it. Finders keepers. Unlucky.

45, size 10, no hotel tonight, it’s £60 where I am parked.

I'm a kind of amateur JRR Tolkien scholar, which means that, when time permits, I read The Lord of the Rings again and again and again and again. And again.

What I'm noticing at the moment is that the people in LOTR who are most impervious to the illusions of power (and especially the temptation of the Ring) are those who occupy themselves with the simple – and yes, dull – aspects of life.

So on the one hand, you have the Great and Wise, who are easily enamoured with the power the Ring offers. And on the other hand? Well, one character likes to collects lilies; another (an ent) bursts into delighted laughter whenever the Sun comes out from behind a cloud; there's a hobbit who is far more interested in cabbages and potatoes than elves and dragons; and there's a chubby middle-aged man who runs a pub and doesn't even care that a king has apparently appeared, fulfilling all the ancient prophecies, because there's more important things: mugs of ale.

In conclusion: I'm getting more and more convinced that, both in Middle-earth and in our world, if you want to withstand the greatest evils and be a decent chap, you need to be willing to be kinda dull.

I weld/fabricate for my job and used to make a lot of practice welds, years ago I cut this small piece of weld and drilled a hole in the top to make a keyring.
It now has a lovely pocket shine, feels really good to run my finger over and calm my nerves when I'm in crowded places.

It has been suggested to me that this group may enjoy the tale of Toiletfish. I have 2 days of updates thus far is this little guy is well received.

PSA: check your buckets fellow aquatic enthusiasts

Meet Toiletfish. Toiletfish has apparently been living his best life in a swampy bucket of plant remnants for WEEKS. I tore apart a mess of a tank a few weeks ago and had the "I'll get around to it bucket" that has sat in the same spot, acting as a wastewater receptacle for weekly predator feeders as well as anything else that came home in a bag since that day.

This cesspool is a stagnant compilation of waters from petco, petsmart, and at least 2 LFS.

How did I discover Toiletfish? I finally got around to it. Scooped all the big plant remnants out because I like my plumbing and SPLOOSH down the toilet it went.... except....there...was....TOILETFISH now bebopping around the bowl.

Well if you ever had to contemplate life and figure out how to somehow get a fish out of the toilet that is only slightly bigger than nothing, my enterprising brain concocted a solution. If you're imaging anything but a big Ole siphon tube, a prayer, and a deep breath in you'd be imaging wrong.

Toiletfish is likely a residual guppy that fell through a net with a hole 2-3 weeks ago when I picked up a batch off of marketplace. He is currently floating in a nice warm quarantine tank because only God knows what he contracted in that concoction and for all I know, he keels over from a combination of trauma and cycled water. Only time will tell.

I have had what I believe to be a bold jumping spider living in my mailbox for the last two weeks. He has green metallic fangs and according to Google, that makes him a boy. I have always loved creepy crawlers and this little man is no exception.

The first week of his new residency, he would scurry to the back as soon as I opened the door. I wasn’t sure what type of spider he was and had no interest in finding out against either of our wills so I let him be. It’s in my nature to greet any living creature I come across, so I talked to him each time, mostly just to request my mail without any repercussions.

This second week, he has been waiting for me at the very front. Rather than run away, he steps to the side so I can grab my mail, then sits and stares at me. Today, he was waiting on the latch, and I took this photo. Not ashamed to admit that I showed him and told him how handsome he was. I think he agreed.

I decided to share this unexpected progress in my newfound friendship with my mom and sister. Needless to say, after I subjected them to more jumping spider knowledge than they could have ever wanted in their lifetimes, they were not as elated as I.

The mrs and i like to point out quirky/amusing reg plates whilst we’re out and about, dull i know. Today we happened to be behind this pair of fiestas and witnessed a glitch in the matrix.

If you’re not familiar with the intricacies of British number plate nomenclature, let me enlighten you (dull though it may be): the first two letters mark the DVLA office at which the vehicle was registered, the numbers mark the six month period in which the vehicle was registered and the final 3 letters are a random, often sequential series of letters (some combinations are restricted) to make the registration unique.

What made this really cool was that the same random combo was on the same car in the same place at the same time 🤯, the cars were registered 6 months ish apart.

It’s a bit exciting just to warn you.
I read a hint about the best way to keep the yolk centered when making devilled eggs - so you don’t have that annoying bit of skinny white that doesn’t hold the yolk mayo mix nicely - you stir the eggs a couple of times (I went all out and did it three) while they are boiling.

Can you imagine my excitement to find this also makes shelling the eggs a delight. No catchy bits, no rough bits and no bits chunking off stuck to the shell.

I have tested this theory now three times with eggs from different cartons and brands and -success every time.

I told my friends of this revelation but they just sort of glazed over a bit and changed the subject. Clearly they don’t shell many hard boiled eggs.

While on our flight to Tenerife i spotted that the engine cowlings on our Airbus A320neo used Phillips screws. I spent a good amount of time wondering why they dont use torx and even pointed it out to my fiancee who unfortunately (but understandably) was quite uninterested in the matter. Wouldnt Phillips screws strip easily?

My new coworker gave me a box of iPods that his old company used for testing/R&D and I just got the first one working again by replacing the battery. This one is a 20 GB second-generation iPod which means it’s between 21-22 years old now.
