I've got a key safe by the front door that I don't know the combination to or if there's a spare key in there.
I've been meaning to get to it so I've made a notch decoder and studied the Lock Picking Lawyer video.
If it doesn't work, I can always brute force it to get the combo. 🤔

My Nephew wants to get back into the DS so I'm going to set up an R4 card so that he can 'run homebrew titles'. I'll need my DS to configure it but haven't fired it up since 2019.
Not only does it still work but it appears to be fully charged! 😲
I gave it a 'well done' pat on the shell. ☺️

There's a lost cat in the neighbourhood (Pablo). Nearly managed to catch him last night but he was having none of it. He has been missing since Christmas so I'll keep an eye on the garden tonight armed with stinky food and a thermal imaging camera (and also wearing a rather apt hoodie!) 🙂

Slowly ticking off issues and I seem to be making progress!
Everything else will need my big tools and a bench so I need to get the garage up and running next. ☺️

My high octane weekend adventure in house fixer uppery has been wildly successful.
I've built two hoofing great wardrobes. The boiler has been upgraded with a climapro 2 controller and I've become an amateur toiletician (or Bogologist if you will) by rebuilding the loo with all new parts. ☺️

For today's ultra glamorous hijinks I'll be replacing all the internals of the loo. 😂

The move was the most punishing physical exercise I've done in decades. Packing, lifting and shifting for 6 weeks left me in absolute tatters.
I'm mostly recovered so have started on 'the list'. We're jotting jobs down as we notice them and I'll pick one and have at it. ☺️

Happy new year everyone! It's starting off well. Got bit by Prosecco last night, am a little fuzzy headed and the cistern has decided to try and pull a great escape off of the wall.
I'm actually looking forward to fixing it. ☺️

Still lots of unpacking to do but I'm going to have a bash at setting this up.
It arrived just before the move and I've been itching to have a play. ☺️

New house shenanigans!
Went to plug the washing machine in which I assured Sam should be straightforward only to be greeted by a seized valve on the cold and the other is furred to oblivion.
I changed the cold infil but it was tense as I've never done any plumbing before. ☺️

The garage is nearly all moved and we spent the weekend cleaning the new place.
Fun fact, you can steam out furniture marks with a towel, clothes iron and a brush. ☺️

Gave the new place a look over and set up dehumidifiers etc.
The internet is all set up now too. It is... Faster... ☺️
There were some interesting bits left in the loft and the garage even came with a set of screwdrivers! 🥳🎉

I'd nearly finished the garage when the light decided to up and fail.
Thought I'd make the best of it. 😂

RIP Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa. He was in so many amazing things.
I named my Arduino programmer after Shang Tsung a couple of years ago (because it can lift and drop souls.) and the guy was a legend.

Power washed the tanks in preparation for the move.

I've got as far as I can with an analogue output on the Bluetooth cassette.
There's too much variation in tape images/hardware and I can't get a one size fits all.
I'm going to try a Schmitt trigger setup which should add some consistency.
i'll assemble a board and see what it can do. 🙂

I'm going for a battle of the amps with a set of hot swap coils.
I need one that has the right dynamic range for the decks at really low amplitudes and also has enough 'torque' to give a reliable zero crossing.
I have a sliding scale of 'stuff' in my head and I'll spend some time feeling it out.🙂
