Listening to the Voices in My Head

I rode my bike to Bunnings. This is what I sent to "Customer Feedback" on the net.

I don't drive, I ride a bike. Today was the first time I rode my bike to Bunnings to pick up some tools needed for household improvement (a pipe wrench and adjustable pliers).

There was no place to securely lock my bike. The bollards, which prevent theft are too big to chain a bike to, and a persistent thief would just lift the a bike up off of it if you could chain it to it.

Locking the bike to the trolley bay? Not unless you want it scratched or crushed by cars or trolleys. I have a $1600 electric bike. I need a secure place to lock them. I have discussed this with other bike riders and they agree, some sort of 'bicycle' bay is needed. Just a couple of upside down U metal pipes cemented into the ground would do it. It would increase sales as people won't have to wait to get a ride, or go to the K-Mart to get tools.

Who knows? Might actually get some results. Can't hurt to ask!

The pool vacuum I got didn't quite fit with the current pool fixtures. After about an hour of scrounging, and a bit of examination and inventive thinking, the pool vacuum works fine.

So, two water filters running side by side (two intakes, one outflow from a T Junction) and a rigged pool vacuum. Aikidomayland keeps asking me how I can do this. He is a linear thinking, whereas I'm a lateral thinker. I knew what was needed so created a reasonable fascimile. *takes a bow* Unfortunately, jumping to the solution is why I was really bad at having to do long form algebra in highschool. I looked at equation, knew the answer, but couldn't write it out. Oh well

Oh yeah, 90f (30c) is easier to deal with when you have a big cool puddle of crystal clear water. *contented sigh*
