The Great 'EQ' Restoration - OOPS!

[avandonk]

Yes I was worried about the battery as I am too lazy to run games non stop for more than five minutes.Your boys put it to the torture test and it passed.Thats good.So I dont have to complain to the supplier (or bust something of his),thats good.I am too scared to do that sort of thing.

I hate computer games! They sure put it to the test. I checked it out with the Toucam tonight too (indoors unfortunately) and all is well!!!

When we got home the boys were going flat out to Cheryl: "Berts a really nice man, we saw heaps of planes fly over his house, we ate plums off his plum tree, he's got a Hagrid's House in his backyard, his garden is great, etc etc"

I think they enjoyed their day!

What is Hagrid's House ? Am I missing something?

Hagrid is a character in the Harry Potter movies and he lives in a house that looks just like the little pointy roofed building in your garden.

Jake also said you have a bucket drier in the middle of your yard

To explain to the others why this is funny, Bert has an EQ mount in the middle of his yard and to keep rain off it he has a large bucket, tipped upside down, over the head.
Jake thought it was a thing to put a bucket on so the bucket can dry!

Kids. Don't ya love em!

The pointy roofed building is a circular mud brick building with an old top of a chook feeder for a roof.It used to be our outside dunny.It is a perfectly normal thing to have in the backyard.I think?
The bucket dryer is self evident!

LOL! But Steve, the games you play are probably worth playing!!!

Bert loaded a game into my new lappy today! It's a beauty. It's called 'Stepper Motor Control Program'!

I have used Unix for a long time in line command ,far more powerfull than a click of a mouse. rm *.* from root comes to mind.What power!After changing read write etc priviledges from root.
Let me know how the job is going.I am sure you will be well looked after.All you have to do, is be the best!

They've got that one on Windows too, but it goes 'del *'. I once instructed someone who was having trouble using the GUI deleting a lot of files from a floppy to just go to the a: drive and type 'del *' at the DOS prompt. They did so but forgot to change directories and ended up deleting the contents of c:\windows\. After that I was told to stick my command line to where the sun don't shine.
