I find the value of TDs and TFs depressing. Many who lusted after them in the 50s/60s are no longer with us. My brother who sold his really nice TF a few years ago for £21,000 saw it adverised on an auction site recently with a starting price of £7,000. There were no bids. The drop in prices is not restricted to cars. I have just taken some copper pipe which was removed as part of a central heat...

Sounds like you lot are streets ahead of me...l am a fossil who relies on paper.
I'm with Irving Finkel who is enthusiastic about Assyrian cuneiform tablets...still extant and legible after 4k years. Try that with a laptop etc 😉 THAT'S secure storage

Little Finger back to normal thanks. Can pull it fully in now. Full hand strength returned a while back so all good. Hope Anam is much better. 50k is a good distance. Just done 20 miles but more on Thursday probably.

Perfect riding weather Bill, have been really enjoying it and still get out every second day. There's been some new walking/bike tracks built here over the last couple of years and i've worked out a nice return route along to the next town from me and back, it's about 50/55klm total so just a nice distance, far enough but not too far. --How's that finger of yours going - ?

The later gear lever harness is very prone to chafing and shorting, fitting a fuse is a very good idea as the circuit from there back to the ignition is unfused.

As Willy says the fault will be between the fuse and the earthed end of solenoid, so it depends where that fuse is fitted. There will be several connection points in that chain so it is a matter of breaking the circuit into sect...

"You'd think it was summer."

Been more like winter/autumn here (UK - South) for the last week. Cold, cloudy, rain.

Willy, hope you enjoyed the day and got out on your bicycle! It's started wet here (SW England) but set to improve so bike ride later.

Guy, my understanding is that the cloud (Microsoft, Google etc) identifies your account and assigns your new device to this account (you probably have to confirm it as a "trusted" device). The cloud then compares the new backup files (each picture is a file) with existing files and skips any duplicates I.e. it shouldn't store a duplicate copy.

I also use an external drive (HDD and/or USB...

"The other part of the equation is then of course to remember to use it, regularly and frequently. I'm not good at that!"

Yep, rigor and routine is the key. There are many ways (and free programs) to help you automate the process, I just prefer to spend 5 minutes daily, and then a bit longer once a month, making backups of important stuff.

Regarding the Irish answer, I have alway...
