Upgraded my Tesco mobile deal so I can run my laptop from the phone's 5G after tomorrow when my BT home broadband contract ends. Whether it will end is debateable. I instructed them by phone to terminate my account at the expiry of my contract (should be expiration, but fuck it...). They confirmed it by email - which I've saved as a document - just in case.
A day later they sent another email telling me my contract was about to expire and I could either sign up to a renewed deal at £35 a month for another two years or do nothing and my service would continue (at £40 a month).
I fully expect my service to continue tomorrow and when I log on to what should be a defunct BT account I will find I've been signed up, against my express wishes, to £40 a month for the next two years. At which point my direct debit will be cancelled and a copy of the cancellation email will be sent to BT's complaints department in the post with a covering letter informing them that my case has been passed to Trading standards with a copy to the Communications Ombudsman.

We shall see. My new Tesco Mobile contract is SIM-only at £14 a month, fixed for the whole the two years with 100G of 5G data - which is vastly more than I will ever use.
Looked at Starlink but as far as I can see they want £299 up front for the dish and then £40 a month, so they can fuck off as well. What internet access I can't get from my phone at £14 a month I don't need. A first step in de-digitalising my life.
 
Doing a bit more on me paving slab. This working with clay is harder than i thought it would be.. im a bit gunho ( is that the expression? ) with stuff and rip into it. I do afairbit of research till i either dont understand or get bored. Usually itsget bored so i just get on with it.
Anyhu, i tweaked the design a lil and am cracking on .
Unfortunately my clay biscuit came out bigger than intended so i should have upscaled the moon bur haven't.. more room for background shit maybe..

$1200 American, needs restore but I intend to rip the motor out and put it into a Ninja 300 or KTM RC390 chassis as a track bike. What do yall think?
 
Out for walkies with the dog this morning at one point we have to walk close by a pylon . Since last time I was there some very determined person had hoisted 2 supermarket trolleys part way up.
A strange thing to do especially as this is at least 3 miles from the nearest supermarket and along a very bumpy bridleway.
Some of you may remember the above from 2 weeks ago. On walkies today i noticed they were gone only for me to see them at the end of the walk now outside a water pumping station not 2 minutes walk from home. My first thought was that i must take them home , swiftly followed by why and what would I use them for. Still tempted so if any of you can come up with a good reason please let me know.

Remember if you are using for a mold it has to be inverted (Backwards)
Na, it gets painted with many coats of brush on latex , i then pour plaster of paris over that which will later be used to support the latex glove, disassemble it all , put the glove in the plaster support and fill with concrete.
Ive done this before you know. Once in art class 42 years ago.. but its all coming back to me!
 
Got this far today. Reasonably happy but will change a few bits tomorrow and ive yet to learn how much to try and do now and how much to let it dry before i do other details.
Ive read the text will be easier to carve in when its gone leathery. Ideally id use stamps for the text but i dont have any...

Ditch that idea as you will be left with a load of worthless junk and a probable expensive re build on the engine. Google AI says you can get a second hand Banshee engine for about that price - much better option 👀

Instead of having to remember to correct you birth date by -1 day, take the date off so it isn't as personalised then you can sell some once the mould is done.
Alternatively make 366 different moulds with all possible dates on :unsure:
