My (very old) rowing machine finally seems to have died - the webbing is covering in some kinda damper oil/grease now....
Any suggested for (UK sourced!) replacements would be welcome, or it'll just be picking something at random time...
I've only just refurbed the seat, and got it rolling nicely again too - always the way, right?

Update: Spend lunchtime investigating... turns out the spring has snapped (not just come loose), so, I'm not going to attempt to fix that!
I'm impressed by the metric shedload of grease they had packed it with though...
Need to investigate the adjustable magnetic resistance though, see how that worked

New rowing machine arriving today. The couriers sent this video to watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oArQwqB3T_Y

Apparently they might be delayed by squirrels, and I have to clear away my dinosaurs...

I feel seen...

I've turned my phone off "silent" in case I miss a call from them... and OMG what kind of psychopath has their phone off silent all the time? It's hellish!

@tmfox it wouldn't be the first time I'd made a castle out of a box like that....

@richlucking I disable notifications on practically everything anyway, which helps on the VERY rare occasions I'm off silent.

@richlucking I do because I have my Apple Watch set to buzz me with any calls or notifications 😉

@TheShireEsq haha well yes, I have a watch, but I only tend to wear that when I'm "out and about", so in the house, well...

@richlucking I rarely have my phone off silent

@richlucking presumably you'll be taking a sledgehammer to your door if it's too narrow?

@tmfox wouldn't be the first time... or is that a euphemism? :p

@richlucking as it's you, I'm assuming both 🤣
