Last day of my 40's! Final #repair job of my 40's is a new inner tube for my mums purple wheelbarrow!
@concretedog Happy Birthday!
That milestones looms in next year for me. Keep on repairing stuff and let me know what to choose for my midlife crisis. πŸ˜‰

@VintageProject @concretedog

I always told my wife I’d take my midlife dalliance in the form of an Italian motorcycle.

I think she prefers that my midlife hobbies center around #Linux and #SlideRules. πŸ˜†

I'm past midlife, but that doesn't mean I'm past the midlife attractions.

I've a predilection for the #Linux and #SlideRules myself, and an even bigger interest in #Telescopes . But there is something to be said for Italian motorcycles.

@stargazersmith @inaction_figure @VintageProject @concretedog

Have you considered the amazing world of #amateurradio? So many fiddly bits to play with...

@alexmdunne @stargazersmith @inaction_figure @concretedog That's true. I'm still trying to start properly, but my unwillingness to put up with people is a major hindrance on the way to a licence.

@VintageProject @alexmdunne @stargazersmith @concretedog

I have an #AmateurRadio license, but I have little time or interest for random conversations with random strangers. If they would talk about #SlideRules, #Linux, and Italian motorcycles, it would be more fun!

@inaction_figure @VintageProject @alexmdunne @stargazersmith @concretedog

Plenty of introverted hams about. Digital modes, meteor scatter, E-M-E, even good ol’ CW. I have no interest in ragchew or how political it can be.

@NM8A @inaction_figure @VintageProject @alexmdunne @concretedog
My license back in the day was used for CW, and I was never very good at it. So I never had long enough conversations to get to know or be bothered by anyone.

That DOES seem to fit my temperament and skill set a bit better than a rambling political ragchew.
