CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@MelissaBearTrix We can put on a show!
Couldn't make the traffic any worse.

@MelissaBearTrix Sure thing! Erm, it's parts for a REALLY big watch, right?
How big is your workshop, or shall we just drop it in the street?

@MelissaBearTrix This was yesterday, having fun with a 16 ton forklift loading my 9 metre long, 4.5 ton robotic saw onto a truck to relocate it.
It was less fun when I discovered they only had a 5 ton forklift at the other end for me to unload it with.
Squeaky bum time.

@wavygk Hey! I grew up on the side of that great lump!
They say you can predict the weather by looking at the mountain.
If you can see the top, it's going to rain.
If you can't see it, it's already raining.

@vfrmedia @OrdRadical @intrepidhero @ai6yr Absolutely! The way I look at it, I could pay someone $1,000, get my vehicle fixed, and that's it. Or, I can spend $1,000, get some shiny new toys, learn how to use them for multiple jobs, lock in future savings, AND get my vehicle fixed.
It's a no-brainer.

@intrepidhero @ai6yr I 100% do this all the time. Much to my wife's despair.
When a vehicle needs $1,000 worth of maintenance, I see that as an opportunity to buy another $1,000 worth of tools and equipment, and do the work myself. It escalated to a new level when I bought my own hydraulic vehicle lift.
Now I need a new workshop to fit all the equipment in.
