00:09:14 <electrohead> speaking of parts, my wiper arms showed up, and surprisingly, they are in good shape :D
00:09:44 <rust_collector> that is weird
00:10:22 <electrohead> 60 dollars for the pair total, with shipping
00:11:58 <electrohead> thank you, ebay
00:12:00 <electrohead> haha
00:13:34 <NeroTHz> hmmph seems like I need to invest in more storagespace
00:15:40 <rust_collector> yes, build a shed
00:24:47 <EEVBlog> New EEVBlog Tweet: 3 seasons of Neil Armstrong flying vintage planes? How did I not know about this! https://t.co/7On5HA5cSP

00:50:56 <rust_collector> ok, it is a very nice day outside. I do not feel like being outside... blah
00:51:43 <Ysjoelfir> here its meh
00:51:53 <Ysjoelfir> I did a bit of woodwork. enjoyed it.
00:52:07 <rust_collector> it is nice and sunny, 9c a little bit of wind
00:52:24 <Ysjoelfir> even though it was just a stupid spacer so that I don't always push my desk against the heater...
00:52:30 <Ysjoelfir> oh, that sounds very nice indeed!
00:52:45 <rust_collector> it would be a nice day for a walk
00:53:15 <rust_collector> so, do you have enough stones and things to sharpen your tools?
00:53:58 <rust_collector> Imo, sharpening metal things is the most important thing, if you want to enjoy woodworking things
00:54:16 <Ysjoelfir> no, but I bought a set of stones like an hour ago
00:54:25 <rust_collector> ok
00:55:23 <Ysjoelfir> I got that one. https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B07VC3S6X7/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
00:55:34 <Ysjoelfir> 400, 1k, 3k, 8k
00:55:53 <Ysjoelfir> should be ok I think
00:56:12 <rust_collector> one day, I might have to have you resend a package with a pair of stones. the guy does not ship outside the eu... we will see
00:56:30 <Ysjoelfir> well... you are "kind of" EU-ish, right? :P
00:56:45 <rust_collector> just sort of
00:56:58 <Ysjoelfir> also, hurry up with that, I got the package from hsn and want to send some of that to you ;)
00:57:16 <rust_collector> i should ask, but I don't want to annoy the guy, he has actual things to do
00:57:30 <rust_collector> oh, it was that bad?
00:57:56 <rust_collector> and that set will do just fine, for a while
00:58:23 <Ysjoelfir> lol. is is something special you need from him?
00:58:42 <Ysjoelfir> and I didn't try hsns package yet. mrs spouse just arrived and I'm opening it now
00:59:01 <rust_collector> it is precision ground stones. nothing too special about them
00:59:24 <rust_collector> pretty much just regular stones, ran thru a surface grinder
01:00:32 <rust_collector> so the surface of them is flat, so it will not dig down into the material, it will just remove little nubs and things that stick up off the surface
01:02:14 <Ysjoelfir> I see. shouldn't most honing stones be like that?
01:03:00 <rust_collector> well, they are usually not dull enough, so if you just keep rubbing on an area, they will dig into it.
01:03:33 <rust_collector> they would do fine for most things. I just like the idea
01:03:34 <Ysjoelfir> meh
01:03:53 <Ysjoelfir> I just tried one of the cookies from hsn.
01:04:02 <Ysjoelfir> very delicious indeed :D
01:04:09 <rust_collector> very cookie
01:04:33 <Ysjoelfir> I especially like that its kind of moist and not ultra sweet
01:05:24 <Ysjoelfir> those will go perfect with a hot cup of tea
01:06:02 <Ysjoelfir> which I will have to make soon as I want to try that palm water as well. though I am a bit sceptical because of the smell :P

18:37:58 <Ampera> Alright, Halcyon, want to do a call in a bit?
18:37:58 <Halcyon> I'm still in training today and tomorrow
18:37:58 <Halcyon> I will have a little time in about 1.5 hours
18:37:58 <Ampera> Halcyon, I may still be around
18:37:58 <Halcyon> I admire people who can do this in public: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUkxoREfiQQ
