New walking boots. I've been buying the same ones for years. They tend to last about two years before they fall apart which isn't long although I do walk five to ten miles a day.

A couple of runflat tires for the X1 (I failed to take it for alineation and balance after I parched a flat and ended up after 20 thousand Kms with a pair of spent tires and a pair of good-as-new ones).

IBM ThinkPad T42p, similar to the one I had in my childhood. Came from the UK, and the keyboard is German. I need to find a replacement that is the en-US layout, but information and parts are seemingly rather scarce in that regard.
You should join Bill Morrow's ThinkPad Forum. You have to be a member to see the Marketplace but its free. Lots of good sellers and a plethora of parts for sale.

Just finished the build for my sons new computer. We have graduation this week coming up, then driving to see my dad /grandpa, then back home and hopefully the redo of his room and his new gaming setup will be quite a surprise.

Here are a few of the extras.

Asus 32" 1440p 170Hz G-Sync Monitor

Roccat Vulkan TKL Pro compact keyboard

Logitech G703 Mouse

Well pleased with this basket for my new bicycle.

Basket for my bicycle.png


A cyclist for more than 60 years, most of the bicycles I have owned, borrowed or rented (in UK/Europe, Japan & Thailand) over the past 25 years or so have had a front basket, a feature I have found very practical and convenient.

Returned home to NZ and recently bought this fancy new bicycle with all the mod cons, but hard to come by a suitable front carrier and basket..... Found this, woven from water hyacinth (I think) in a Trade Aid shop. Zip tied and bungied onto the rear carrier, it is serving my purposes well, and does not interfere with riding.

Another, taller basket I got previously at a discount store was not a success. It complicated mounting and dismounting.
