I haven't noticed Tim on here for a while now, and he is a miss. Are you OK Tim?

Hi Les

Yes I'm fine. I retired a couple of months back so spending all my time decorating. Hence no questions on programing/electronics. I check in every few hours most days.

I will now doubt be back at it in a while.

As soon as Charlie is well enough I will be in contact so we can visit the museum.

Good to know you are still around Tim.

I get worried when a friend is not on the forum for a while. Have you heard from John Drew, because I have not seen him on the forum for a while either?

How is your foot Charlie?

John Drew keeps popping in you can see he was on the forum 2 days back

RETIRED ? !!!  Sounds like an old run down tired tire.  Bad decision, now you're going to get old fast.
As long as you keep the grey matter working you will be ok.  Many have reached twice your age, now is a good time to decide what to do with the second half.
Who's that German that gives people memory loss ?  Oh yes, Alzheimer.  Well, every day you meet a new wife, you find lots of things (that interested you before), it's like a new world every day.  Just an idea to keep you excited...

No argument, Charlie doesn't have a foot to stand on 
Careful, spare parts for old models are getting scarce...

Sounds rather like Groundhog Day?

Just like Groundhog Day, except it is ***new*** every day.

Just something to look at.

It's a lion.  Note the size of it.

Hi Les

Sorry, I've been tied up for the last few days. My foot is mending thanks. The plaster was removed two weeks ago and I am creaking my way towards walking again. It's painful but I'll get there. As Tim said, as soon as I can drive we'll arrange a day round the museum.

Fanie: Good to see you again. I was most impressed by your target-shooting of the rats. As you say, keep the little grey cells busy.

Charlie

Hi all,
I'm still around.Another project had caught my eye.
I've been dissatisfied with my commercial watering system controller so I've been working on one described in Silicon Chip magazine using a RPi Pico W behaving as a server.

Fascinating, I can now do all the watering adjustments from anywhere. Works like a charm. No coding on my part just some good old hardware work and soldering. I'm not leaving Positron or PICs though.
It's prompted me to try some more  of the wifi modules with PICs.

Life's been a bit hectic, no problems (apart from a catact op), just busy.

Look after that foot Charlie.
Best wishes to all.
John
