@GustavinoBevilacqua a mid-sized wind turbine should also suffice.

Wow, I didn't know the #AppleWatch was still so short on battery life. 24hrs with caveats?
My (cheap) #Amazfit watch goes just under a week between charges. I guess you'd need to incorporate a daily charge routine into your life with the Apple product.
Do people charge it at their desk at work, or on the nightstand overnight? Raises issues of theft risk if a workplace thing. I'm sure it's manageable with a routine, just a bit more tedious I'd guess.

What nice treat!
What nice treat! Elderly Italian couple neighbours with a set of plum trees dropped off a tray of plums for us. A little small this year he says, but apparently tasty.
I offered some tomatoes in return, but felt a little silly, as I know the local Italian community is big into growing tomatoes. Sure enough they are overloaded with them too.

Apropos of nothing, Wikipedia tells me: Mason jars are named after tinsmith John Landis Mason, who patented it in 1858.

Wah โ working away in the backyard turned to see a fox going past on the other side of the garden.

I've seen them before on the edge of the city's greenbelt but not here in the middle of town. Maybe it was him that was trying to dig under our shed. Concrete pavers blocking that now.

RE: I have lotsa #DewaltTools which I've found to be decent.
More appropriate for a premium product would've been an immediate replacement shipped to me and the old one factory refurbished and resold as such.

RE: I have lotsa #DewaltTools which I've found to be decent.
Update on my six month old #dewalt drill that developed a directional instability.
After I finally found their customer service their help was just to point me to their local service centre. So I had to drive across town to bring it in. It was still under warranty and today I picked up the repaired item after a motor and switch replacement.
Glad it was repaired, but disappointed that it failed and that they didn't make warranty coverage more effortless.

Yum!
Yum! Best use I know of for a fresh garden tomato, is a Caprese salad.
It's mozzarella di bufala, with some garden basil and then a drizzle of balsamic and olive oil.

RE: I've long wanted one of those crude but durable quilted moving blankets for use in the #workshop.
Further to my ponderings yesterday, I got a couple of utility/moving blankets for the workshop. They're roughly 1m x 2m (40" x 72") in size and were shipped with crazy unnecessary overnight delivery.
Anyway they look fine for my intended purpose. They are getting a cat scan as I type this.
