  • Not all cats have a problem with flaps.

    I have two cats they have zero problems with the flaps. They sometimes use the flap as a short cut to sneak up on the other one when playing.

    I have those electronic ones you register with their microchip so only they can use the flaps.

    But, I still get gifts like mice, skinks, praying mantis, cicadas, leaves, etc. The flaps don't stop gifts.

  • Cyanoacrylate is a moisture cure adhesive. You have lots of moisture in your skin which helps it cure.
    Cyanoacrylate is used in medical glue because it bonds so well with skin. Depending on the cut/injury, the medic may apply glue instead of stitches.

    It's doing its job. Don't use acetone, it's bad for you.

    I scrape it off with a Stanley knife blade.

  • Oh I can wax lyrically all afternoon to tell you why I need it.

    I like to ride long off road trails. I'm tired of taking detours and getting lost in an unfamiliar area trying to find my way back on track.

    The final straw was, last weekend exploring the Whakarewarewa forest on my MTB ( in Rotorua) for trails I haven't been on before and ended up having to unnecessarily pedal up a few steep climbs because I missed a path or two. So I'm throwing technology at the problem.

    Plus, it's cool.

  • Going past the bicycle shop on my cycle home from work today to buy a Garmin 840 cycling computer. Then, after my Friday pizza dinner with wifey, I'm going to fit it to one of my other bikes and play on the weekend. I am beside myself with excitement. I can't wait.

    What to do with old spectacles...?

    Hello peeps. I wear specs and usually update my prescription every 2 years. This means I have quite a few sets of quality spectacles laying around in the desk drawer that I no longer use. This got me thinking: there must be heaps of people who can't afford specs who could benefit from some free ones. Where can I donate these specs? It must be to some organisation that gives them out for free. People must NOT have to pay for them! I'm in Auckland.

    Any ideas welcomed, thanks.
