Bought the components for a 150 watt vertical mosfet amplifier module.
It uses the old Maplin Hitachi lateral mosfet datasheet amplifier circuit but with vertical mosfets on the output.
JLCPCB made the pcb's for me.
Not done any amp building for a couple of years now so will make a nice change.

Using it to archive LP's in the living room as it is fanless.
Running headless and via xrdp, ssh, and sftp to control and transfer files.

A HomeWizard Energy Display to see the energy generated by our solar panels, our energy use (electricity and gas), both real time and per day.
I can also connect a serial socket to an appliance and measure it’s energy consumption. It will be displayed too.
I already had the app to see this on a tablet and on a smartphone, but this display is a nice addition.
Regards, Gerrit

An Asus Motherboard with Ryzen 5600X processor with 8Gb Ram and a Samsung 1TB NVMe card to replace the guts of my 10 year old PC that had got in the habit of crashing with that lovely blue screen!
Running sweetly now and feels much faster!

A cool little Silvertone 1482 built by Danelectro. Single 12" with 2 6V6's
Two industrial paper staplers. I had been following the auction for some weeks and each week they have been relisted at lower reserves as there were no bids. (In this digital age who uses paper ?)
The electric model was described as 'powers on. No further testing' and looked as though it had been ratted for parts with several case screws missing.
The electronic model was described as 'does not power on.No further testing'
Upon arriving home with them I found the electric model worked fine and just needed replacement case screws.
The electronic model's neon was dead but it did power on ;-) Though had some major breakage in the mechanism.
3 hours of thinking and 10 minutes bodging has it working again. Won't be reliable fix for heavy use but good for hobby and home.
Both purchased for 1/300th of current new retail.

Should last through winter..

You know WHY you’re not supposed to ride a winch lift with your cargo? Well, that’s why.
Went for about 5 years without incident - until it didn’t.
Yeah... get well. Look at it, winter is coming so if you're gonna be laid out, better now than May.
Oh, those screws... metric, I'll bet. Take a look at the itemization in the hospital bill. I'll bet they are charging you for the stainless steel screws, plates, drill, etc... Join the Frankenstein Club... ;-)
Vikoden will be your friend for the near term. A martini with a Vikoden used to be my friend when I started physical therapy...
Vitamins! Hopefully to help heal my idea of being a roofer for a couple of days. But you know, it ain't no winch accident. Wow. That crap can happen to anyone and often does. Ask my nurse/daughter.
Of course you have to buy all the hardware, and the installation fees. Poor nurse couldn’t by a vein to save her soul yesterday and now look at…..All over the damn place like usual. Of course they get smacked all the time and I end up bleeding all over my work.

Take care.
Antibiotics? For infections?
And take a second opinion, some doctors here are stupid.
As we age, bone healing takes longer, so go high dose on folic acid, and Vitamin D, apart from the usual doses.
And ask if Hemoglobin is low.
Take care, and be careful about slipping and falling.
Exercise, it improves circulation and recovery.

The CT scan was pretty conclusive - a piece of the heel bone (at the joint!) was rotated 90 degrees. It had to be put back.
Don’t need pressure on the heel for cycling. As soon as it’s possible, it will resume. If I need to I’ll get out my R-bent for the first few weeks. It hasn’t seen pavement since the last collarbone incident and it’s getting lonely. Right after this incident I bought a cute little invention called an I-walk. May be the best $175 I ever spent. Strap it on and away you go.

My daughter used that when she did her ACL.
Nurse, yeah... going into surgery... low blood pressure makes it hard to put in the needle for the IV. Took ten times for me once.. But, honestly I didn't care, the nurse was apologetic, but it was the least of my problems that day. It wasn't like I was gonna get a 2nd opinion and/or go running down to the next hospital down the freeway.
Once the needle went in, the gas passer came by and made me feel very good.
