What have you done today

Have you seen the price of Roundup these days? Every little helps...

I have taken to using a homebrew cocktail of white vinegar, salt and laundry liquid. It keeps the weeds down without poisoning the local cats and dogs. it does have to be oversprayed every week and it doesn't kill the roots.  It is quite effective when sprayed on the huge blackberry thing invading my garden. It stopped the development of the berries and prevented the wasp and bee problems of previous years.

I have tried this method, but found the lingering smell of vinegar a bit too unpleasant. Does knock weeds down quick though.

Today, it was time to get the suitcases out and get packing for a week in Menorca (Cala en Bosch). Never been to Menorca before (been to Majorca & Ibiza loads) but it looks very pleasant. The hotel looks nice and gets great reviews and we've even upgraded to a suite. I can hardly wait for the alarm to go off at 03:45 tomorrow morning mind...

Went for a ride to Durdle Dor, without the benefit of intercom as wife’s intercom faulty. Stop 30 minutes after leaving when wife shouts she has lost her phone. Ride back to Durdle Dor to look for it, thinking it fell out in car park when she put her jacket on. Ring phone to find it was in her “other” inside pocket she didn’t know existed, all the time. Get intercom unit to replace faulty one only to find problem was a poor battery connection. Send unit back for refund (thanks helmet City).

Dare I say that you may need to consider more than one faulty item....... 

Don't know if they all come with lifetime refund though.

Not today but yesterday. I went for a pre med before being operated on next month. One of the many tests was to squeeze on a device that measured the strength of my hands. I was asked which was my predominant hand, my right and then the device clearly showed that my left hand is much stronger than my right.

I was a bit puzzled at the time but realised later that I pull the brake on my bike with my right hand, and pull the clutch (and hold it) with the left (obviously). I wonder if all motorcyclists would be the same in having a stronger left hand?

I remember reading or hearing somewhere that barmaids have one boob bigger than the other (if only slightly) because of repeatedly pulling pints with their predominant hand. Anyway, just an observation and useless peace of information. 

I wonder what I could do to exercise my right hand more to equal things up.

An old British single with a kickstarter is a great way to get lopsided muscles.....

Swap the clutch & front brake over, doc. That'll even it out. Then lend your bike to a mate.

@Dr 46,
I had a physical / dexterity assessment before starting at Rolls Royce in '12, part of which included a strength test... asked which was my dominant hand I replied "right" as I'm right handed, which was tested first then the left hand which turned out to be stronger over a greater duration. Seeing the puzzled look on my face the Dr said "that in most cases the less dominant hand is stronger because it does all the holding, steadying etc". Also most people are also likely to have less dexterity / flexibility in their non-dominant hand due to the aforementioned... opinions vary of course.

An old boy I used to work with ,now long retired, was VERY right handed.
40 plus years of rubbing down boats by hand only using his right was noticeable in his huge right bicep
His party trick was getting you to stand on the blade of a shovel,then he would pick it up, you with it !!!!!
