I'm still not dead - August '21 edition

Ooo just look at me nearly missing the "still not dead " entry for August

But yeah to be quite honest it's not been a good month. All the projects I have been working on have pretty much come to a halt due to one reason or another. Infact one has hit a roadblock for 2 reasons. The first is that I need to use an oscilloscope sadly neither I nor the guy I'm working on this project with has one and in our attempts to work around it ... we have managed to kill our test Playstation 1's :(

The other project requires 3d Printing. Normally this would be no problem and I would usually just pay someone to print the stuff ... but the tolerances on the project are critical and by the time I have redesigned, paid, waited over and over it would have been cheaper just to actually buy a 3d printer. This set in motion the idea if I had a 3d printer I could actually offer print services myself so new revenue steam to finish the first project but again that's like £300 which I don't have.

I know first world problems right?

Ted and Dougal are doing well they are currently going through a dominance phase which means lots of rumble strutting and mounting. I swear these are the only two pigs I have ever had that have gone through this (at least to this extent ) but as long as they arent fighting and drawing blood its all good and SHOULD settle down ... eventually

Anyway I'm gonna go a grind for a couple of hours in Tales of Eternia ( Tales of Destiny 2 US)

Tomorrow I have my yearly Diabetes blood/urine test so ill be drinking a metric ton of water to see if I can get a "drink less" comment again haha

Anyway as always comments and questions are always welcome :)

Thanks to the one-and-only current world topic prices for old consoles and games have reached ridiculous values.
I've could have gotten a big stack of PS1/PS2 consoles (without cables/controllers) in 2019 for 5€ each on the fleamarket. But stupid me thought: "For what should I need so many PlayStations as are for sale here? Nobody wants them."
Maybe you can get motherboards only or consoles with broken drives for cheap.

Doesn't sound too good.

I would like to say something positive to cheer you up. Honestly, my own condition makes that impossible. Everything would sound like a platitude.
