Chevy Nubira: End of the road

Details

Created: 08 August 2020
Hits: 135

A couple of weeks ago I was told it was almost the end of the road for my Chevrolet Nubira. Even with repairs it wouldn't make it through the MOT, so every euro spend would be wasted. That was very disappointing news, as the Chevy was a very nice car to drive with lots of space and comfortable seats.  But these things happen...

Since the end of last year, I've started with a new hobby: Pyrography or wood-burning. I already had a simple pyrography pen and last christmas my wife gave me two books with instructions and examples to finally make a real start with this pastime.

But first, what is pyrography:

For 8 I've been driving my 2005 Peugeot Partner. Bought as a second hand car in 2011, it really has been a loyal and fun partner for many miles. But lately, the Peugeot started suffering from old age. Specifically some typical brand quirks, so time for me to go look at a replacement.

MX-linux on a Lenovo Ideapad S130

Quite a while ago, my wife bought an 11" Lenovo Ideapad S130, idea was to install Linux on this netbook. Removing Windows was no problem, but I knew that installing Linux would be a challenge with the Realtek RTL8821CE wifi card and de Intel N5000 processor. But after a lot of searching and trying out several Linux distro's I finally managed it.

From WordPress to Joomla

It was (and will be for a while) quite a hassle, but I've migrated my website from  Wordpress to Joomla. And for now, I think everything is in working order. A couple of articles have been uploaded, the remaining posts will be put here in due time. I wasn't able to migrate comments from visitors, as the old site had the build-in comment system from WordPress. Here on the new site I'm giving the JComment system a try. Just to see if it suits me.

But why the change?

setThe conversion kits to turn our Trident Trikes Stowaways into e-trikes are installed. The kits by Ebike Efos were delivered and complete, so last weekend I've started installing them. As this was the first time I've transferred a bike into an e-bike I was expecting that it would take over half a day to get it done, but it went pretty smoothly. Despite the rainy intermissions a week ago.

EFOSOver a year ago, I've reposted an article about why I wasn't going to ride an  e-bike quite yet, but....

I'm not getting any younger and I find the longer you wait, the harder it gets to go back to frequent bike rides again. So, as the month of may is also the month for holiday bonus, I've started searching for information and reviews on e-bikes and suppliers. And yes, I'm gonna do it!

At the end of 2010 I bought my first android device, a Samsung Galaxy S Wifi 5.0. A 5 inch device with no phone function. A mini tablet so to speak. To replace my old usb mp3 players, which were very limited as far as storage was concerned and didn't have internal speakers. You might remember these little players:
