"now that the dogbone mount is off" - the #doggos are looking for it 😁

Got an old #Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 #tablet I was gifted by a relative a few years back (he upgraded to a newer one).

I use it mostly to read #PDF documents of scanned #books about #oldtimers , #mechanic work and #electronics (so these are quite big PDF files).

Normal #AdobeReader is laggy on this old device, and I don't need the #AI bullshit bundled with it.

Can anyone suggest a better PDF reader for Android with 0 ads, decent privacy and good performance?

Had to run to the mall last night, took the #Kia.

On the way there, rear pax brake was dragging.

Coming back, that one was fine, but front pax brake was dragging.

Not sure what that might mean ~~ Maybe lines? Maybe ABS module? Coincidentally gummy or failed calipers?

Guess it needs to go up on the jack when the weather improves :S

On the right side things also mostly seem OK aside from this play in the wheel hub... feels likely to be the CV joint I think?

Our landlord isn't all bad, I asked if I could use the disused garage for some car maintenance and he initially refused... then a week later the maintenance lady dropped by and gave me a key to it.

This is so much better than car work on wet gravel outside.

Anyway, Fox MOT due in a month and time to work out what work it needs doing and do a full service. First problem: the clunky noise from the left side... um... yeah, might have worked that out.

Not sure if this is a replacement or a repair job. Feels likely to be replacement.

On the plus side everything else on the front mech seems OK this side. All nice and stuff, no play. Plenty of pad left on the brakes.

Making a #spectacle of himself - this chap (a #mechanic in #Kent #SE #England) is wearing #RayBan #spy #glasses for the purpose of his #YouTube video.

He is carrying out the relatively harmless act of covertly filming buying 5 litres of #petrol (garages often don't like you using mobile phones) to take back to his workshop and check there is 5 litres in the can (indeed there was - not sure what he was expecting to happen, Trading Standards regularly check filling stations!)

I've got 3 spreadsheets and notebooks of receipts since 2019 (spanning 3 different #cars) where I've been monitoring fuel consumption and I've found nothing to suggest that petrol pumps across East and SE #England are delivering anything other than correct amounts (within tolerances that #TradingStandards allow)

He don't think he can fix it... 🐭🔧

@stefan omfg I want this.
Would be great as well for days I can / have to drive, but don’t go on roads above 40 mph.

Lmk when UK available and / or some #FOSS or #homebrew #nerd #engineer #homeDIY #proactive types build something similar.
Ooh!
@Maker_of_Things

…. Is there a construction kit for electric bikes and / or scooters?
