WOOHOO!

A+ and a prize? Happy days!

Could I maybe get a candle holder with a slightly wonky base? Or maybe a new cheese knife?

I've forgotten....
What should I do again if one of these come to the door asking to come in?

You invite me over so I can glare at it - I've always wanted to challenge one of these off to a "who can give off the most evil vibe" contest.

How's everyone doing tonight?

Hiya Foss! That pic of Gordi cracks me up!

With the circus leaving town in the wee hours of the morning. I thought it would be good to go down and get some night shots of the train's power before they head out of town. Some of the train was setting behind the Capitol Complex in Charleston. It's actually setting on the mainline awaiting along the West Virginia Secondary of Norfolk Southern for a crew to arrive and for the performances to wrap up.

I like the idea of that lock. The baffles preventing keyway and shackle bypass are very neat engineering solutions. My only reason for not wanting one myself, is that if the slightest bit of engineering on one of those locks was done poorly, or if something got into that baffle mechanism, like grit or dirt, I would expect to have a very posh looking paperweight, or worse, be unable to get at my property without breaking the lock.

The other issue would appear to be, that although the options for simply bypassing the keyway and shackle have been reduced to near enough zero on this model, the fact is that locks like these, D-Locks, are more often attacked by way of cutting, usually to the point where the shackle meets the body, at what I call the open end. That would be the one nearest the keyway.

Most bicycle thieves ( and lets face it, most people use a lock like this for bicycles ) are opportunistic, and do not actually have any real talent for bypassing locks without damaging them. Most of them will come up with a way to break through the shackle, or a solution which involves causing damage, purely because it is faster and requires little knowledge to achieve. Against that manner of assault, I cannot see this item being any better than any other D-Lock on the market. That said, its design characteristics, the elegance of the keyway protection particularly, do make this product interesting!

Good Morning to You Ms Night!
I'm doing fine, just got back from work... catching up in the thread.
Busy day today - Got LOTS done!


How are You?

a reply to: Gordi The Drummer

That's lock geek speak for "I very much appreciate your bringing this to my attention! Thank you very much!"

I am terrible.

Note to self, remember when to use the inner voice, instead of the outervoice!

a reply to: TrueBrit

ROFL!

Well, that's OK then!

Thanks Bro, I thought you'd be "intrigued" by that one.

Nice bit of "out of the box" thinking to come up with a solution to "lock picking".
I agree by the way, that it would be prone to jams and stuff if dirt/grit got in there!

I think that the same design principle could probably be used in other types of lock (besides the big D-Lock thing)??
Not sure.

Anyways, Glad you liked it!

Hi Shedders! Morning, I mean, um, afternoon!

Hope you are all well!

Has anyone hear heard of the Horrible Histories songs? I've been listening to them this afternoon I forgot how funny they were!
