How to fill your time when laid up?

**hughie** · 25th February 2010, 09:18 AM

I've now got over a 1000 tips and tricks, and they're riveting reading for a while, but can I recall many the next day? Nope.
Some time later I'll recall there was a solution to a prob of interest, but finding it again? No chance.

write them all up in search able document ie pdf . Wella! instant retrieval and you will kill some time to boot and then send me a copy.

I remember when Richard Hammond of Top Gear fame crashed a Dragster at 285 miles per hour, and buried his head in the ground in the process. His favourite recovery tool was Lego... Obviously his was a head injury and yours is a wrist, but I imagine that if you have the dexterity in your wrist to be able to use the lego it would be an interesting exercise and you could play with some cool stuff

Thanks guys; lots of good ideas.

Can't type much but I will set about giving meaningful names to the 1000 or so pics taken on last year's outback trip.

Kept a daily log so should be able to do some batch renaming.

Dont seem to be doing to bad here on the forum Ern or are you using Dragon

Wheelin, the left hand touch types and RH is one finger. Lot's of backtracking for corrections

Did try a VR program a few years ago and the no of corrections needed was high enuff for me to go back to touch typing. Expect newer ones are better, and a friend who has to use one said Dragon make the best.

Well I did a couple of hours driving yesterday, first real trip since Xmas, and it kicked up a bit during but settled down after, which is very pleasing. It can live without the splint doing v. light stuff for half an hour at a time without firing up so things are improving.

Soon I'll be able to get it wet. Lookshurry!
